If you’re looking for a store front and an open sign, you won’t find it from Lost Woods Bread Co. What you will find is a unique bread subscription and online store full of quality, naturally-leavened breads made right here in Naples, New York.

Steve Frank, owner and baker at Lost Wood Bread Co.

Originally a chef from Rochester, Steve Frank has recently brought his home bakery business, Lost Woods Bread Co., to our town of Naples. After 18 years in the restaurant industry, Steve Frank began his passion for handcrafting artisan sourdough bread in early 2018. He specializes in small-batch, hand-crafted, naturally leavened breads that not only taste better, but are better for you. Sourdough levain consists of nothing other than simply flour and water. It’s richer in mineral and nutrient content due to lower phytate levels and is more easily digested.

Naples has seen its fair share of new businesses despite challenges faced by the pandemic, including Naples Brewing Co. and Plenty the Bakery. Frank says that while he’s seen his own challenges, the pandemic has also brought a lot of growth for his bakery.

“When people were struggling to stock their pantries and avoiding crowded supermarkets,
our service provided a reliable, local resource. In a world where you might not know where
your food is coming from or how it’s processed, it’s comforting to know exactly what you’re
putting in your body.”
– Steve Frank, owner & baker
