Easter Pop-up at Ponsford Bakery!
Ponsford Place
(Bakery and Innovation Center) http://ponsfordsplace.com
This little bakery is close to my neighborhood off a heavily trafficked road. It's on an inconspicuous side street that is still residential. It's unexpected location adds to it's charm. This bakery sells light and flavorful whole wheat and gluten free breads and pastries in the french tradition with a lot of unexpected twists on ingredients and savory fillings such as : Crème of Nettle Mushroom with or WITHOUT Speck and Rancho Gordo Domingo Rojo and Vaquero Beans with Cumin, Shishito Peppers, & Potatoes. The chocolate croissant won me over by the complexity of it's flavor and generosity of dark chocolate, something I have to have quite often!
It's a destination bakery as people come from afar for the Craig Ponsford and sister Elizabeth's baked goods. They use heritage grains that are grown and milled locally along with other ingredients sourced from our local farmer's market. Craig participates an International competitions and has won the Gold medal at Coupe du Monde de la Boulangerie in Paris. I was thrilled when he said yes to a pop-up feeling a kindred sense of working on one's craft. I discovered in one of our brief conversations that we both source from the same grower, Front Porch Farms https://fpfarm.com/ for for some our flour/flowers.
In honor of Easter I came up with rustic Easter tins that included a bouquet and a bag of Ponsford chocolates.
