At Tomblers in Easton, everything is made from scratch, using family recipes. “Our ingredients are the same ones you would use at home,” says Karen Drake, who owns the bakery with her husband, Skip. It all started with Karen’s mother, Margaret, 35 years ago, but the values of the bakery have not changed. “We have a policy that if we would not eat it, we will not sell it,” she says. “We do not use preservatives or flavor enhancers.” While best sellers include seasonal fresh fruit pies, butter cutout cookies, pierogies, shortbread cookies, old-fashioned homemade cookies and shoofly pies, their specialty is pasties—they have nine varieties, along with occasional monthly specials. Shoppers might be surprised to find their exclusive pre-baked “pizza” crust, made with spent grain from Weyerbacher Brewery. Outside the bakery, residents can find Tomblers’ goods at markets and festivals around the Valley, including the Saucon Valley Farmers’ Market, the Easton Farmers’ Market and the Rose Garden Farmers’ Market in Bethlehem.
