A home-based bakery started in 2009 with a mission of locally sourced ingredients, whole grains, and hearth-baked breads. Abraham Palmer, the manager and baker, freshly mills all of the flour and cracked grains he uses in his bread and bakes on a wood-fired masonry oven for a true hearth-bread crust. Selections will vary, but include sourdough hearth breads, honey wheat, sourdough dark rye, spelt tortillas, sourdough english muffins, scones, chocolate almond biscotti, and more. I also bring some baked goods with gluten alternative grains like Buckwheat or Oat hearth loaves, corn muffins, or oat granola bars.

Production Practices: Significant work to obtain local, chemical-free grains or use organic grains otherwise. Often use local eggs and other ingredients like pumpkin and beets from market vendors. All flour is freshly milled and contains the germ and most of the bran. No white flour is used in the bakery. All ingredients are listed on the labels. Basic precautions are taken to keep potential allergens separated to each individual recipe. Please ask if you have any questions. 

Box Turtle Bakery sells at the Saturday Market year-round.
