The Full Story
About
Bode Bread Co. started as a simple act of baking for neighbors, friends, and loved ones. With encouragement and positive response from those around me, I've built this dream step-by-step, with my girls cheering me on along the way. As a girl mom, I love showing them that they can accomplish anything they set their mind to!
Our Mission
At Bode Bread Co., our mission is to craft high-quality, naturally leavened sourdough products that nourish both body and community. We are committed to using traditional methods, simple ingredients, and a passion for excellence to bring the art of artisan baking into everyday homes. As a family-founded micro-bakery in Lakewood Ranch, we strive to foster connection through food, supporting our local community with every loaf, roll, and treat we bake.
Who We Are
Bode Bread Co. is a Lakewood Ranch-based micro-bakery specializing in handcrafted, small-batch sourdough creations. Founded by Heather Bode, a local resident and mom of three daughters, Bode Bread Co. was born from a passion for traditional baking, a love of family, and a desire to bring wholesome, artisan bread to the community.
At Bode Bread Co., every loaf is a labor of love-crafted with patience, natural fermentation, and the highest quality ingredients. We specialize in a variety of sourdough products, from classic crusty loaves to innovative sweet treats like sourdough muffins, cinnamon rolls, and seasonal specialties. Our offerings are always free of preservatives, relying on time-honored methods to deliver exceptional flavor, texture, and nutrition.
Rooted in the heart of Lakewood Ranch, Bode Bread Co. is more than just a bakery-it's a community-centered business that values connection, craftsmanship, and the simple joy of sharing good bread. With a growing customer base, Bode Bread Co. is poised for thoughtful expansion through diverse product lines, subscription services, and partnerships with local cafes and markets.
At Bode Bread Co., we believe that great bread brings people together-and from our family to yours,
we're proud to share the art of sourdough, one loaf at a time.
