    I have not gotten to their home shop yet, but I've delighted in their breads for years.  High quality and always yummy!  They can be found on little stands in nearly every grocery.

    You can get When Pigs Fly at Whole Foods and Shaw's (or click on their website to find out where you can get them on the East Coast).  Love their 6 grain & pumpkin seed bread.  It's one of the few things that I miss about the East Coast.  Hope that I can find an equivalent in Seattle.

    According to their website, they are opening a site in Somervillle, MA.  Cool!

    My West Coast equivalent is Dave's Killer Bread.  More spendy, but it will do.

    I don't know if it is "the best damn sourdough bread ever"? I went to try it because I just happened to be in York Harbor. I don't know what kind of sourdough bread they have elsewhere in York Harbor, but  I have definitely had better. In fact I would have to say it really does not taste like sourdough bread... just white bread, the sourdough flavor is very mild. Now! San Francisco (just about anywhere) is where you want to have sourdough bread, but there are also a lot of other places that have good sourdough.

    I didn't try their chocolate bread, because they were out, but their raison bread was a typical raison bread, nothing more.

    I would say, if you want some bread and you are in the area, When Pigs Fly is a good place to get local bread that's about what you can expect from most grocery stores (in fact they told me they supply grocery chains).

    Best damn sourdough bread ever, outside of the home baked version.  Their facility has a tiny store where they sell their breads.  One of my favs that you never see in stores is their chocolate bread.  Well worth the road trip!
