Summer Plans 🗓️

Good morning bread friends!

I hope your day is starting off well. I’m having a wonderful week!

Yesterday was our Pizza with Purpose class at Pasture & Plenty. This was the first pizza class that I’ve done where by the end of the night everyone got to eat their own pizza that they had made by hand. That was really fun!

One of my favorite surprises from the night was that there were a handful of parents there with their kids. This was amazing & so many yummy pizzas were made. I also learned a bunch of little things throughout the process too that I’ll try to take forward to keep improving the process.

Somehow I managed to take zero pictures the whole time… but I’m definitely hoping to do more of those classes eventually 😎🍕

Okay so… the headline of today’s newsletter promises some news for the bakery…

What exactly does this mean?

Starting in June, I won’t be writing every Thursday & then baking every Saturday. Instead you’ll get the occasional email from me on a Thursday that says HEY SURPRISE… WE’RE BAKING THIS WEEKEND - IF YOU WANT TO ORDER SOME BREAD!

Why exactly would I do this?

A few reasons actually:

1. When the kids are out of school I really want to be able to prioritize long weekend activities with them. This is a lot more practical if the family schedule doesn’t need to revolve around the bakery schedule.

2. The summer is historically the slowest time of year for our bakery anyway. (I’ve come to learn that this is somewhat common in the industry)

3. Because my day-job work rhythms are going to be shifting starting in June, and it feels important to give myself space to acclimate to that.*

What does this mean for this week’s bake?

For this week and next week, bread is available for sale as usual. I’ve got plenty of capacity to make a good amount of bread! It’s been a little while since I’ve sold out, but go ahead and stock up on bread. (click here to order)

I’m so grateful to this community and the ability to bake for you all. I’m looking forward to trying this new schedule for the summer while continuing to bake and donate the profits from our bakes.

Reminder that this month, we’re donating 100% of our profits to The Center For Black Excellence and Culture.

See you soon!
Cheers,
Mo

P.S. *I’ll finally share more on my updated work rhythms next week. 👀 I promise!
