Bread and meat are common fare found along the western fringes of the Virginia frontier. Bread, however, requires certain equipment and technique to produce. Join our bakers as they fire the oven and bake a variety of breads and treats for those seeking rest and refuge within the walls of Joseph Martin’s station.

Rustic loaves of bread from a clay oven rest on a wooden platter ready to be cut.
