Preserve soda bread

hi there

I bake a traditional irish soda bread and sell it at local markets. I want to supply some local shops but need to improve the shelf life of the bread. any suggestions for a natural preservative 

Thanks

I have found you can replace 1/2 of your buttermilk with sour cream, it adds more moisture and the bread will stay fresh a day or two longer.
