About Us

Stone Ground Bakery was established in 1979 by Hans Schmerse as a small European bakery. Using old world baking techniques, centuries old family recipes, and a passion for bread, Stone Ground soon was recognized as the premier bakery in Utah.

The family business continued as siblings Derrick and Tammy took over Stone Ground from their father Hans. Derrick traveled the country studying with renowned bakers and learning old-world secrets and techniques to produce bread with succulent aroma and full of flavor. 

Today, Stone Ground Bakery – along with their sister company Wheat Montana Bakery in MT, is owned by Tilia Holdings Company, based in Chicago, IL. Tilia and both bakeries strive to offer high-quality, delicious products to customers throughout UT, MT, and the United States.
