After 10 years in business,  we are always trying to keep life interesting and creative juices flowing by challenging ourselves in new ways . Last week we unveiled a new line of Signature Sandwiches and expanded some of our breakfast sandwich offerings as well . Local produce and locally made products have inspired our recipes and evolved into additional lunch and breakfast offerings such as the popular Veggie Burger featuring a rotating variety of flavors using  available local ingredients such as Viable Cultures Tempeh locally grown mushrooms, veggies, herbs, pickles and condiments.

Michael names the Homewrecker. Come get yours today!

Many of our regular customers  enjoy  sharing their culinary talents by coming up with new ways to use Bakery-made  ingredients. The new menu will include the Homewrecker” created by West Asheville resident Michael Dickenson—-a mouth-watering combination of  all natural sliced turkey, pimento cheese, bacon, tomato, onion, and provolone cheese. loaded on fresh house-made bread and grilled to perfection.

But don’t worry, the old standby sandwiches will still be available. As a matter of fact some of the Signature Sandwiches are old favorites with a twist – like the Tuna Melt with BACON! So Come see for yourself how a long time West Asheville fixture can continue to reinvent itself thanks to a community rich with local resources and creative ideas!

Meagan Schearer, Dessert Chef Extraordinaire

Meagan Schearer  joined us orginaly back in 2006 bringing her 10 years of restaurant experience to the Bakery family. She initially spent most of her time in the front of the house but then moved into the kitchen. She  is now applying her artistic eye and  incredible attention to detail  to decadent chocolate treats, local fruit confections and all things cake. She is inspired by both the evolution of the community of West Asheville of which she has been a long time resident, as well as the growth  of the local food community and enjoys using the abundance of ingredients we get from farmers to inspire her . Among the staff, she is famous for her made-from-scratch Oreos, (WOW) so dont forget to mention that next time you see her around the neighborhood!

You may remember that last winter we made all kinds of amazing soups, pastries and desserts using the now famous “Neck Pumpkin.”

Well we’re growing another field of Neck Pumpkin on our land in Madison County this summer. We’ll be selling the seed to Sow True Seed Company and using the Pumpkin meat to make our amazing Curried Coconut Pumpkin Soup, and of course, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins!

This Pumpkin is not even close to being full grown! It will grow about 4 times as large by the time it is ready to harvest!
