Monk's Bread



Looking for some heavenly eats? Try Monk's bread. The bread, and other specialty food items, are made by the Trappist Monks in the Genesee River Valley of New York. Trappist Monks do not accept charity money, and part of their mantra is manual labor. Monk's bread allows them the opportunity to earn their keep and also to donate to their own charities.

Since 1953, the Monks have been making bread for the outside world. Today, Monks bread is available for purchase online at monksbread.com . On most days, 15,000 loaves of bread, and other food products are made by the 33 monks who reside at the Abbey. They are in bed by 7 pm to rise early at 2:25 am to begin their day of prayer and baking.
