The gravel back roads found throughout rural Kentucky and the intimate, country feel associated with them gives the bakery its name. It's this feeling that we want to capture and bring to the bakery. In a restaurant in your hometown, people know you by name and ask and care after your family. We want Backroads Bakery to have that same atmosphere for everyone who walks in, no matter where they're from; this can be the hometown bakery for everyone. Backroads Bakery will Serve, Sustain, and Contribute. We will work hard to provide an inviting environment for our customers and serve them efficiently. When at all possible, we will use locally grown or produced products. Any unsold food will be donated to local non-profits focusing on ending hunger in our community. Food scraps such as strawberry tops and egg shells will be composted; cardboard and plastic will be recycled (as locally accepted). We will maximize our use of technology to connect with the community, while at the same time reducing our carbon footprint with excessive paper goods. We are committed to contributing to organizations in Lexington through our products, funding, and increasing our involvement in other community opportunities. Above all, Lexington is our home and we will be good stewards of its resources. Special thanks to the Lexington Incubator Kitchen for helping us get our start! ​
