July 22

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!

Salomon Farm

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.

Grain to bread

Whole grain with all it's goodness intact.

The grain ground into flour.

Shaped and rising loaves.

The finished product.

Organic vanilla bean in honey. It's great in tea!

Busking

Ben played with the honey bears, pretending they were soldiers, I think.

Getting paid for practicing makes it more fun!

Look at that great posture.

My little busker.
