Last weekend was one for the books...we sat empty-handed for over half the market hours at all our locations because you guys are so fantastic and you love bread just as much as we do! However, it crushed our hearts to see the disappointment on the faces of all the folks who came over to find us stocked out. Not this time though! We just completed one of our biggest bakes of the season yet to make sure everyone takes a loaf home and I think you'll be happy with the flavor choices on the menu.
The Drunken Hog last week was MIA despite my promises...because it literally was too drunk. We were having so much trouble with the lackluster performance of the dough and frustrated that it just wasn't rising properly. I think I may have been a little heavy-handed on the bourbon there trying to induce as much flavor as possible into the bread that it backfired and negatively affected the wild yeast activity. We've learned from our mistakes, made some adjustments, baked a whole bunch of them and they're looking quite good this week - I can't wait for you to try it!
Accompanying the bacon bread on the menu this weekend will be Roasted Garlic & Cracked Peppercorn, Everything Bagel, JalapeΓ±o Cheddar, Cranberry Walnut, Olive Oil Semolina and our Country White sourdoughs.
Speaking of choices, I have super exciting news to share with you. C&C is coming to Choices Natural Market starting next Wednesday!!! We have been working on making this happen since spring and I'm so thrilled that our bread will now be available on a local grocery store shelf...and the fact that it's not just a grocery store but one which we deeply share core values with makes it even better. Please help support our new partnership, tell your friends and family about it, and give Choices a visit throughout the week if you can't make it out to the farmer's markets!
