Dear Berlin Natural Bakery Customer,

At Berlin Natural Bakery we have a mission. What is that mission? It’s very simple…to produce heirloom spelt products that you can trust; products that are made with ingredients that you can easily recognize and that taste great. Our mission encompasses heritage and tradition, two concepts we prize highly. Grandma Moser’s Zucchini Spelt Bread is the perfect example of this heritage and has been a customer favorite since its launch in 2004. It was a favored family tradition for generations before that. We are proud to share our “family” tradition with you as we offer a special on our Zucchini Spelt Bread.

The most frequently asked question that I get is “how did I end up in the natural health industry?”  This is a reasonable question since my previous business experiences have nothing to do with the natural and organic world.  It’s actually a very easy question for me to answer.  I suffered from an illness that the doctors and specialists could not diagnose or treat.  I truly believed that is was possible that this illness could lead to my death.  None of the symptoms made any sense to anyone.  I turned to a friend that owns a wellness center in Palm Beach Florida for help.  Within ten days of alternative treatments and a major change to a chemical free and vegetarian diet, I came home 90% well.  Even my doctors were amazed at the transformation.  From that day forward, the only thing I’ve wanted to do is help people avoid the health traps that I had fallen into.  For me, this is my calling, the thing that I was born to do.

It’s hard for me to think back on those days without feeling overwhelmed and extremely grateful that I had the ability and resources to find the solution.  As I was thinking about this experience today, I realized that there is another experience that I’ve wanted to share with you that specifically relates to our products.  An amazing experience that I was able to witness first hand.

About three and a half years ago, my nephew Codye moved in with us.  He was 20 years old at the time.   He’s 6’2” tall and although he no doubt weighed more then he should have, he carried it well, mostly due to his height.  After about 8 months or so, I realized that he truly was what many of us would refer to as a sickly child.  I couldn’t figure it out what could be wrong with him because the symptoms varied.  However, some were consistent such as he was always tired, congested and always had dark circles under his eyes even after sleeping 10-12 hours.  I made recommendations such as taking supplements and getting his system into a more alkalized state.  But I was always very busy and I make it a rule to allow people to make their own choices in life.  I knew his diet was not good.  He was eating a lot of fast food and whatever he could grab and eat on the go.

Approximately a year after Codye’s arrival, he was in an automobile accident and was suffering with severe back problems.  I am a big fan of acupuncture and had been treated successfully several times myself.  Prior to the “medical” route, I thought it would be best to at least try acupuncture first.  I sent him to my acupuncturist Dr. Barbara Custer in Mill Valley California whom truly performed miracles on him.  It was amazing.  During his treatments, she also noticed the symptoms that I had noticed.  She told him that she thinks he has a wheat allergy.  WOW!  How could it be that someone living under my roof had a wheat allergy that I didn’t diagnose?

Needless to say, we immediately removed any and all “modernized wheat” from his diet and started cooking for the entire family only using our spelt baked goods and flour.  I would not allow him to change or remove any other food from his diet, so that we could know with certainty that he was dealing with a reaction to “modernized wheat.”  Within 4 1/2 months he lost 60 pounds.  Isn’t that amazing?  I’ve never seen anything like it.  He was eating grilled cheese sandwiches, pizza, breadsticks, cookies and pasta all from our Heirloom Spelt and the weight just fell off of him.  I’ve read testimonials like this, but to watch the transformation in his health and weight was incredible.  Not only did he lose the extra weight, he radiates health.  That was two years ago and he has kept the weight off.

Dear Berlin Natural Bakery Customer,

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! This is a great time to let that “special someone” know that you really DO appreciate them! What better way than a pasta dinner complete with breadsticks and dessert? We have everything on sale to help you create the perfect Valentine’s Day meal. Your food sensitivities need not get in the way of enjoying traditional favorites—they are so good, you’ll wonder why you would have ever settled for the “modernized wheat” version.

“EVERYTHING SPROUTED“

We are big fans of sprouted foods. Did you know that sprouting can increase the protein content of a seed by up to 50% and the vitamin content to 20 or 30 times its original value? Amazing indeed! However, another major benefit of eating sprouted grains is that the germination process helps to aid in the ease of digestibility.

Our sprouting process was developed specifically for Berlin Natural Bakery by the leading scientists in the U.S. that specialize in the process of germination. We sprout our grains/seeds daily on site at our bakery to ensure our quality standards are being consistently met.

Our Sprouted Products are the crème de la crème of our entire spelt line.

What an amazing year! It’s hard to believe that it’s nearly December.

There is no question that the holiday season is upon us. As much as I love decking the halls, Thanksgiving is by far my favorite holiday. Thanksgiving is the time that I stop and reflect on all the blessings in my life. Those blessings are always about the people that I’ve been fortunate enough to meet along this journey called life.

This year, there are so many new people to add to my list to be thankful for. For starters I’d like to thank all of the people that worked so hard on the issue of mandatory labeling of products that contain GMOs. All those who gave of their time and donated their hard earned money for the common good and benefit of every American and future generations. To be fortunate enough to have been involved in this cause in the early days and watching the momentum grow year after year, to a near victory in California, is something I will never forget. I truly believe, more so now than ever, that it is only a matter of time until labeling of products that contain GMOs becomes law.

I would also like to thank the entire team at Berlin Natural Bakery for everything they do every day. You are my heroes and as our testimonials state, you are heroes to all those that purchase the outstanding products that your hands create. I’ve owned and operated many different businesses and employed thousands of people over the last 35 years. The team at Berlin Natural Bakery is the absolute best I’ve worked with. Their commitment and dedication to producing products that are not easy to produce is truly remarkable.

Last but not least, I would like to thank YOU, our incredibly loyal customers. You are amazing! I cannot tell you how often I go into a store meeting and hear the words “you have the most loyal customers we’ve ever seen.” As surprising that this is to the retailers, it is not surprising to me. I’ve been reading letters and emails for many, many years from literally thousands of people, expressing gratitude for producing products that have literally changed their lives. What a blessing it is to know that what we do increases the quality of the lives of those we serve. Thank you for sharing your stories and thank you for your ongoing support of our products. Every time you purchase a Berlin Natural Bakery product, you are casting a vote in favor of a small business, heirloom grains, small batch baking, freshly stone ground flour and Non-GMO Project Verified products. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

May you and your family have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving.

Peace & Blessings,
Joy

Over the past several months most of you know that we have been focusing on the movement to label GMOs.  It occurred to me that many of our new fans and customers that found us through the Non-GMO Project or the Non-GMO Shopping Guide more then likely are not aware of the vast amount of benefits our products have to offer. If you think they taste good, you’ll be thrilled with the standards used in making them.

President – Berlin Natural Bakery

What’s in your daily bread? Check out what’s in ours!

Our production standards are based upon several decades of research and experience. We do not change our products to meet the standards of the latest trends or fads. We stay true to the mission. What is that mission? It’s very simple…to produce heirloom spelt products that you can trust. Products that are made with ingredients that you can pronounce, easily recognize, and that taste great. Sounds easy? Check out the steps we go through to make your loaf of bread.

1. Contracts are negotiated with small independent farmers throughout Germany.

2. Soil preparation and crop rotation standards are set, farmers are well trained and their farms are inspected.

3. Genuine German certified spelt seed is planted.  Our German spelt grain is an Heirloom variety that is “protected.” In the rare event that a shipment is delayed, only U.S. Certified Organic spelt grain is used to ensure our products remain chemical and GMO free.

4. Farm equipment is cleaned and inspected to ensure no cross contamination: seeder, combine and trucks.

5. Routine farm inspections are done to ensure no chemicals are being used and that the quality standards of the spelt grain are being met.

6. Genuine German Spelt is harvested and tested to ensure that it is “chemical free”.

7. Genuine German spelt grain is stored in its tight outer hull, in a separate stand alone facility that has never been used to store other grains. This facility is cooled and air blown…ensuring the grain does not become susceptible to mold or pests.

8. The spelt is de-hulled upon demand of shipment. Equipment used in de-hulling is only used for Genuine German Spelt.

9. The grain is packaged and shipped in a sanitized and inspected container.

Dr. Franck and his staff oversee the entire process of our Genuine German Spelt grain…from certified seed production …till it reaches our doors. Their standards are so high, they can literally trace a bag of grain to the field or the lot in which it was grown.

Now it’s our turn:

1. The spelt grain arrives at Berlin Natural Bakery. It is stored in coolers until milled.

2. We stone grind the grain daily on site at the bakery.

3. The flour we stone grind today…is used to produce the products we bake tomorrow. Our flour is not stored for months, which ensures no rancidity or susceptibility to pests.

4. Our stone grinding method allows us to preserve the whole grain. We lose less than 1/2 of 1% during our milling process.

5. We bake only small batch breads. We do not over work the dough, add dough conditioners, gluten or preservatives. This can only be achieved by baking small batches. We have highly skilled bakers that oversee the entire baking process to ensure consistency and quality of every product.

6. Our products are double bagged for freshness.

7. Baked and shipped fresh daily.

8. Our bakery holds the highest Kosher Certification “Orthodox Union”.

9. Our breads were the first to become Non-GMO Project Verified.

Isn’t it amazing what all we go through to produce a loaf of bread? Fortunately we didn’t have to meet these standards overnight. Many of them have been established and implemented over the years due to our never ending need to know the truth and to do what is right…regardless if it’s what is easy.

Many of you may not even care about these standards and fortunately for you…you don’t have to. You can count on us to continue to do our best to ensure you receive our best.

We know you have a choice regarding the breads and baked goods that you purchase. Thank you for choosing ours!
