20th Anniversary Celebration
Thank you to everyone who came to help us celebrate!
Join us in celebrating 20 Years of Rustic Bakery
In 2005, Rustic Bakery began with a simple sourdough flatbread cracker specifically designed to pair with artisan cheeses. The first order of 50 cases of Olive Oil & Sel Gris Flatbread was sent to Cowgirl Creamery which was the beginning of a 20-year partnership which continues today.
Since that first shipment, our craft has grown into two decades of taking simple ingredients and creating extraordinary moments. From the beginning, Rustic Bakery flatbreads were crafted to create perfect pairings, and in that spirit, the 20th anniversary celebration brings together the partners and community who’ve shared in its journey. In honor of the milestone, Cowgirl Creamery has created a new cheese called “Howdy, Partner – a triple cream, bloomy rind cheese topped with Chipotle & Cayenne inspired by Rustic Bakery’s Chipotle & Cayenne Biscuit. The cheese is now available for purchase at all Rustic Bakery café locations and is featured in limited-time anniversary café menu items.
11:00 am – 1:00 pm
September 19 & 26 • October 3 & 10
Enjoy samples showcasing Howdy, Partner cheese at all 5 Rustic Bakery cafés every Friday until October 15!

To celebrate our 20th Anniversary, we partnered with a group of distinguished Culinary Tastemakers to create the ‘Perfect Bites’—pairings of Rustic Bakery favorites with Cowgirl Creamery cheeses. Among them is the exclusive ‘Howdy, Partner,’ a chipotle & cayenne triple-cream cheese inspired by our Chipotle & Cayenne Biscuits and crafted especially for Rustic Bakery. Each Tastemaker received a Tasting Kit filled with Rustic Bakery and Cowgirl Creamery products to inspire their unique creations.
