The K9 Bakery
(Second and fourth Sunday of each month)
Hand-crafted natural dog treats
Our mission is simple: to provide the best hand-crafted natural dog treats for our customers at the lowest price possible.
We love dogs and offer fresh and healthy alternatives to commercially available treats that often contain additives, by-products, and preservatives.
Quality is of the highest importance to us and we only use human-grade ingredients, including organics. Our yummie treats are rolled, hand-cut, and slow-baked. For dogs with wheat or corn allergies we offer treats made with rye and rice flours that are generally well tolerated and less likely to provoke an allergic response.
Your four-legged friends will love you for giving them these special treats made with fresh and wholesome ingredients!

Kettle Corn
Kettle Corn, funnel cakes, flavored popcorn
We do kettle corn the same way that our ancestors did it. In the 18th century, after the harvest, rendered fat would be thrown into a cast iron pot sitting over an open fire. When the fat was hot, the farmers would toss in some corn kernels, a little molasses or whatever sweet confection they had, and then watch while the corn popped into a sweet, hot treat. Of course, we no longer use rendered fat, instead corn oil is used; but the method is still the same. The end result is a slightly sweet, slightly salty popcorn that has a taste that is loved by all.

Wood Fired Pizza
Handcrafted artisan pizza made to order on the flatbed of a classic Ford
Wood Fired Pizza is more than a traveling pizza oven. It is an approach to capture a bit of the past and reveal it in a relevant fashion for today's customers. A handmade imported Italian oven sits quietly on the back of a 1956 Ford F250 flatbed and produces true artisan pizza. The dough is hand stretched and lightly tossed to the perfect thin crust and topped with San Marzano tomatoes and a variety of toppings. The mixed burning hardwoods create temperatures over 800 degrees and flavors that can't be copied. The pizzas flash-bake in the wood fired oven and come out with a crispy crust and melty mozzarella in less than two minutes. Even if you are not into cheese or want something special to top your pizza, we are happy to meet your needs.
Chef Matthew Hans has been in the food business for over 10 years and trained with several amazing chefs and has most recently trained with Master Pizziola Francesco Marra. We will soon be offering cooking classes so stay tuned.
You can find Wood Fired Pizza at many local farmers markets topping the pizza with fresh, local, and organic toppings bought that day from the market. Our goal is to use the best ingredients available to produce the finest quality pizza.
Wood Fired Pizza is available for catering any size party, wedding, corporate event, or fund raising challenge. Perfect pizza is our passion, but we are not limited to pizza. Contact us to see if we can meet your needs. Feel free to email me anytime.
