Yesterday I stopped by King Arthur Flour’s Vermont campus in Norwich, Vermont to pick up some specialty flours for a few bread recipes I want to try out. The goal is to hone in on my bread baking skills before winter sets in so I can get a routine down before the weather turns bad, and I’ll be inside working on my “secret holiday” project 24/7.
If you’ve never been to King Arthur Flour’s Vermont campus in Norwich, Vermont it’s quite a treat. The bakery/cafe is enormous, and a hot spot for locals and bakers alike. The layout and the design of the building is pretty awesome too.
The menu at the cafe is a pretty good size, and serves up a nice assorted fair of soups and sandwiches, salads and of course pastries.
This time around, I ordered the roast turkey, tart apple and smoked gouda sandwich for lunch, and it was delicious. Once I get a good sandwich bread recipe down, I think I’ll be making this sandwich VERY often for lunch.
I also ordered a deep-dark chocolate brownie and a blueberry scone for the next day. Note to self: Look up the brownie recipe and make a double batch and send one batch to Monkey Boy.
Not only is the gift shop filled with specialty flours and baking mixes, but there are a ton of baking supplies, books and as well. And if you need help, there is plenty of staff on hand to help you find the items on your list. {I needed help!} 😉
It was a good trip. I filled my belly and my cart and went home happy. What more could a girl ask for? If you do find yourself planning a trip to the store though, be sure and check the King Arthur Flour events page before you leave because several times a month, they offer discounts on their products. I made sure to go on a day when they were offering 20%. Plus, I hear that if you are shopping at the store on Mother’s day, they are handing out a few box of their chocolate cupcake mix at the registers.
Keep calm and eat one,

You’ve just got to love mothers. Especially ones from the South who can sympathize with getting eaten alive by bugs. After reading about my battles trying to clear the heavily wooded back area of the garden, Mama Hillbilly {Mrs. HB’s mom} decided she needed to make us a set of hats. And boy did she ever do a marvelous job!!!
