Berlin Natural Bakery: What Good Nutrition Should Taste Like

Berlin Natural Bakery is a family-run bakery located in the heart of Amish Country, Berlin, Ohio, renowned for its commitment to crafting wholesome, heirloom spelt breads and baked goods. The bakery’s journey began in 1997 when the Schrock family acquired it from founders Howard and Irene Graves, who pioneered baking with spelt to offer a more nutritious and digestible alternative to modern wheat. Under the stewardship of the Schrock family—now in its third generation—Berlin Natural Bakery produces all its products from imported German heirloom spelt, which is non-GMO, glyphosate-tested, and free from pesticides and herbicides.

The bakery stands out for its dedication to small-batch baking, stone-grinding spelt daily for fresh flour, and using simple, easily recognizable ingredients—never dough conditioners, preservatives, or artificial additives. Their extensive lineup includes sourdough and whole-grain spelt breads, rolls, buns, and specialty baked treats, all lovingly made for optimal nutrition and flavor. Berlin Natural Bakery’s unwavering values of integrity, transparency, and tradition are reflected in their steadfast refusal to compromise on quality, even as they grow. Driven by a sense of heritage and community, the bakery’s mission remains to provide families nationwide with the most wholesome, authentic spelt products available—one handmade loaf at a time.
