Lynchburg is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 75,568. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains along the banks of the James River, Lynchburg is known as the "City of Seven Hills" or "The Hill City." Lynchburg was the only major city in Virginia that did not fall to the Union before the end of the American Civil War. (Wikipedia)

The Lynchburg Community Market is the third oldest farmer's market in the Country, having originally opened in 1783.

This is where Lorraine Bakery is and where I have been welcomed by Petra and Steve who run and own the business.

All their products (all fresh, baked daily with high quality ingredients, care and passion !) are prepared on site and sold from Tuesday to Saturday in the market.

Saturday being THE big day of the week with all the vendors being here.

During the Summer, their delicious products can be found on other markets in the area...

A great experience and my thanks and gratitude, admiration and respect : Merci Petra and Steve, for your trust, everything you shared and explained to me.
