We purchased turnips, chicken thighs, coffee, and salad mix at the Harvest. Looking forward to seeing the store open for regular hours.

How you managed to get this operation up and running in such a short amount of time is just incredible. I'm assuming you were given some leeway on when you actually have to close down the garage operation. Without your enthusiasm, this would seem overwhelming, but you are such a successful problem-solver that you will be able to conquer whatever hurdles come your way. Merry Christmas to you Amanda and the girls. Lets hope for a better year in 2021.

when i was a little boy and we visited my grandparents in new york we would go with my grandmother shopping everyday. she lived in queens and she would push her own little basket from the house up the street about a block and a half. and we would start shopping. the first stop was the grocery store where she bought simple household item, next was the butcher where she bought meat for lunch and diner that day.next was the baker where she bought bread and pasteries. we asked why she went to the store everyday because our mom shopped once aweek. she said my food is always fresh and wholesome and it is better than big chain store food.most of these stores the owners lived above the store so the store was also their home. this was back in the 1960 s. what you and others like you are doing is pulling people away from the big industrial food producers and showing them how food really is and was before factories took over. keep doing what your doing . another thing you are doing you are creating your towns own food supply so when SHT happens your town will be eating when big cities are starving.

I wish the consumer would learn to invest in the pleasure of good food. I believe that people overeat and overindulge because they are seeking the flavors and nutrition that mass production can’t provide.

Just a suggestion regarding produce and everything you sell in the grocery store. You can include a handwritten or minimally designer "How to" part for everything. Like seasonal quick recipes for the breads, using the produce and such kind of things. It'll increase cross - sales inside the store and wouldn't intimidate newbies. Idk what it's about instructions, but even as a kid making a packet of Maggie I used to love reading and following instructions atleast once। Also, buying something new and not using it right would also discourage people from trying. I don't live there nor do I have any idea about the business with respect to the area you're in, but this is what came to my mind whilst you were talking about the produce and the simple recipe the chef made. Just the written version of what you said about sourdough pairing well with produce. Loving every thing you've been doing so far and wishing you well for the future 😊

This is incredible, the speed and the quality of what you're putting out into the world around you is incredible. You spoke a few times in previous videos about the problem consumers have of the illusion of choice, since all the bread choices are owned by the same company... who ends up putting the same chemicals and strange ingredients into all their breads, things we don't want to eat when we are eating bread. The way that happens typically is a small time setup, like yours, come around and begins doing a great job, and gets the attention of a company or store chain, and they offer a large sum of money. Most times, people the the money and end up cutting all ties with what they created and almost immediately the new owners begin looking for ways to cut costs which ofcourse takes away from flavor and quality of the product, in your case, bread. My question to you is, what will your response be if some large company approaches you with a large briefcase filled with cash? Because what you have going here is incredible. NOT ONLY the bread, or your approach and style of speech. But your ideas of what bread and food should be. How it should be nutritious, not only tasty. And ideas can be dangerous.... and excitedly your ideas are on the fence, in the middle, of being dangerous. Because, if more people begin copying you. Not your bread but your approach to communicating with local sources of ingredients, and to being part of the story from the seed being planted to the grain being harvested and ground by stones (BY STONES!!!!!) and placed in a special ration in a bag to be brought to your bakery and used for all your tasty baked goods. I wish you only the best and all the strength you and your team will need for any obstacles that may come your way. Great job to you and your team!

Bread, coffee, wine, chocolate, cheese, beer, tobacco and reading combine perfectly well, think of that!

One day, who knows... 🤷♀️ Ps. : The cocoa tree (cacaueiro) has its origin in Brazil (in the floresta amazônica), my home country, and I have a friend that makes her own chocolate, the hole artisanal process, since she was a little kid! This kind of work and passion inspire me! I just love it! ❤ Great job!!!
