FAQ
Shipping, local delivery, storage, baking, and our grains.
Shipping and local delivery
Which products ship nationwide?
Our baking mixes ship anywhere in the United States. They are shelf-stable and travel well. Rates and timing are shown at checkout and on our Shipping & Local Delivery page.
Do frozen products ship?
Not yet. Frozen ready-to-bake cookies, scones, and biscuits are delivered in Greater Boston and carried by select retailers. If you are outside our delivery area, join the frozen shipping waitlist on the Shipping & Local Delivery page and we will email you when that changes.
Where is Greater Boston local delivery available?
Local delivery is available to a set of eligible Greater Boston ZIP codes. Weekly orders close Wednesday at midnight, and deliveries go out on Saturday or Sunday depending on your ZIP code. Delivery is $8, and free on orders of $50 or more.
How can I check my ZIP code?
Enter your ZIP code on any frozen product page, on the Frozen Ready-to-Bake collection, or on the How It Works page. Checkout only offers local delivery to eligible addresses.
Where can I find Anchor & Rye in stores?
Our Find Us page lists cafés, specialty stores, farm stores, and seasonal markets that carry our products. Selection varies by location, so we recommend confirming availability with the shop before visiting.
Storing and baking
How should frozen products be stored?
Keep them frozen until you bake, and do not thaw first. If a package shows a best-by date, use it as your guide.
How do I bake products from frozen?
Straight from the freezer, following the time and temperature on the package. For our brown butter chocolate chip cookies, that is a preheated 350°F oven for 18 to 20 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft.
What do I add to a baking mix?
A few fresh ingredients, listed on the product page and on the bag. The banana bread mix takes ripe bananas, eggs, and butter. The pumpkin loaf mix takes pumpkin purée, eggs, and butter. The brownie mix takes butter and eggs. Store mixes in a cool, dry pantry.
Ingredients and grains
Are the ingredients organic?
Every product starts with organic, stone-milled flour. The full ingredient list for each product is on its product page and package, and any ingredient that is not organic is named there.
Are the products gluten-free?
No. Einkorn and spelt are wheat, and rye contains gluten. Everything we make contains wheat and gluten and is not for anyone with celiac disease or a wheat allergy.
What are heritage and ancient grains?
Heritage grains are older wheat varieties kept for their flavor. Ancient grains, like einkorn and spelt, have changed very little over thousands of years. Our mixes use them for flavor, and each grain's character carries into the bake. Read more on Our Grains.
What does stone-milled mean?
The whole kernel is ground slowly between two stones. Stone milling runs cool and keeps the kernel together, which protects flavor.
Do you offer vegan or dairy-free options?
Our baking mixes are dry blends. Where we have a substitution we are comfortable recommending, it appears on the product page under Substitutions. Frozen ready-to-bake products contain butter and eggs. Check each product page for the full list.

Yes. We work with specialty grocers, farm stores, cafés, hospitality businesses, and gifting or event partners. Start on our Wholesale page.
