What We Bake

Water Tank Bakery creates wholesome bread, cookies, pastries and more. Bread is the cornerstone of the bakery’s offerings, made the slow way with long fermentation, sourdough levain, and locally sourced ingredients.  This process ensures the development of maximum flavor complexity, consistency, and exceptional eating experience.

All products are baked exclusively with NW grown grains, milled at Cairnspring Mills (right next door on Water Tank Road). These flours are stone ground and used fresh (to retain much of the wheat's natural oils, fats, and vitamins). According to Cairnspring Mills "Our farmers are contractually prohibited from using glyphosate as a harvest aid, and from using neonicotinoid-coated seeds due to their documented harmful effects on humans, pollinators, and wildlife."

By taking advantage of produce and other ingredients available from local hard-working farmers and millers, Water Tank Bakery creates food that tastes of the unique abundance of the Skagit Valley.
