Artisan bakery baking naturally leavened bread and pastries using heirloom grains from regional farmers
“Good bread is the most fundamentally satisfying of all foods; and good bread with fresh butter, the greatest of feasts.” James Beard
Beloved Tribe,
My name is Tylor Alexander, founder of Pilgrim Bread. Since 2018, I've been baking with regionally grown grains and nurturing community through bread in Tidewater, Virginia.
On July 30, I'll travel to the San Francisco Baking Institute for an intensive 7-week training in bread and viennoiserie. This marks the beginning of a deeper journey—one of refining my craft, growing in knowledge, and stepping more fully into the lifelong work I feel called to.
I'm seeking support to cover tuition, travel, and living costs while I dedicate myself fully to this experience. This is a foundational step—one that I trust will eventually allow me to serve my community with greater depth, skill, and heart.
Thank you for believing in the long road of learning.
With warmth and gratitude,
Tylor Alexander
