Hello happy campers!
Boy, last week was quite a week! Saving a bakery is hard work. 😵 We'd love to share some good news with you!
In our previous blog, we shared that our partner bakery abruptly shut down a week and half ago. Things were made extra tough by receiving no advanced notice.
With no way to bake our bread, we found ourselves in a real pickle. (not the tasty dill kind unfortunately) 🤕🥒
But our call for help was answered! Thank goodness for truly amazing colleagues, who have generously taken us in to bake our products until we find our forever bakery home!
💓💓💓
Here’s what we accomplished just last week:
Moved all ingredients and equipment to new bakery location
Had successful test bake on Friday 23rd
Started re-assembling equipment and planning for production
Timelines are a bit difficult to estimate now, but here’s our best guess:
We should be able to resume Easy Peasy Flour Mix production within 2 weeks (by 7/7/2023). Update: Easy Peasy is now available as of 6/29/2023!
We should be able to resume baking of 1 or 2 flavors and start shipping orders the week of 7/17/2023. But quality is our top priority, so we will only re-activate our online store once bread quality is guaranteed. Update: online orders are back up and we're shipping as of 7/21/2023!
Here are some photos from the all-hands-on-deck special operation we had going last week!
We moved 2 truckloads of ingredients, materials and equipment. The whole family was called in. Below, Lacy and Jan are helped by Lacy's dad John and our brother-in-law Ben.
As usual, Lacy insisted on being the muscle of the operation...
First test batch comes out of the oven on Friday 6/23/2023, looking great!
Working hard... or hardly working? 🤔😆
