Elizabeth Degener believes it was fate.
Known as the Cape May Bread Lady, she didn’t search far and wide for her bread-baking gift. It found her.
Degener has been baking bread in a wood-burning clay oven at her family’s Enfin Farm in Cape May for 12 years now. She learned to bake bread while living and working on a farm overseas and it stayed with her.
“I went to school in Ireland and during my summers, I would just work on farms and they provide housing and food and you learn trades of the farm,” she said. “There was a clay oven on one of the farms in Germany that I lived on and I learned there.”
