The Roadhouse Cafe was started and is run by Joan Dahl; it is just up the street from the farm and is an award winning breakfast diner and bakery that has a special emphasis on buying as fresh and local as possible (including getting some produce from Stone Soup!).  Because of their attention to nutritional, communal, and environmental needs, the breads are made with all organic flours, and use local and natural ingredients like honey instead of high fructose corn syrup.  Their attention to detail is pretty astonishing, not just in their choice of ingredients and values, but in the final product as well; this is really, really good bread.  If you are ever in the area, we highly recommend stopping there for breakfast, and to prove it they won top awards in the 2007 Valley Advocate for best wait staff, best breakfast, and best Sunday brunch.

So here's the deal with the shares:
The loaves are made from scratch at the Roadhouse and will be baked fresh for the CSA deliveries, and picked up on our way out of Belchertown on Tuesday mornings.  The Roadhouse makes a bunch of different varieties of bread, including wheat, white, sun-dried tomato, onion dill, oatmeal, four seed, cinnamon raisin, banana, and apricot walnut.  There will be a mix of these varieties delivered to each site, and bread share members may pick out the one that is calling to them each pickup.  Like the veggies, the varieties will vary from week to week, and there will not always be every variety.  Bread shares are included with every distribution for the entire 5 months of regular CSA season.

The cost will be $100 per member for the regular 5 month season.  If you'd like to sign up, either send in a check to the farm with bread share in the memo, or else you can just email me and I will add that option to your account and you can pay later.
