As August turns to September, and our thoughts turn to school lunches, we will be certain to pack Wedemeyer sandwich breads. Their German Rye and Sourdough make fantastic sandwiches. Then there is the Hamburger Schwartzbrot, a traditional and delicious black bread. All are brick-oven baked and delivered fresh to Piedmont Grocery.

This South San Francisco company, crafts breads have that “old country” taste. Generations of German-Americans in the Bay Area have grown up with and enjoyed their wonderful wares since their founding in 1936 by German immigrant Friedrich Wedemeyer.
