Hello
After getting her Associate's Degree in 2007 in Culinary Arts, Rachel worked for about a decade in various small bakeries. Odd Bird Baking was born right around the time as Rachel's two sons, in Longmont, CO. After moving to Durango in 2019, Rachel started selling "Pajama Boxes" which were a dozen assorted freshly baked pastries to folks around Durango on Saturday mornings and people loved having bakery-quality pastries delivered to their doorsteps. Since then, Odd Bird has grown and is now truly a family business! We focus on originality and hope to bring some fresh ideas to old favorites. Our scratch-made pastries feature organic Colorado grown flour, produce and other ingredients from local farms and businesses whenever possible, organic rye and whole wheat flour from Mountain Mama in Monte Vista, ethically sourced vanilla extract and never any seed oils or artificial colors. We are proud vendors in the Durango Farmers Market and sell our baked goods in many stores and cafes in the Durango are and we are always looking to connect and collaborate with local small businesses! ​​
​
We update our offerings frequently to call forth the best parts of each season - fresh, bright fruit in the summer; warm, comforting spices in the winter. We hope you'll love what we have to share!
F.A.Q.
Where is the bakery located?
We are essentially a wholesale bakery, which means we do not have a storefront at this time. You can find our pastries at several markets and cafes in the Durango area.
Can I order a custom cake or pie?
Unfortunately we are not able to accommodate custom orders at this time.
What about catering for events?
We can often assist with desserts and pastries for weddings and larger events, depending on availability. We do book up quickly for wedding season. Email us to learn more.
