On Saturday, March 1st, the Brattleboro Food Co-op will celebrate local bread with Bread Fest. This event will feature an amateur bread baking competition (see the info and registration link at the bottom of this page) judged by local baking luminaries, opportunities to speak with master bakers, and a talk and book signing by Jonathan Stevens, baker and author of The Hungry Ghost Bread Book.
From noon-2 pm, Orchard Hill Breadworks, Taza Afghan Foods, and Red Hen Baking will be tabling in the Co-op and available to talk to anyone who might be curious about baking, their businesses, using local grain, or any other questions that might be on local amateur bakers’ minds. Then the festivities move to the Co-op Cafe. At 2 pm the winner of the bread competition will be announced, and from 2:30-3:30 Jonathan Stevens will give his talk and afterward will be available to sign books and meet audience members.
Bread Fest is a collaboration between Brattleboro Food Co-op, NOFA-VT, and Chelsea Green Publishing. The following vendors will be onsite generously participating as judges and meeting the public: Noah Elbers of Orchard Hill Breadworks, Shaima Hussainzada of Taza Afghan Foods, Red Hen Baking, and Sarah Schuldenfrei of Bread from the Earth Bakery. Contest winners will receive gift baskets that include donations from Ploughgate Creamery, Cabot Creamery, King Arthur Flour, Farmer Ground Flour, Nitty Gritty Grains of Vermont, and Singing Cedar Apiaries. The Brattleboro Food Co-op thanks our vibrant local foods community for making this event possible.
