Plan For Monk's Rye Thursdays At St. Anthony's

Buy Trappist-baked bread at the St. Anthony's shrine

Marcia has been driving out to the St. Anthony's shrine near Clarksville to check for the bread baked by Trappist monks in New York.  She was hunting for rye, which they get delivered on Thursdays.  On other days, they have other varieties, but she sent the husband back two weeks ago:

As promised, pictures of the rye bread from the St. Francis shrine in Ellicott City, my husband stopped in [two weeks ago] since they told me they get rye on Thursdays. ($5/loaf)

As you can see, it looks like store-bought sandwich bread. I'd call it soft rye. It is quite good, with a nice rye flavor. I prefer the crunchy crust on Atwater's rye, but they both taste comparable.  Both taste good!! My mom prefers the bread from the shrine.  (Maybe that's good, no fighting!!)

NEAR:  I think the address above is the shrine near Clarksville.  This is just west of Rte 108 and north of Rte 32.  Marcia says it is easy to find the shrine.  On Folly Quarter Rd., go to the back of the property where the chapel is.  The gift shop (where they sell the bread) is in the same building.
