Crafted by Place

Freshwater Baking is inspired by the winding coasts of Brunswick and the surfside towns of Australia, two places we call home. Our bakehouse is named after Freshwater Beach in Sydney, where an easygoing, unhurried way of life has long been part of the landscape. That feeling carries through to our approach to sourdough.

We use simple, intentional ingredients, working with organic, regional grains and letting the spirit of the coast, from Australia’s surf to Maine’s tides, shape the bread.

Your Baker, Nick Green

Nick began baking sourdough in his hometown of Sydney, Australia, over a decade ago. He came to the United States to deepen his craft at the Culinary Institute of America. After graduating, Nick headed west to Big Sky, Montana, where he explored the heritage of rustic Rocky Mountain fare and found seasonal inspiration in the dramatic landscapes.

Nick and his wife, Jessica, eventually landed in Vermont and opened a cottage bakery, Fig & Fennel Bread Co., baking artisan sourdough for Montpelier and Stowe. In the Green Mountains, Nick cultivated a strong appreciation for place, prioritizing partnerships with local producers and regionally-sourced, thoughtfully-milled flour.

The ocean eventually called this Aussie to Maine, where he and Jessica found home. Here, they reimagined their bakery as Freshwater Baking, an expression of place, shaped by the timeless ingredients of sourdough: flour, water, salt.

Freshwater Baking Co. operates out of the Booker Creek Bakehouse, located in Brunswick. The Bakehouse is not open to visitors, but we’d love to see you at the Freeport Farmer’s Market and Moderation Brewing’s Night Market this summer.

Freshwater Baking Co. is commercially licensed by the State of Maine.

Regional. Organic. Handcrafted.
