All Things in Moderation but for Truth, Adventure, and Goodwill. -Alimentaire Motto<\/em><\/h6>\n

This week Noms on the Run is featuring Alimentaire Wholesome Breads, a wholesome and nourishing bakery in my hometown of Tarboro, NC. <\/p>\n

Tarboro’s History<\/h2>\n

Tarboro, the 9th oldest town in the state, is a growing, quaint town in Eastern North Carolina. Sitting 30 minutes from Greenville, NC, home of the ECU Pirates, Tarboro is rich in history. It holds one of two remaining town commons in the nation. It is home to a 45 block historic district (the largest in the state), a Veterans’ Military Museum<\/a>, the Blount Bridgers House<\/a>, North Carolina’s last original cotton press<\/a> and so much more. I don’t mean to brag but we are also home of NFL player Todd Gurley. <\/p>\n

In addition to gaining local dining sensation On the Square<\/a> several years back, Tarboro’s downtown area has also gained a coffee house and Alimentaire, a fresh artisanal bread shop is located at 600 Trade Street. Alimentaire<\/a> , which is French for alimental, means nourishment. This bakery focuses their baked goods on locally sourced ingredients that nourish the body. They strive to educate customers to live healthier lives and a more “resilient future for themselves, one another, and our planet.” Can’t argue with that. <\/p>\n

Owners Steve and Franca Gilbert recognize that all places big and small need baked goods that focus on “nourishment over convenience, flavor over cost, and goodwill over profits.” That’s just love right there. They care about the big picture. <\/p>\n

One of the times I visited, I quietly sat in the corner eating my croissant and drinking coffee. The owners and their family members (or friends perhaps) sat around the long farmhouse like table. Some eating but all chatting with each other about that days events. Good food and quality time with loved ones is what I witnessed. That’s one of the awesome things about Alimentaire. <\/p>\n

The Real Deal<\/h2>\n

Consequently, when you bake with love the product is bound to be awesome. Alimentaire is the real deal bread. This ain’t bunny bread. <\/p>\n

Instead of using preservatives and commercial yeast, they use levain. If you like big baking words like levain, then click here<\/a> to find out more and how its used in their baked goods. <\/p>\n
