INCREDIBLE WILD FLOUR BREAD BAKERY IN FREESTONE

One of our favorite amenities in West Sonoma County is Wild Four Bread, a family operated bread bakery located in the tiny town of Freestone, which is located halfway between the towns of Sebastopol and Bodega on Highway 116.

The bread is baked in a brick oven, and comes in some very unique varieties. Sure, you can get hard crust whole grain bread, but stop in and sample some of the more unusual breads from the bread tasting bar--all created by artisian baker Jed Wallach.

We particularly love their Goat Flat bread—which is pretzel shaped and baked with goat cheese and onion, and the amazing Foogzie Bread (baked with Gouda cheese and garlic) is to die for.

Not to mention that you will always find the bread variety that you want fresh from the oven. There have been times when a fresh loaf did not even survive the 3 minute drive back to our house! It’s that good.

The bakery also features table seating, an espresso bar, and the biggest sticky bun in the history of the culinary world.

Just outside the bakery is a wonderful organic garden that bakery customers--as well as the merely curios—are encouraged to stroll through. The garden provides an endless supply of organic fresh herbs for the bread baked there.

All of this makes Wild Four Bread a must addition to your West Sonoma travel checklist and a not insignificant reason to consider locating your weekend home here.
