Our "From Scratch" BakeryHave you ever heard the expression “made from scratch”? It means to start out with “nothing” or just the raw materials and to make something out of it. But the truth is that you don’t really start out with “nothing”. You start out with knowledge and a desire to create something out of that knowledge and resources that you decide to acquire.

Baking "from Scratch.” What a "from scratch" bakery means to us is that the baked goods are crafted on site. Each day, ingredients are selected, prepared, combined, baked and sold in small lots. You might even say that each particular product is nurtured, and you may not find the same selections of baked goods each day. There is nothing pre-made or bought pre-mixed. Some bakers might call their "from scratch" bakery an “artisan” bakery, meaning that the baked goods and breads are created in the same painstaking way that an artist might create a one-of-a-kind piece of art. Each loaf of bread, muffin, or cookie might be just a little different from the next one.
"From Scratch" baking has a clear advantage in the fact that the baker can control the ingredients and accommodate any special dietary or allergy needs of the customer. Scratch baking is free of synthetic or harmful chemicals and preservatives, and is a testament to the skill of the baker. The products are not just uniquely crafted but made with select ingredients, individual skills, talent, and knowledge gained through years of experience.
Busy schedules are often to blame! Made from scratch is what your great-grandmother did, or if you’re lucky enough, what your grandmother did or still does today. The art of baking from scratch seems to have been lost somewhere from the grandmothers to the mothers of today. Busy schedules are probably to blame for much of it, but you can still have that uniquely delicious, made from scratch experience in Clark Fork, Idaho! So, where can you buy that tasty loaf of bread, one-of-a-kind cookie or special pastry? The answer is clear. In Clark Fork, Idaho, it’s at The Clark Fork Pantry or www.clarkforkpantry.com to the rest of the USA.
