Greetings Friends!
Opening our new shop has been a whirlwind experience and with the Saturday Delmar Farmer Market starting up tomorrow, we expect more of the same! We are very happily ensconced in our new home at 540 Delaware Ave. and we are so grateful for the outpouring of support and encouragement we've received from all of you. Thank you. We've got some exciting new happenings for the summer to announce!
Phish Always Wins
("THE Summer Tour")
("THE Summer Tour")
Anyone who knows Nick personally is aware he busts his you-know-what all year long, reserving his time off and limited "fun money" for just a few nights a year to see Phish in nearby cities. He works 12-16 hours a day, 6 days a week and very much deserves this time to nourish his well-being! Our Sous Chef, Lauren Ciaglo, will be filling in for him by baking our loaves while Nick takes his short walkabouts this summer.
"AGB Summer Vendor Tour"
We'll visit six of our local, sustainable suppliers this summer and write up a blog post, with photos and details about production for each, on From Scratch Club! We look forward to helping you get to know our (and YOUR) local food producers! We've updated our suppliers list to show all of the individual vendors with whom we are now working.
On our list to profile this summer:

You heard it here first, we are going to start opening earlier during the week! And serving egg sandwiches, as has often been requested. We realized we are missing weekday morning drive-by traffic and the opportunity to provide a hot breakfast for those of you who travel Delaware Ave. on your way to work. We also realize we need to work on being open later (at least some nights) and have plans to do so as soon as we are able. Trust the wheels are turning! We'll keep you posted on when the new menu/hours will begin.
We hope you'll visit us through the summer and get involved in the activities we have planned. We aim to be a good-food-community-hub. I think we're on our way!
