Harvest reports
The wild sourdough starters in these country boules produce a dense, blistered crust that stays crisp for days. Our restaurant relies entirely on their Friday bake for weekend table bread.
Chef Julian Vance, Hearth & Kettle
Finding properly custard-ripe pawpaws that have dropped naturally from the limb is almost impossible at commercial markets. The fruit here carries pure tropical richness without any astringency.
Elena Rostova, Piedmont Foragers Guild
Three seasons of pruning almond saplings and clearing cane rows gave me practical skills no horticulture book could match. We leave with clay on our boots and still-warm hearth bread in hand.
Marcus Thorne, seasonal work-trade hand
Hearth notes
Breaking into this wood-fired hearth loaf reveals a moist, custard-like open crumb and deep caramelized blister that tastes unmistakably of heritage grain and orchard smoke.
Claire Moreau, sourdough baker & neighbor
