Announcing: Farmers Market Season


Honey Bee Bakery's stand is open for business at Madison area farmers markets. You can find us three days a week this season. Tuesday at the Eastside Farmers Market located at the Wil-Mar Neighborhood Center, 931 Jenifer St., beginning May 11 from 4pm to 7pm. Saturday at the Westside Community Market located on Segoe Rd. at University Ave. in the Department of Transportation (DoT) lot April 17 through November 6 from 7am to 1pm. Sunday at the Northside Farmers Market located on Sherman Ave. at Northport Drive May 2 through October from 8:30am to 12:30pm. We will be offering a variety of hand made breads and sweet treats for your enjoyment at each of these markets.


Featuring many fine breads and sweets:

  • Whole grain organic breads:


  • A starter made from the fresh flour milled at Cress Springs Bakery leavens our 100% whole wheat bread. The bread has the slight sour of a 'sourdough' but the sweetness of whole wheat. Varieties include the popular wheat berry, wild rice, millet sesame, and seeded. The rosemary bread, also naturally leavened, is made from both organic all-purpose and whole-wheat flour for a bit lighter loaf that allows the flavor of the herbs to shine through. For those who like a dense rye bread we feature sunflower wheat and rye leavened by a rye starter passed down from the famous Bread and Puppet Theater. We love Italian breads and offer a variety of yeasted breads inspired by that tradition. These include potato bread, semolina bread, and cornmeal bread.
    You can be sure that the grains are organic and that there is nutrition in every loaf.

  • Pastries:


  • For the farmer's market Honey Bee Bakery makes a fruit studded butter-cake, whole- wheat muffins, and a variety of tartlets and individual fruit pies. We also offer savory biscuits and mini quiche featuring seasonal produce and cheeses from fellow farmer's market vendors. Our sandwich cookies and shortbread bars are very popular sweet treats. If you have ever been to Sophia's bakery and cafe you will notice how Sophia's excellent taste has influenced our line up.

For special occasions and wholesale Honey Bee Bakery offers cakes, pies, and homemade ice cream (with hand made cones of course). You can choose from a rich chocolate cake, rich white cake, fresh ginger carrot cake, or a light layered geniose cake. You may request a seasonal flavor such as raspberry, pear, plum, lemon, or even pumpkin.
