Winter bread orders

The Farmer's market season is quickly coming to a close. October 14 is the last date for the Salomon Farm Organic Market. For those of you who have been asking about how to get bread in the winter, I am going to continue selling by order only. You will need to pre-order bread, either weekly or monthly. It looks like Wednesday is the day preferred by the CSA members who buy bread when they pick up their CSA's. Pick-ups for bread and honey will be made at my house at this point, although there is some talk of one CSA person picking up the entire lot and transporting it to the CSA pick-up site.
Many of you have asked about focaccia in the winter. Unfortunately, the best feta-pesto focaccia is made fresh and is seasonal. Roasted red-pepper will still be available, yum!!
Organic Vanilla-Raisin, Spelt and Organic Honey Whole Wheat breads are available year round. Fall favorites include Pumpkin Swirl and Garlic Parmesean. Send me an e-mail and we can discuss ordering and varieties. eicher10@verizon.net, just make sure to put bread or farm market in the subject line so I don't delete you!!

Schedule

This week the organic whole wheat and honey bread will also be available at the General Store in Grabill during Grabill Days!

I will not be at market this week. I will be watching my boys show their goats at the 4-H fair. They have a 6:00 pm show.

July 15 - Salomon

I arrived with over 60# of honey and 81 loaves of bread. I managed to sell everything except two orders that I was holding for people, who never showed up to get them. One was pre-paid!! Hopefully, they will call today. If they don't, we will just have to eat it.

Rain

I went to the Auburn Farmer's Market this morning. By 8:00am, I was in the midst of a terrific thunderstorm!! We need the rain so I shouldn't complain. Now it's 10:00am and the rain has stopped. Do I go back and set up for another hour or do I stay home and unload? This is my conundrum.

Another amazingly busy, successful night at Salomon Farm Organic Market!

Wow!! I sold 45 loaves in 44 minutes this past Wednesday!! This is a new record for me. I am wondering how much bread will be enough. If I had baked 50 loaves would I have leftovers? How about 70 loaves? How early should I get up and start baking?
Praising the Lord that I have a market for bread. He always increases bread and honey sales when Allan's construction work slows down! Why are we suprised?
"I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread."Psalm 37:24-26
This is my mantra, if you will, in tough times. This is the key to the success of the bakery.
