Something Magical is Baking in Danville, Vermont

Welcome to Zymemancy Bread Co.! We take simple, wholesome ingredients—flour, water, salt, and wild yeast—and let time do the heavy lifting. We believe that life is far too short for bland, mass-produced grocery store "bread." Real bread makes people happy, and we are here to bring that happiness straight to your kitchen table.

Our full website and online ordering system are currently fermenting behind the scenes, but the ovens are hot, and the bread is rising!

Meet the Baker

Zymemancy is owned and operated by Brett Parker. Originally from Virginia, Brett's wife introduced him to Danville, and it took just one visit for him to realize this community was the perfect place to raise a family. When he isn't baking, you can usually find him enjoying the local trails or grabbing a bite at Three Ponds.

What started as a hobby baking just two loaves at a time at home quickly turned into an obsession with the craft. To understand how to bring exceptional artisan bread to a larger scale, Brett immersed himself in the bread program at Three Ponds. Now, he’s scaling up that joy for the entire Danville area, putting love, care, and nutrition into every single bake.
