Big Brick House Bakery

The Big Brick House Bakery is a small family bakery that was established in Wabash. It was created as a venue for Leigh Rowan a mother that liked to bake fresh breads and pies for her family. She pays tribute to the person who taught her how to cook, Grandma Robbins, st...arting on her birthday in October of 2007. With the bakery Leigh tries to incorporate as many local ingredients as possible. “Our mission is to help build a sustainable community, by producing food products made with the fresh local bounty”. We are raising the awareness of nutrition by attending local farmers markets. With this, Big Brick House Bakery is contributing to a flourishing local economy and sets a standard for future growth in the County.

Freshly milled flour began with Leigh 2004; it came to her attention that once a grain has been milled, the nutrients evaporate over time. She purchased a Stone-mill, a miniature version of the ones that use to set along the Indiana rivers, and began on this adventure to incorporate the fresh flour into her bread, noodles and pasta. The Big Brick House Bakery stone mill is used daily to grind small batches to provide you with the freshest and most nutritious whole grain products in the surrounding areas. Their fresh flour makes the integrity and flavor of their Artisan bakery products. The Big Brick House Bakery now offers several types of grain. Leigh makes several of her products on a daily basis. These same breads won her the Indiana Artisan award in October of 2008. At this time she is now offering flavored breads using cheese, herbs, and vegetables. Leigh also makes noodles and pasta, just the way they were done for several generations.

In 2011 we moved our business to Fort Wayne In. Leigh expanded her line to include her homemade noodles and pastas in 2014 and has enjoyed expanding the flavors that are offered. Leigh is branching out her business in 2015 to offer her products online.

You can select from our items for Leigh to put together a gift basket to fit any occasion. Leigh is always looking to expand her product line for the bakery and is open to suggestions. Read More
