Best of the Eastern Shore!

What's Up Eastern Shore Award Certificate

The polls have closed, the results are in, the people have voted...Evergrain Bread Co., Chestertown...best bread on Maryland's Eastern Shore.  Hurray for us (we already knew that it's the best) and congratulations to Doug, Kelly, David, Michael, Matilda, Stu, Tony and the rest of the crew.  You're the best!

Ye Colonial Bayke Shoppe

Authentic in every detail, Abbey, Sofia, Lindsey and Kelly are dressed in Colonial garb out in front of the bakery.   When I inquired about the authenticity of Abbey's aviator sunglasses, I was told that they were a previously unknown style of glasses invented by Benjamin Franklin.  He called them 'coachman' glasses.  Really???

Rumor has it that Doug has refused to pay the British Flour tax...so Michael  -  with red coats in hot pursuit to impound the illegally baked goods  -  delivers the contraband to the booth where throngs of colonists eagerly await to purchase the bounty of the bakery.

All in all, a day of hard and hot work for everyone at the bakery but, without a doubt, the word continues to grow about our gem of a bakery here in Chestertown.

The Signs They Are A-Changin'

At 7:30 this morning (May 22nd) out went the old sign...it really is official now...Against The Grain has been renamed as  Evergrain Bread Co...

Doug is actually standing on the step that has a label reading, 'do not stand on this step - even if your mother is holding the ladder!'

This is just the beginning of changes to come...my mind swoons as I imagine all the delicacies that the expanded bakery might have...


I've been AWOL for a while, though not from my regular seat early in the mornings at the Bakery.   But now, with change in the air, news to report, progress to chronicle and keeping all of us up to date on the "crew," I hope that there will be more writing...and more tasting!  Stay tuned.
