Celebrate National French Bread Day at the Bread Box in Chewelah, Washington. Located at 105 West Main Avenue in Chewelah, Washington. There is plenty of parking alongside the Bread Box. You’ll find plenty of fresh breads, cookies, and other delicious fares inside. All of their products are crafted by Mennonite and Amish. What better way to celebrate National French Bread day than to enjoy a fresh loaf of bread at a top-notch bakery?

Owned by Jeff and Carolyn Schrock, you’re sure to enjoy your visit. Jeff and Carolyn exude the epitome of grace and forgiveness in their testimony regarding a horrific traffic accident that killed all five of their children in 2006. Their daughter Carmen, who sadly passed away in the accident in 2006, survived a cougar attack in 1998 where her mother was able to scare the cougar away, but not before it caused her some severe injuries. Carolyn was pregnant with baby number six at the time of the accident. Jeff was seriously injured and, after a time in the hospital, survived. Out of the ashes came forgiveness and a newly forged friendship that has withstood the test of time.

Today, the bakery stands as a stark reminder to the local community that we can all rise above our tragedies and move forward with life, even in the face of tragedy. Jeff’s health issues again took a turn after his recovery from the car crash, and he had to have heart surgery. Jeff has recovered and is back to work now.

Stepping into the bakery, one is assailed with the aroma of freshly baked goodies, all resplendent of yesteryear. Shelves are neatly aligned with a wide array of fresh goodies, all ready to be consumed or baked into one’s own favorite baked items.

The Bread Box is open the following hours:

Tuesday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm

Wednesday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm

Thursday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm

Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm

Saturday, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm

Phone: 509.935.8950

On any given trip, you’ll find a few of the locals visiting one another and visiting with Jeff or Carolyn.

No trip to Steven’s County, Washington, is complete without a stop in the bakery to say hello and sample some fresh homemade bread. You don’t really need an excuse to stop in and visit the Schrocks at The Bread Box, but if you’re looking for one, National French Bread Day is the best excuse ever! You’ll be glad you took the drive and met these wonderful, gracious people.

One of the most dangerous volcanic hazards in the Cascades is lahars

Lahars are considered one of the most perilous volcanic hazards in the Cascades region. Lahars is an Indonesian word that describes the mudflow or debris field originating from the slopes of volcanoes. Lahar's debris fields may carry a slurry of pyroclastic materials such as rocks, mud, water, and other debris in the flow field. They happen when the ground becomes too soggy because of rain or snow melt, and the ensuing result is a landslide. Smaller debris fields are very common in the Cascade Mountain Range of Washington State, where they are formed when heavy rains and rapid snow melt cause shallow landslides.
