Baking Classes on Summer Vacation

Turtle Bread's baking classes are taking a hiatus this summer!  Beginning Sunday, May 23, you'll find our head baker and class instructor, Solveig Tofte, selling breads and other baked goods at the Kingfield Farmers Market under her side project, Sun Street Breads ("Sun Street" is a direct translation of Solveig - Sol = sun, Veig = street).

Visit her there through October and take home some of her artisan breads, tasty pastries and even a few cookies!

Solveig's baking classes will be back in action in November.  If you want to ensure that you're among the first to hear about class offerings, e-mail Dina Carpenter and request to be added to our Baking Class Newsletter list.


Comments and photos from the Basics of Bread class:

“I just began baking at home, and this class really expanded my repertoire.”

“Solveig explained everything from what to look for when purchasing flour to how to kneed and shape a bread loaf.”

“The class size was perfect. Solveig had an opportunity to speak with everyone, which helped make me feel confident that I can take what we did in class to my kitchen at home.”


Ever wonder...

Where Turtle Bread got its start, how the bakery has grown over the years, or who is behind the breads, pastries and other baked goods featured in our stores?

The feature article in the February issue of Modern Baking answers these questions and more with an inside look at Turtle Bread - past, present and future.
