Cost of "standard" naturally fermented loaf of bread at your local artisan bakery?

Store baked bread usually has a list of ingredients longer
I'll have to look, but I'm not doubting you.
It's interesting you write that, because I find naturally fermented (sometimes CALLED "sourdough" but not sour) lasts nicely in the fridge and never actually gets moldy.
My wife often puts these breads in the fridge and it makes a big improvement in their shelf life, but I don't like the 'texture' (??) when it's kept in there.
 
No not meant that way. Not personal. Just not really comparable. I could almost call that a cake. But yes, packaged from a store is not what I wanted to compare

I can judge something about a community by comparing real loaves of real bread

Something that was nearly lost in the USA
No worries, Pablo. I knew it was more about bakery sourdough, and we're on the hunt for something healthy ourselves, and it's hard to come by. That's just one we looked at the didn't have ingredients that were on our own no-no list.

Bake yourself. You know what you get. Problem with me, I eat too much when I bake!
 
I started baking my own raisin bread, and a few other breads. This is for a number of reasons. One, it has no preservatives and is healthier for me. Two, it's cheaper and tastes better. Three, I'm retired and have more time. I can keep the bread in the refrigerator for a couple weeks and it does not mold on me.

Winklers bakery in Winston Salem N.C. was opened in 1799 and operated by Moravians in what is now Old Salem. The huge brick oven is fired in the early morning hours and reaches around 700 degrees and then raked clean of coals and closed up with cast iron doors until the temperature gets down to 400 degrees F. then pans of bread, cookies are slid into the oven. They’re Moravian sugar cakes, bread and cookies sell out in a matter of minutes. I asked a volunteer in period dress if I brought her an unbaked pizza would she bake it for me and she said yes but get here early. If heaven has a smell, it more than likely smells like Winklers Bakery! My wife’s sourdough bread.

We keep some in the freezer for the times we run out. It doesn't hurt it at all.
 
Not multigrain. Just wheat. Unsliced loaf of good artisan bread. Grocery store bread does NOT count.

Ours is around $9.

Avenue (but borderline, they sell in grocery stores)
