New Bagel Vendor at Wrightstown Winter Farmers Market
WELCOME NEW VENDOR: Knockout Baking Company
Started back in May 2021, with the idea to bring traditional style bagels to the local community, all made from scratch using the highest quality ingredients, including local grains from Castle Valley Mill in Doylestown, PA. Owner Phil Foster began by making sourdough bread, dropping off loaves to a small circle of friends and family, and soon found he truly enjoyed the process of baking and sharing bread with those around him. What began with bread turned into bagels, and soon rolled over into pretzels, muffins, and other baked goods. This Saturday Phil will be bringing plain, everything, sesame and pretzel bagels, and his pretzel varieties are plain, Buffalo ranch, cinnamon sugar, everything, and honey mustard and onion - yum!
