I was lucky enough to get regular weekly bread deliveries from Box Turtle Bakery for awhile there…read more I happened to be on Abraham's weekly route, so it worked out. Now I'll have to actually venture out to Carrboro's Farmer's Market or South Estes Farmer's Market to get his home baked breads and treats. And when I say home baked, I mean literally baked in the special custom designed wood burning bread baking oven attached to the home bakery in his house. Abraham's philosophy is to work closely with local farmers and use fresh milled organic and local grains for his breads and other baked goods where ever possible. Of course, he sells locally too. If you can't get to him at the farmer's markets, you can always work out a time to pick up your order at the Bakery itself. What can I say? You have to work for it a bit, but it sure is worth it. Oh, and just to trip you up, expect some variety! Abraham likes to try new and different recipes and there's something interesting to sink your teeth into and wake up your taste buds just about every week. Disclaimer: I count Abraham as a friend so, yes, I'm pretty excited about what he's doing. But, come on... this isn't some spongy boring white bread with dubious nutritional value we're talking about. This is SERIOUS BREAD! Don't even tell me your mouth isn't watering right now. Mine sure is!

As a regular patron the past 4 months of this fine local bakery, once or twice weekly at my…read moreCarrboro farmers' market, I have come to rely on Box Turtle for my regular breads and the occasional English muffin. Abraham has been kind enough to cut me a half loaf when I don't want a whole loaf that I might not finish by my next visit, and lately I have been favoring his plain spelt bread which has a sturdy flavor that is perfect for my open face lunch sandwiches. Today though I was looking for tortillas to use up some leftover chicken with and was delighted to find a packet of six, also made from spelt, at his stand, they can be frozen for future use. The spelt tortilla I steamed tonight had an earthy texture and a richness that beats just about any of the usual corn or flour ones from your typical Mexican eatery. Chapelboro residents are lucky to have Box Turtle in the community.

I'll come again to try other pastries but will not be getting the eclair again.
