Corinna’s Comestibles is a wholesale bakery in New York’s Hudson Valley. We provide wholesale baked goods to retail outlets such as markets, food co-ops, shops, bakeries, cafés and restaurants. To contact us, please use our contact form. Because we are wholesale, to-the-trade only, we don’t list a phone number on this website, however if you’d like to speak with us, use the form and we will get back to you very quickly.

Our food is natural, which to us means that we don’t use products containing artificial chemicals, colors, flavors or preservatives. While those weasels at the Food & Drug Administration refuse to define ‘Natural‘ - except as used in the wholly misleading phrase, ‘natural flavoring’ which is a misnomer as it can actually describe things that can only be described by normal people as ‘artificial’ - we say that definition we just gave is the one we live by. We use no bleached or enriched flour, and when we preserve things like dough for freezing we use vitamin C. We use nothing mass produced, make everything from scratch and take no shortcuts.

Some of our food also is made using only organic,  ingredients, though we’ve not gone for the by now co-opted USDA Organic label. When we say ‘made using Organic ingredients’ we mean that we’ve sourced ingredients that have themselves gotten the Organic certification. We clearly label food as containing organic ingredients, and don’t when it doesn’t, but we cannot call our products organic according to those weasels at FDA.

We use local products wherever possible. Living adjacent to a 350-acre Biodynamic (basically meaning ‘organic with religion’) farm, things like milk from our local Swiss Brown cows, local produce and artisanal cheese and quark, berries and fruits is fairly easy and we do it wherever we can. As Hawthorne Valley Farm has no separator, we use commercial milk that has not been bio0engineered or produced by farms that use milking parlors - we patronize farms that have grass- and grass-and-sileage-fed cows that roam free. Butter is another big issue; again, organic for those products so labeled and bought from farms with the same conditions for the cows as the milk.
