Waldorph is primarily an import/export town, bringing Oranjestad goods into the area and exporting The Vaelthranni Compact products. It's a valuable colony for Oranjestad as a trade post.
Waldorph is also home to the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen, and experimental pastry factory that distributes throughout Oldeshire under a variety of brand names.
Utility Muffin Research Kitchen
The Utility Muffin Research Kitchen is a Waldorph-based experimental pastry factory founded in 1933. It specializes in muffins, breads, and edible glitter.
Founder Dan Sterling opened the Kitchen after studying abroad in New Enderton. When he returned to Waldorph, he volunteered to help a local bakery with its accounting. Dan never lost his love of Enderton breads, and from there came the idea to launch a bakery of his own.
The UMRK is focused on made-from-scratch, hand-crafted breads using the healthiest ingredients including unbleached, unbromated wheat flour. The Kitchen has a 6-ton stone hearth oven that can bake up to 160 loaves at one time, and the oven’s steam injection system gives the breads their distinctive Enterton-style crust. Utility Muffin Research Kitchen products are distributed worldwide, and can be found in stores in 35 locations across the Shire.
