Vermatzah from Naga Bakehouse follows the journey of our ancestors from the desert to the Green Mountain hills of Vermont! Hand-Made Wood Fired Vermont Grown Eco Kosher (not certified) Seeds included! For the past 5,000 years, matzah was hand shaped, irregular. It wasn’t until modern mechanization in the late 1800’s that matzah became uniform and square with a recognizable pattern. Vermatzah is a return to the past. Vermatzah is eco-kosher, connecting modern ecology with ancient dietary laws and ethical standards about food production, preparation and eating from the Green Mountain State. Vermatzah offers foodies and locavores interested in healthy eating and sustainable agriculture a tasty alternative! Matzah, an ancient round unleavened bread is a symbol of freedom, simplicity and the return of spring – a metaphor for getting back to the basics. Eating sustainably made Vermatzah at your Passover Seder is, in the words of Wendell Berry, “an agricultural act.” It provides inspiration for making the kind of food choices that lead to a more sustainable lifestyle and a healthy working landscape. Matzah is more than a food, it’s the way we relive the Exodus. It’s the only mitzvah we have today that we actually eat. According to ancient traditions, the matzah you eat on the first night of Passover strengthens the faith of the soul, and matzah eaten on the second night heals it. Not all matzah is created equal. Vermatzah is shaped by hand and baked in a wood fired oven specifically for the mitzvah of eating matzah at the Seder just as the matzah was baked by our ancestors as they left Egypt. And, Vermatzah tastes great, baked exclusively with the finest organic grains grown by farmers in Vermont. Vermatzah – Sustenance for the Body-Fuel for the Soul.
