The Digest
The Farmers Market Trail: The Bakers Dozen Bakeshop 🍩

This week’s journey is taking us to The Bakers Dozen Bakeshop!
What started on July 4, 1988, has grown into a family favorite every Saturday morning!
This family-owned business took old country Polish recipes and brought them to life at the Bakers Shop.
If you’ve been to the Market and haven’t tried a Paczki, Pierogi, or other pastry, then you’re missing out!
What’s Worth Trying:

🍩 Paczki
🍩 Danish
🍩 Kolaczki
📍Where to find in the market: The Baker’s Dozen Bake Shop is located on the Southern side, next to the middle hallway!
P.S. All the treats go fast—get there early for the best selection!
