About Misty Mountain Bakes
Misty Mountain Bakes is a small, woman owned business located in the Mt. Baker foothills. This cottage bakery has both a scenic, Glacier pickup location, and a weekly pickup location in Bellingham Washington.
Avery Simmons, and the owner of Misty Mountain Bakes, is thrilled to share her passion for sourdough with the Bellingham community!
Avery is a student at Western Washington University, and having her own business is a dream. She has been baking sourdough bread for 4 years, and in that time her interest in naturally leavened bread and wild yeasts has only grown! What started as a side hustle has now become a fully fledged business, and Avery is so grateful for the community that brought her here.
Alongside baking, Avery is incredibly passionate about animals, and everything outdoors. You can find her hiking, running, and working with an array of animals in her free time!
As a licensed cottage baker, Avery bakes all of her bread in small batches at home in her residential kitchen, where every product is made by hand. From her kitchen to yours, she hopes you enjoy!
Our Values
In a world where homemade is industrialized, small batch, sustainable, and handmade goods are important to us at Mountain Misty Bakes!
In order to achieve maximum sustainability, we’ve implemented the following protocols to help our cottage bakery run more efficiently.
- Second hand pans and appliances
- Large batch baking
- Kraft paper bread bags
- Community pickup location
- Food scraps become chicken food
We hope that these protocols matter to you like they do to us!
Please note, that since we use thrifted, used, and second hand food grade pans and appliances, each one is unique! This can lead to some variation in product dimensions, especially in our focaccia breads. Rest assured, all breads are measured by weight to make sure the same amount of dough goes to each, though some visual differences are possible.
Thanks for understanding, and supporting our efforts towards sustainability!
