Dear Customers,

We are a family owned bakery that started with a dream for healthy, great tasting bread after my husband Tim and I moved to TN from Germany.

Out of this grew a passion for baking in the traditional ways which expanded to our own bakery in August of 2000, complete with a wood fired oven that we built ourselves.

Since then our business has expanded into Clarksville with our Bakery/ Cafe' through wonderful, passionate people, that care about the quality of our creations as much as we do.

Everyone at Silke's Old World Breads is a vital part of creating, baking, packaging, delivering, and selling fresh breads and pastries as well as preparing fresh , healthy food.

We never use preservatives, additives or artificial ingredients in our breads. We use lots of nourishing grains and seeds and our breads are hand shaped. We always use unbleached flours to preserve nutrients and enhance flavor. The whole rye and whole wheat flours that are an ingredient in most of our breads are organically grown.

I proudly serve our breads to our two children as part of a healthy diet and it is my honor to share them with you.

Guten Appetit!

- Silke Tyler
owner of Silke's Old Word Breads
