The finest, most flavorful, freshly baked bread in the city!
It’s Alive!
Our all-natural ingredients include a little piece of magic called starter. Essentially a fermenting combination of water, flour and live yeast, the starter is, technically, alive. As we take from the starter, we add back to the starter, and the fermentation process begins anew. It’s the way handcrafted breads have been made for centuries and its part of the reason the loaf you’re holding in your hand tastes so darn good.
Fresh Bread. Eat Today.
This bread you hold in your hand is young, fresh and should be enjoyed the day you bring it home. Our sliced bread lasts 4 or 5 days on the counter, we don’t recommend putting our breads in the refrigerator since it makes the bread dry. Unlike the preservative-packed, factory-made, sliced loaf available elsewhere, our all-natural bread, fresh-baked slices won’t last forever. But you’re not buying it to look at it, right? You’re headed for the freshest, best tasting sandwich, Panini or piece of toast that ever crossed your lips. So let’s get started.

Hopekidz Farm

My 11 children and I raise and milk Nigerian Dwarf, Alpine and Lamancha dairy goats for milk, cheese and soap products. I started making soap from our own Goats Milk due to the desire to not use chemicals on my children’s skin.
Our homestead soap is handcrafted on our farm with natural ingredients including approximately 4 ounces of our fresh raw goats milk per bar, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, vegetable oil, organic herbs as available and fragrance oil creating a bar that is nourishing for all kinds of skin: dry, itchy, flaky, oily, acne and more. Our bars do not contain any coloring agents, they are varied in color due to the difference in sugar content of the milk and range from ivory to mahogany. Our rustic bars are bath size averaging 6 ounces each.
We also carry Pure and Simple, a bar that contains no fragrance or herbs and is recommended for those with allergies or sensitivities to perfumes or fragrances. It also works well for hunters needing an unscented soap.
Most people notice a difference between goat milk soap and modern day, commercial, soap the very first time they use it!
Recent studies show that goats milk provides anti-aging properties. It aids in the regeneration of collagen under the skin, negating some of the visible signs of aging.
Goat milk contains the natural vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, for healthful skin care.
This homemade soap is a natural moisturizer due to the humectant or moisture attracting properties of milk, the beneficial medium chain fatty acids abundant in the milk, and the combination of skin nourishing oils that compliment it.
It is an extremely mild and gentle, moisturizing soap, which gently cleans leaving no oily after effects.
Goats milk is a buffer that leaves skin very close to its natural pH. After using commercial soap, even the mild varieties, skin takes an average of two hours to re-establish its correct pH.
Always use a soap dish and drain well between uses to get the longest life from your bar.

Farmhouse natural cheese made in Kansas from grade-A milk for the difference you can taste and the taste you’ll want again. The word “farmhouse” in the name of their cheese refers to the fact that the cows are raised and the milk is produced on the same farm that the cheese is made. Natural cheese at its best. Jason Wiebe Dairy produces all its cheese from hormone free milk from their own cows. See pictures from our visit to the dairy in Feb 2011!

We are committed to our sustainable farming program for some very important reasons. The health of our land, herds and the nutritional value of what we produce. Our cattle have never been on the steroid and hormone roller coaster ride many adopted in the last 50 years or so, which has given us a lead on our competitors. Becoming Certified Organic was a very natural course of action to our farm since we have been maintaining our pastures and cattle in this method for years now. It is the only way to truly raise cattle. The humane treatment of animals should always be at the top of the list of priorities.
