Wonderful bread can be found in some very unexpected places. In the rolling countryside of western Wisconsin, a bakery is tucked away in a location that receives a lot of double takes. The Castlerock Sourdough bakery is many things - it's well stocked, filled with flavors, and it's open 24 hours a day. It also just happens to be the smallest bakery in Wisconsin. It’s a tiny little place you have to see to believe - here’s what you need to know about Castlerock Sourdough.
Castlerock Sourdough is located in Buffalo County, in far western Wisconsin. If you had a good arm, you could throw a loaf of sourdough and just about hit the Mississippi River.
You’ll find the bakery at the edge of a rural road, northwest of the Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge. When you see the bakery, you’ll be surprised.
The bakery's storefront is a “bakery hut,” a tiny yellow building that’s loaded up with baked goods. It’s all made using high-quality, locally milled flour, like Bay State Mill.
On any given day, you’ll find the hut packed with every variety of sourdough. White country, dark rye, jalapeño cheddar, and cinnamon raisin are all on the Castlerock Sourdough menu.
People traveling through this area of Western Wisconsin make the Castlerock Bakery's Bread Hut a destination, arriving by car, bike, and motorcycle.
On nice days, people relax in the bakery’s dining area – a picnic table at the edge of the road. It’s the perfect rest stop, and it’s usually well-stocked with fresh bread. For the most options, show up early!
I don't know about you but these Castlerock Sourdough photos are making me crave a loaf of sourdough! Learn more about the bakery on the Castlerock Sourdough Facebook page. Once you’ve left some money for your bread, you might want to swing into the town of Trempealeau. It’s one of Wisconsin’s best hidden gems.
