Swannanoa is gearing up for a revival, and local business owner Clark Mitchell believes Ovenbird Kitchen is right in the middle of it all. Mitchell, who hails from New Jersey and has been a Swannanoa resident for 12 years, is excited to be a part of the area’s transformation.
Mitchell expressed his enthusiasm for the energy he sees in Swannanoa, pointing to initiatives like Beacon Village and the influx of new restaurants and businesses. He believes that the time is right for Swannanoa to shine and is thrilled to contribute to the community’s growth.
Before Ovenbird Kitchen, Mitchell and his family ran a successful cracker business, Roots and Branches, which they later sold. The transition to a bakery was a natural progression for them, driven by customer demand and a passion for creating delicious baked goods.
Listening to their customers has been key to Ovenbird Kitchen’s success. Mitchell noted that the bakery’s popularity took him by surprise, but he’s more than happy to meet the demand and provide customers with quality products.
While Ovenbird Kitchen may be small in size, Mitchell is determined to make a big impact. He acknowledges the limitations of a small bakery but remains committed to offering the best possible experience to every customer who walks through the door.
As an entrepreneur at heart, Mitchell thrives on the challenges and rewards of running his own business. He sees Ovenbird Kitchen as a labor of love and is dedicated to playing a part in Swannanoa’s ongoing revitalization.
With high hopes for the future of Swannanoa, Mitchell is eager to see the community continue to grow and thrive. He believes that the area has immense potential and is excited to be a part of its journey.
