Briefly

This stellar Bay Area bakery is hidden on a backcountry road
"Rolling beige hills peppered with dark oak trees paint the horizon as a lone, wispy white cloud drifts leisurely to nowhere. There are more cows and horses than cars on this winding, backcountry Sonoma County road. As it bends around a corner, a white steeple from a former one-room schoolhouse spears the seemingly endless blue sky. Just ahead is an oasis where world-class pastries are sold from a wagon."
"Inside the windowed trailer, a woman with her brown hair in a bun, Harry Potter-like round spectacles and a pink vintage dress carefully places her edible artistic creations on brown and yellow Depression-era plateware. Think apple cider doughnut muffins, speckled with granulated sugar, or a delicata squash tart topped with dollops of goat cheese and bright red pomegranate seeds. This is, possibly, the best bakery in the Bay Area."
"Formerly a roving pop-up around the Bay Area, Blooms End now lives permanently in a custom-built 14.5-by-6.5-foot wagon, which Denham named Neighboring Fields. The name doesn't represent an actual place; it's part of a world that she created, as she's a self-proclaimed world builder. The Livermore native has worked in respected bakeries and restaurants across the Bay Area for the past 12 years."
Rolling beige hills and dark oak trees frame a winding backcountry Sonoma County road where cows and horses outnumber cars. A white steeple from a former one-room schoolhouse rises near a wagon selling world-class pastries. Mary Denham operates Blooms End at Neighboring Fields from a custom-built 14.5-by-6.5-foot wagon parked south of Petaluma. Denham plates pastries on brown and yellow Depression-era plateware and offers items such as apple cider doughnut muffins, delicata squash tarts with goat cheese and pomegranate, poached quince and manchego tarts, and coffee cardamom monkey bread. Denham brings twelve years of Bay Area bakery and restaurant experience and describes the wagon as part of a world she created.
