Pastries
We bake our pastries in the wee hours and bring them at the peak of freshness to farmers’ market every Saturday. We use high-quality butter from grassfed cows and locally raised / produced eggs, meat, fruit and vegetables in our pastries.

Croissants
We make our croissants with a blend of yeasted and sourdough preferments, giving them a depth of flavor that complements the cultured grassfed butter we roll between the layers of dough. In addition to the classic croissant, we are also making croissants filled with chocolate, homemade almond paste, pretzel croissants, swiss chard (from our garden) and gruyère cheese (from Tulip Tree), ham (from Schacht Farm) and swiss and cinnamon swirl. We also make a rotating selection of seasonal croissants, including strawberry-nutella (house made), strawberry-rhubarb pie, peaches and cream, blueberry-lemon cream, baked apple, pumpkin pie, tomato-mozzarella, turtle, and banana-cream pie.

Lye-Dipped Pretzels
Our pretzels are made from an authentic German recipe that comes from the small town where Eric was a high-school exchange student. The bakers there showed him how to twist the preztels with a swing of the wrist and Eric remembered it 10 years later when we started making pretzels. We make them the traditional German way, by adding a touch of pork lard to the dough (from Schacht Farm) and dipping them briefly in a lye solution just before baking.

Toasted-Oat Scones
These scones are two-thirds whole grain, in the form of rolled oats, toasted at low heat in our oven, and freshly-milled whole-wheat pastry flour. Look for seasonal fresh berries garnishing our oat scones.
