History of Events

American Flatbread began in 1985 as a gift to friends and as a leap of faith. Built of fieldstone in one afternoon, the first oven raised more questions than it answered: Would it get hot enough? Would the bread stick? Would the bread taste good? To everyone's surprise it worked, and the bread was good. Three weeks later was the first public baking. People waited patiently in long lines watching fire and earth transform raw, indigestible wheat into bread that was delicious and nourishing.

American Flatbread Company soon became a traveling bakery for special, outdoor events, and we continue to look forward to these events as celebrations of summer. For each event, a new flatbread oven is constructed on-site out of stone, clay, and timbers; wood is chopped for the fire and flatbreads are prepared to be baked to order. Our distinctive clay oven and sapling structures have been a welcome sight year after year at a diverse array of outdoor events including private weddings; corporate employee parties; and music concerts.

Application for Events

American Flatbread brings a uniquely positive presence to special events. Our display is colorful, joyous and light-hearted, and educational. The presentation can include the history of bread and the relationship between good food, good health and a healthy environment. American Flatbread's presence is interactive. Free art, and make-your-own prayer flag stations can be set up at tables adjoining our oven space.

American Flatbread has application at all manner of events, bridging cultures, economic groups and generations. Over the years American Flatbread has participated in a number of different types of events including: private weddings; Museum of Natural History celebration in Central Park, New York City; Phish concerts; corporate employee picnics; and Ben & Jerry's One World One Heart festivals. Gatherings up to 80,000 people can be accommodated.

American Flatbread cuisine works for all ages of people. We tailor the menu for each event and can include flatbreads for vegans, vegetarians and meat lovers alike. American Flatbread provides high quality, clean, wholesome food baked to order in our wood-fired clay oven. Customers enjoy watching the fire and their flatbread as it is baked. All the food we provide is of the finest quality. Summertime is fabulous for creating flatbread varieties due to the abundance of fresh organic produce like basil, tomatoes, summer squash and chanterelle mushrooms.
