In early 2022, the Wardensville Garden Market’s from-scratch bakery relocated to a new state-of-the-art production kitchen facility on Main Street. With that move came the formulation of the Bakery Living Classroom, staffed by six extremely talented Junior Crew who have begun making some of our much-loved bakery favorites in the last month.
With diligence and determination, the Bakery Junior Crew not only learned to make some of our delicious Breakfast Granola but began producing it for sale in the market on their very first day!
One of the current Bakery Junior Crew members, Brenden, said, “I really enjoy getting to experiment and try different things.”

And there sure will be plenty more to learn in the upcoming months!
Take a peek in those big windows and see what our Bakery Junior Crew is baking up next, OR take a Virtual Tour of our Bakery yourself!

My name is Natalie, I’m one of the original 10 Junior Crew! I currently am completely my M.S in Integrated Marketing Communications at WVU while working for our Marketing Department here at Farms Work Wonders. It has been a full circle of growth for me and I couldn’t recommend this opportunity to local youth, enough!
