Our Story

Rooted in Festus

At Main & Mill Barrelworks, we believe that a loaf of bread is more than sustenance—it is a gesture of care. Nestled on East Main Street, our bakery has been a cornerstone of the Festus community for years.

We honor the old ways: slow fermentation, stone-ground flours, and ingredients sourced with intention. Every batch is shaped by hand, ensuring that what you bring to your table carries the authentic flavor of true craftsmanship.
