Learn about San Diego Urban Farm's passion for German bread culture and commitment to crafting healthy, artisanal sourdough bread.
Our Story
San Diego Urban Farm began like many home-based bakeries during the pandemic. In the midst of COVID-19, we found ourselves unable to find the kind of bread we grew up with—bread that is flavorful, wholesome, and truly satisfying. So, we turned to our roots and began baking sourdough bread in our own kitchen, bringing a slice of German tradition to our new home in San Diego.
For us, bread isn’t just food; it’s deeply personal. Growing up in Germany, bread was a cornerstone of life. Some of my fondest memories are of summer mornings during school breaks, hopping on my bicycle to visit one of the many local bakers, each with their own specialties. I would rotate which type of bread I’d bring home for breakfast, where we’d enjoy it with cheese, jam, and other simple delights. Even now, when I visit friends and family in Germany, no Sunday is complete without a trip to the bakery and a big, rich breakfast filled with fresh bread.
Our Mission
At San Diego Urban Farm, we aim to share this love and connection to bread with our community. Our mission is to show you that bread can be so much more than a side dish or a simple staple—it can be an experience. Our sourdough bread is crafted using traditional methods, ensuring that it’s not only rich in flavor but also healthy for your digestive system and overall well-being.
We may not be able to make bread gluten-free, but we do make it wholesome, nutritious, and packed with natural goodness—bread as it’s meant to be.
Our Promise to You
We want our customers to feel like they’re part of something special, a tradition passed down for generations. Every loaf we bake is made with care, quality ingredients, and a respect for time-honored German baking techniques.
