Indy Winter Farmers Market Vendor: Muddy Fork Bakery

Every week during the Indy Winter Farmers Market season, we'll be profiling one of our local vendors! You can find the full list of IWFM vendors and past profiles here.

Muddy Fork Bakery, 4th season at IWFM

Located just north of Bloomington, Muddy Fork Farm & Bakery specializes in small batch, hand mixed and shaped breads baked in wood-fired brick oven and offers a variety of equally impressive baked goods--croissants, granola, pretzels, sweet rolls. They source all of their whole wheat flour, honey and eggs locally. Best of all, they even offer workshops to teach bread lovers their baking secrets, and how to get results in your own kitchen.

What do you love most about IWFM? We love the community of people who put on the market and make it succeed. The team of staff and volunteers are so dedicated and helpful.

What is your most popular item? Our new croissants are flying from the booth. We've been working many months to perfect the recipe and bake a croissant that's flaky and crisp on the outside and delicious and soft on the inside. Look for more sweet and savory fillings in the next month.

What is something most people don't know about you? We offer monthly artisan baking workshops at our brick-oven bakery, where we teach participants how to make great sourdough bread at home. The highlight for many folks is the pizza lunch we share together. Find more details here.

What is your favorite holiday recipe? Cristopsomos, a Greek Christmas bread--light and slightly sweet, with dried fruits and nuts. Those curled Greek crosses are so much fun to make!
