Avalon International Breads is a “right livelihood business” which means they have three bottom lines that inform every aspect of the business. Here they are, from the Avalon Website:
Earth
Our promise: 100% organic flour in everything we make, every day. Our commitment: organic ingredients when possible, local ingredients whenever feasible, and environmentally friendly practices at every opportunity.
Community
We aspire to create an oasis of healing and compassion in a world that is sorely in need. We support organizations and projects that create a healthier, more vibrant Detroit.
Employees
Commitment to the health and well being of our employees means fair wages, good benefits and an environment that encourages growth. By working at a “right livelihood business,” all of us at Avalon benefit from an opportunity to live a life bigger than ourselves.
We’re really excited to support a ton of local bakeries like Avalon. If you’re not totally in heaven when you walk through our bakery, walk through again and ask for a sample.

Big, fat, dense brownies. Need I say more? Well, probably not, but I will…
I discovered the Buenos Aires Dulce de Leche Brownie somewhere around 2004 and I can’t say there are many chocolate treats I’d rather have. The Brownie is two layers of the Black Magic brownie with organic dulce de leche milk caramel from Argentina. It’s topped with crunchy almonds and burnt sugar. It is the sweetest, softest, and richest of all brownies.
The great thing about Zingerman’s is they are a local company based in Ann Arbor, and it’s part of their mission to create really good food that makes you happy (hello…successful!). We have partnered with them to bring you the Zingerman’s Café and a huge array of their other products—Zingerman’s Creamery, Coffee, Candies, Bakehouse, and more. Bottom line: We heart Zingerman’s.
