Bread Baker

The Dixboro Project is a visionary and expansive hospitality concept located in the historic village of Dixboro, Michigan. At the heart of this unique establishment lies a perfect blend of world-class dining, transformational hospitality, and the serenity of abundant natural surroundings. The Dixboro Project encompasses several distinct yet interconnected components, each delivering a distinctive experience to visitors and locals alike.

One of these components is The Dixboro House, which serves as the premier restaurant outlet of the project. This establishment is housed within the original barn structure built in 1880, which has been meticulously restored to preserve its rich history and charm. The barn features exposed 140-year-old timbers, a gambrel vaulted ceiling, and the original stone fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests. Alongside this historic ambiance, The Dixboro House operates a modern kitchen, blending tradition with contemporary culinary innovation to offer an unparalleled dining experience.

Complementing The Dixboro House is The Boro, the takeout and casual dining arm of The Dixboro Project. It operates as an all-day café that offers a variety of wood-fired pizzas, takeaway meals, expertly crafted baked goods, Roos Roast coffee, adult beverages, and much more. This café extends the project's reach beyond formal dining and into more casual, convenient options while maintaining high standards of quality and taste.

Integral to the entire Dixboro Project is its Bakery, responsible for producing world-class baked goods across all the project’s arms. The Bakery crafts a variety of products ranging from signature cakes and savory quiches to freshly baked breads that consistently impress customers. Its role is pivotal, as it supports the quality and reputation of both The Dixboro House and The Boro.
