Field notes

Production follows a fixed Friday cycle: the starter is fed twice daily, dough is mixed at night, folded four times, chilled, and baked the next morning. The page specifies a six-loaf limit and a 22-hour fermentation, with orders closing at 6 p.m. Thursday. Anthem customers can choose free pickup or pay a flat $9.95 delivery fee; payment is collected at the door rather than during reservation.
