TOGETHER WITH JAN’S FARM THREE FORKS

If you like sourdough bread, you’re gonna love this.

Jan's Farm Three Forks is a family owned farm making incredible sourdough and growing fabulous local produce.

I’ve had a lot of bread in my time… and this might be the best sourdough I’ve ever had. (Personal favorite is the sourdough rye raisin loaf 🍞).

They do free deliveries on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in Bozeman and Belgrade between 9am and 1pm (orders must be received by 5pm the night before you want it!)

You can find out more and order your first loaf at jansfarmthreeforks.com.
