Fresh-Baked Breads
Sourdough, focaccia, cinnamon rolls, and more — baked from scratch each morning. Nothing beats the smell of real bread in a small town.
Daily BakesFrom our oven to your table — homemade breads, pastries, and pantry staples, right here on US-271.
The Thirsty Heifer has been a neighborhood staple right here on US-271 — a place where the smell of fresh bread meets the convenience of a well-stocked pantry. We started as a small dream between two neighbors who believed a town this size deserved a bakery that felt like home.
Today, we're proud to serve Wister and the surrounding area with goods baked fresh every morning and groceries picked with care. Whether you're grabbing a morning coffee and a warm pastry or stocking up for the week, we treat every visit like a chance to make someone's day a little brighter.
Every item is made or selected with the same care we'd use for our own family.
