Meet one of our Local Loves: Night Kitchen Bakery

By -


Sourdough, croissants and quiche, oh my! Meet Night Kitchen Bakery and Café! Night Kitchen got its name from a children’s storybook, and opened a café in Seaboard Station in Raleigh just over a year ago. Since then, Helen and her team have been providing tasty breads and pastries to the public. The café, open daily, serves up delicious sandwiches, soups, salads and quiches in addition to the bagels and yummy baked goods. 

For Night Kitchen the business depends on the regulars who stop by often for a breakfast bagel or loaf of bread for dinner. “We depend so much on their business and their loyalty is so important to us,” Helen says.
Helen loves the all of the offerings in the café, but her heart is in baking bread. When she opened Night Kitchen, she made sure to get equipment for bulk orders to make wholesale bread orders a reality. From the beginning of the business plan, she saw bread as the cornerstone of her baking, and that’s why The Produce Box has been able to help her find her footing. 

The day of a big delivery begins around 4 am, and between managing the orders and the café, Helen has her work cut out for her. Knowing The Produce Box has her back is a comfort, and makes it easy to introduce the Night Kitchen to bread-lovers all over North Carolina!

The Produce Box is proud to support Night Kitchen Bakery and we love being able to offer our members a variety of baked goods in addition to the local fruits and vegetables you love! Look for Night Kitchen’s delicious breads on our menu THIS WEEK and add it to your Box!

The Produce Box vs. The Produce Aisle

If you’re trying to decide if a Produce Box membership is for you, you may be wondering, “Can’t I get this stuff at the grocery store? And is it cheaper there?” Well, the answer to both those questions would be sometimes. The grocery store doesn’t always have everything the farmers of North Carolina can offer.  And sometimes, you may not like the reasons WHY the grocery store is cheaper. Farmers make pennies per pound from the grocery stores, and they often have to wait 30-60 days (or MORE!) to get their payment. At The Produce Box, we pay every single one of our farmers when they deliver the food to us.  In addition to this, the produce at the grocery stores often comes from across the country (1500 miles on average!) or even other countries, and has traveled for days or weeks to get to you -- it's definitely not the most fresh choice or LOCAL by any means! Keep in mind, too, that by buying from us, you’re also supporting their effort to DO GOOD in our communit...

Guest post from our friend (and member!) Kate at  Life of A Ginger This week my Produce Box delivery contained Cara Cara Red Flesh Navel Oranges (our favorite variety), Mixed-Organic Salad Greens,   Joyce Farms Naked Chicken  Breast Tenders, zucchini, yellow squash, vine ripe tomatoes, and avocados. Plus, two small bags of my all time FAVORITE chips, made right here in North Carolina,  Carolina Kettle Cozumel Jalapeno Queso Kettle Chips .  They are so good I have to lock them away from my husband and kids! (Want to join The Produce Box? Click here and then read on!) My family and I have been on a real health-kick the past few weeks (except for my small Carolina Kettle chip habit). I’ve been replacing a lot of carbs like pasta and rice for steamed or roasted vegetables. We have been eating a lot more vegetable-laden salads, and cutting out items like juice, sugary cereal, and desserts. But I’ve been avoiding cooking a family favorite, Te...
