There are so many fun things to do in Eugene-Springfield & the surrounding areas, so our family has been enjoying going on adventures around town. Our latest trek brought us to the Camas Country Mill Store & Bakery in Junction City.

Our daughter Emmie has been baking since she was tall enough to stand on a chair at the counter next to her Grandma & me. I grew up learning to bake from my mom & my Yaya, who had a special method to make her dinner rolls so light & delicious. I love that Emmie is into trying different things & experimenting with a variety of baking techniques, so we thought she’d love to see a mill & its’ bakery to explore her baking passion.

The Camas Country Mill Store & Bakery is quaint with various delectable treats. We purchased the Camas Classic Bread Blend, along with a freshly baked loaf of Buttermilk Bread, which is quite possibly the best tasting & textured loaf bread that we have ever eaten. If you love baking, this will be your playground with so many varieties of flours to experiment with.

We arrived very late in the day, so they were sold out of all of their other treats, so a follow-up visit is definitely in the cards for us. With that being said, it is wise to arrive early in the day to get your bakery goods.

Quite possibly the best part of Camas Country Mill Store & Bakery is owners Sue & Tom Hunton (aka Ma & Pa.) They are such lovely people. We enjoyed spending some time with Sue, who gave us a history of the mill & bakery, the adorable school house on the grounds (which originally was built about 2 miles away), how it came to be relocated to their farm & how they’ve gently restored it.

Camas Country Mill & Bakery is a must-visit!
