What is it about bread and the comfort it brings? Imagine walking into a kitchen with the aroma of fresh baking bread in the oven, and not having to have done anything but turn the oven on the appropriate heat and place the loaf into the oven to cook for 25 minutes. That is what you can have with a bread subscription box. This post is about our experience with the baked goods and pasta from Wildgrain.

What do you get in a Wildgrain box?
Wildgrain baked good and pasta boxes vary by season. Typically you can expect to have an assortment of sourdough bread, hand-cut pasta, and pastries in each box. These items would stay in the freezer until you are ready to cook them. There is no need to defrost, each item goes from the freezer right into your oven to bake. You have your choice of a Mixed Box or a Bakery Box.
A sample Mixed Box may include:
- sourdough country bread
- wheat bread – sourdough
- sourdough harvest bread
- 12 oz pack of fresh, hand- cut linguine
- 12oz pack of fresh, hand-cut papperdelle
- 4 sourdough croissants
There are Health Benefits to Sourdough
Each of Wildgrain’s products are made in small batches with clean ingredients and zero preservatives. Sourdough bread contains lactic acid, which helps our bodies better absorb nutrients like iron, calcium, and magnesium. Also, sourdough has prebiotics in it that keep your gut healthy and increases your digestion of these nutrients. Having food with prebiotics supports your digestive health*. Wildgrain products are also an excellent source of fiber.
“Our fermentation process digests the majority of gluten. Some people with gluten sensitivities may find sourdough bread easier to digest.”

Sourdough Accompaniments
The possibilities are endless with crusty, tangy, sourdough bread. Here’s a few suggestions for how to enjoy it:
- simply with tasty butters & jams
- dip it in olive oil & fresh herbs
- use it as the bread on your sandwich
- dip it in marinara sauce
- bring it to a dinner party
Wildgrain makes it easy to have fresh breads, pastas, and pastries delivered right to your door.

Our Review of Wildgrain
I was so excited for the this box of baked items and pasta because it sounded like a unique take on subscription boxes, and we LOVE food over here. My 1st Mixed Box subscription arrived within 5 days of my initial order and came stocked with some delicious looking treats.
This box contained:
- Sourdough Loaf
- Seven Grain Sourdough Loaf
- Rosemary Garlic Sourdough Loaf
- Whole Wheat Sourdough Loaf
- 12oz Fresh Fettuccine
- 12oz Fresh Tonnarelli
- 6 pack of Orange Cranberry Biscuits
The items arrived packaged with dry ice and ice gel packs to insure the contents stayed cold. Each item was flash frozen and individually vacuumed sealed. The instructions on the box were straight forward, which stated to remove the contents and place the items in the freezer as soon as possible. Because they arrive insulated and with dry ice, it will stay cold a while after arriving. Each item had its own instructions on it with the cook time and temperature.
Delicious Eats
For a savory treat, we had the Rosemary Garlic Sourdough loaf and dipped it in an olive oil – balsamic mixture with a sprinkling of red pepper flakes. This paired well with a nice bottle of Chardonnay, however if you prefer red, a Pinot Noir or Shiraz would go nice too.
For dinner we had tried the Tonnarelli with a meat-less marinara sauce. Tonnarelli is like spaghetti except that it’s a little thicker. It held on to the sauce nicely, which made the whole dish a mouthwatering experience!
The Orange Cranberry Biscuits were zesty, they were the perfect mix of tart and sweet. Between the coffee and the biscuits the house smelled delectable, like a cafe, perfect for a quiet Sunday morning. These biscuits were great lightly buttered.
We enjoyed the whole wheat sourdough with a slow cooked venison roast, this had a creamy mushroom gravy that we enjoyed dipping this loaf in. We would have used the leftover slices for sandwiches but there wasn’t any left! So, for lunch the next day we had the seven grain sourdough loaf with Boar’s Head EverRoast Chicken, Havarti, & mayo…scrumptious!
We are planning to make a Fettuccine Alfredo dish next week that we anticipate being just as tasty as our last pasta dish using Wildgrain’s fresh-cut pasta. I have no doubt that the last loaf will be as amazing, however we decide to eat it.
Final Verdict on Wildgrain Bread Subscription
If you are thinking of trying this subscription I would highly recommend it. The fact that there is zero commitment to continue the subscription if it isn’t for you makes it totally worth it for at least one try. If you do try it, please let us know what you thought, maybe you’ll have a delicious recipe you want to share for our next box 🙂
