BreadFest

Do you love eating bread? Do you love baking bread? Does a room full of sourdough loaves, local spreads, and local cheeses sound like a dream come true? Join us for the second annual BreadFest at the Brattleboro Food Co-op on Saturday, March 28th!

We are expanding last year’s successful baking competition and inviting all of our Vermont community and beyond to enjoy a delicious banquet of artisan breads right here in our Brattleboro Food Co-op café. You’ll taste and vote on breads entered into the baking competition, plus breads baked by our Co-op professional bakers. We will be providing cheese, butter, and spreads from local producers to enjoy with these beautiful, artisanal loaves! All are welcome to attend BreadFest - no need to bake a loaf to come celebrate with us, enjoy the smorgasbord, and interact with the delightful Brattleboro and bread communities.

Enter our sourdough competition for a chance to win prizes including a Lodge cast iron dutch oven, Co-op gift cards, and an assortment of local flour and butter. We’ll have adult and youth divisions and the breads will be judged by a panel of professional bakers as well as you, the BreadFest attendees! The judges will be evaluating breads on three equally-weighted qualities: Appearance, Texture, and Flavor/Aroma and prizes will be awarded to both judge’s choice and the community vote winner.

This is a free event and registration is only required if you plan on baking bread for the competition.
