Today's case
Simple things, done properly.
The case changes with the season. These are the regulars you'll find most mornings.
Our story
A tiny oven, a big neighbourhood.
Little Hearth started in 2014 with one deck oven and a sourdough starter older than our kids. We still mix every dough by hand and shape every loaf on the same bench.
We buy flour from a family mill two hours north and fruit from the Ferndale market, so what's in the case follows the Michigan seasons.
