Thanks to funding provided by community members and expertise provided by local baker Lauren Bushnell, the Experimental Station has constructed a wood-fired masonry oven that is now up and running. Designed by master oven-builder Alan Scott (California), the brick-clad oven is a beautiful, yet functional element in the Experimental Station kitchen. A wonderful educational resource, the wood-fired masonry oven is the center of community bread bakes that encourage the art of bread baking. Local bread bakers and bread bakers-to-be discover both the satisfaction of baking one's own bread and the pleasures of baking with wood.
