Anchor & Rye

Anchor & Rye is an artisanal baking company focused on creating deeply nourishing, flavor-rich breads and baked goods through time-honored techniques and intentional sourcing.

Specializing in sourdough, the bakery uses organic heritage grains from Northeast farms, stone-milled flour, and long fermentation processes that enhance both flavor and digestibility. Beyond bread, the same philosophy extends to cookies, banana bread, and other baked goods made with pasture-raised eggs, cultured butter, and high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients.

Every product reflects a commitment to sustainability, craftsmanship, and a slower, more thoughtful approach to food.

Our Story

Anchor & Rye began the way a lot of good things do: quietly, at home, with time to pay attention. What started as sourdough experiments during quarantine became something deeper, shaped by an engineer's curiosity and by memories of bread as the center of Persian hospitality.

Alaleh is the founder of Anchor & Rye. By day, she works as a civil engineer, designing sustainable infrastructure for Boston's future. Off the clock, she is at the bench, working with flour, water, and wild fermentation. The two practices mirror each other more than you'd expect. Both demand precision. Both reward patience. And both remind you that the best results come from respecting processes that can't be rushed.
