Our enthusiasitic members the past two Winter seasons of our share program proved that people in Albany care about supporting local bread artisans dedicated to using pure ingredients and old-school techniques. 

From Barbara C, a member for 2 years: 
"We are very happy with your service and products.  We all like your bread. 
Usually I cannot get our kids to eat anything, but awful, cheap white bread and the fact they are eating yours is a testament to how good it is."

Join the Real Bread Revolution!
Deadline for signup is  December 23, 2012
Don't wait, submit your form & payment in the shop or at the Delmar Market by Nov. 30 and we'll give you a free loaf of bread in thanks for becoming an early member! 


Why Join a Community Supported Bakery? 

We're glad you asked.  For some, the idea of a Community Supported endeavor that involves anything other than farm-direct products might seem foreign, but a quick Google search yields about 30 US CSBs currently in action in just the first 4 pages, with more in the UK and otherwise abroad. When we started our first CSB season in 2010, there were only about 8 in the US, this model is growing! Communty Supported shares that provide much more than produce are gaining in popularity all over the country.  

Here are 5 good reasons to join our CSB.

1) Increased availability of Real Bread (and pastries) in the Capital Region. (Clean, Fresh, Local ingredients free from GMOs, dough conditioners, additives & other lab-produced materials. We use water, salt, high quality flour, and sometimes yeast, organic oils or specialty ingredients. Everything is prepared 
in-house, from-scratch, by us.)

2) Support for NY grain farmers and our risk developing recipes/techniques that respond to the varying protein levels of their wheat. Every membership will utilize about 25 lbs of NY flour. (We buy North Country Farms Stoneground Wheat & White; although NY grain production is up, the purchase of it by regional bakers is still relatively sparse. NY used to be the country's bread basket,  Small, sustainable NY Farmers & Bakers are bringing NY Wheat back.  We could buy more reliable flours from the Midwest, but we choose to honor the farmers who are dedicated to producing wheat again here in the Northeast, our CSB gives you a direct way to support them too.) 
  
3) Discounted, carefully produced loaves & pastries for a fair-trade price.

4) Support the talent of Craft Bakers while developing a personal relationship with us. (As owners, Nick & I are extremely involved in our community and donate loaves/gift certificates/food regularly to worthy local causes that help feed the hungry. We work long hours that require great detail and skill.  Getting to know more people in your neighborhood is never a bad thing and neither is supporting your local food artisans! Everything we do is connected to people, the CSB brings you closer to your food producers.)

5) Help stabilize and inject money into our local-foods economy and reduction of our collective carbon footprint. Our ingredients are typically grown and transported no more than 130 miles from Albany. We are deeply committed to supporting our slow-food producing neighbors.  (North Country Farms is in the Fingerlakes; produce & cheeses are from within 30 miles; only our fair-trade organic sugars, Earth Balance, vanilla, spices, salt, baking powder & soda, Organic oils, NY and Organic flours come from a local/family-owned distributor, Hillcrest Foods in Saratoga or The Honest Weight Food Co-op, Please see our Suppliers Page for more information about our ingredients and philosophy.)
