Acorn Farm
Easy, No-Knead Artisan Breads
Baking fresh bread has never been easier! Mix simple ingredients, then let time and nature take over. With no-knead methods requiring little hands-on time and ultimate timing flexibility, delicious artisan loaves are ready whenever you choose to enjoy them.

IN THIS ISSUE, we're baking fresh bread, hot from the oven. We start with a basic "Your First Loaf of Bread" (in both loaf and baguette form), followed by a classic Olive Bread, and a fabulously nutty Sesame Bread. Get your butter knife ready, delicious aromas and tastes await!
Fresh, Basic, Magic

Join us for our 7th Annual Holiday Open House. We'll enjoy an evening celebrating the season, Paris-style, with special guest chef Brigitte Romero, who will share her culinary talents with us by means of a lovely crepe demonstration! We'll also enjoy some lovely appetizers made by Brigitte, and we'll focus on all of our lovely French cookware: Emile Henry, Le Creuset, Mauviel, and more! Nationally recognized paper artist, Jan Blough, of Fenton, will be here signing her beautiful cut glass & paper silhouette ornaments of the Milford clock, made especially for ACORN FARM. You won't find them anywhere else! She'll also bring along an assortment of her other fine pieces.

 

Save the date----it will be here before you know it! Our open house is always a favorite with our regular customers. We'll have hors d'oeuvres, wine, crepes, and a drawing or two! No registration is required but pencil it in now, before your schedule fills up!
