We tend to judge bakeries by their aroma, and the warm, wonderful smell that welcomed us on our first visit to the Big Sky Bread Company has made us its slave. Now we eagerly drive the extra miles to buy our bread at Big Sky rather than the grocery store. This is a bread bakery, so don’t come in here looking for a cake or bagels (which you could purchase across the street at Sam’s), although you will find a small assortment of cookies, muffins, and cinnamon rolls. The bread selection changes daily and depends on the whim of the baker, but you can count on a couple of different “classics” (honey whole-wheat, unbleached white, light oat-cracked) as well as a few specialty breads (cinnamon-walnut-raisin, challah, sauerkraut sourdough rye) to appear on the menu board on the back wall. If the smell isn’t enough to convince you, the samples laid out by the cash register will have you grabbing for your wallet. And being addicted to Big Sky has its privileges, most obviously membership in the store’s discount club, which offers a free loaf for every dozen you purchase.
