<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Wednesday and Thursdays during summer have been traditionally less busy at the shop. We suspect it has to do with the abundance of food trucks downtown, warm weather and soft grass on which to cop a squat (not to mention not having to drive for lunch). We get it, we'd do the same if we worked downtown and have love for our fellow food entrepreneurs! During winter, it seems we get a lot more downtown business. Plus, everyone we know is patronizing one of the fabulous farmers markets or CSAs available in our area, which means you're all eating more fresh food - how could we scoff at that? We're adjusting to changing market conditions while trying to capitalize on the higher demand for wholesale that has been coming our way, and focusing on adding additional requested products. Personally, these hours work better for our family in summer - we all get up and go to bed a little later. We're hoping it'll work out to be a win all around.</span><br />

call them at <a href="http://www.allgoodbakers.weebly.com/" target="_blank">All Good Bakers</a>, Energy Treats. Tasty goodness, compacted for

bulk. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Volunteers, interns or new
employees have, in the past, always been inducted into the AGB kitchen with the
task of preparing “The Balls” (no other term came as quickly to the brain or lips
when referring to these perfect representatives of tasty pleasure and repeated-preparation-pain).
Carpal Tunnel is in one’s future (nee, our reality) if one makes a lot of them,
day after day, year after year. We’ve tried pounding the mixture into sheet
pans (and other methods) but the mixture just doesn’t stick together properly
unless you follow the instructions below. There is no simplification of the
process for making them…that we can think of anyway. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We’ve decided to stop preparing
The Balls recently (after 3 years). Here’s why: Some ingredient prices have
gone up (all are fairly expensive) and we’d have to charge more than people have said they would be
willing to pay to make preparing them profitable. Honestly, we need to devote
our prep time to other items, as well as preserve our most treasured, skillful
limbs as bakers - our hands, wrists and arms - for long-term posterity (and
sanity).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Energy Treat fans needn’t despair, because
we’re giving away the recipe! These vegan, gluten-free balls-o-goodness are
easy to make in small batches on an occasional basis. However, be careful with
whom you share your efforts because everyone in your circle will soon become
addicted, and you’ll likely find yourself where we are…icing our wrists
& elbows on the sofa every evening to decrease swelling. Feel free to share
this recipe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Kids and adults enjoy these tasty, nutritious treats
during sports breaks, packed in lunches, for an afternoon snack when you hit the
bricks at work, and they’re not too sweet for a quick breakfast if you’re in a
hurry. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here’s our recipe, which
can be adapted with all manner of substitutions – from different nut or seed
butters, dried fruits, and other grains or sweet components. These are the
ingredients we use – the quality of the ones you choose will make a big
difference in texture and taste, so we don’t recommend skimping on “big box
store” ingredients. All of these ingredients can be found at our local Co-Op

out onto a parchment-covered sheet pan/cookie sheet. Dunk, scoop & tap
until all of the mixture is transferred (don’t allow the cup to become <i>too</i> wet, that will moisten the cereal
too much so that it becomes distastefully soggy; a dunk in the water every 2nd
or 3<sup>rd</sup> scoop works well enough to prevent sticking. The parchment
lining soaks up excess moisture on the bottom of the ball, preventing further
soggy-ness). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

lightly and refrigerate for an hour or so, till they firm up (layer parchment

for up to a week, or frozen if wrapped up tight, to be meted out when needed.

When you get a baked good on the go or come in for lunch, a very large portion of your dollars is going directly toward the following initiatives. Making our shop a regular stop in your schedule (and encouraging friends & family to come in) is the best way to ensure we can continue to implement these and other forward thinking strategies that contribute to the sustainable longevity of our community. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;">Here are some ways we are committed to being a Socially Responsible Company and additional ideas we'd like to implement in the future.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 20px;"> </span><br />

WE PAY A FAIR-TRADE PRICE FOR CLEAN, LOCAL INGREDIENTS AND HELP PROMOTE OUR PARTNERS: We pay our local farming and other small-food producing partners a fair-trade price for their sustainable goods and help bring their stories to our wider community. We have formed long-term relationships with over 20 responsible, local suppliers (most from within a 30 mile radius of Albany) and help promote them tirelessly through <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AllGoodBakers" target="_blank">social media efforts</a>, farm tours, <a href="http://fromscratchclub.com/author/allgoodbakers/" target="_blank">blog posts</a>, in-store, and word of mouth marketing. Because we source the majority (about 90% 3 seasons, a bit less in winter) of our ingredients from local sources as deeply committed to sustainability as we are, our carbon footprint is greatly reduced. More than four times the money you spend at AGB gets reinvested locally into our community, helping us all prosper. More than any other practice, we believe this in particular has the most beneficial impact on a broad range of local people, places and our environment. </span></span><br />

We personally know our farmers and have expended large blocks of time, energy & resources to seek them out and ask appropriate questions to ensure they don't use gmo seeds or spray pesticides (they use fish emulsion & kelp, and other natural methods like rigorous crop rotation to deter pests). Our chocolate, sugars & coffee are fair trade organic; our cheeses, butter & milks do not contain GMOs, hormones or antibiotics, animals are pastured locally & treated humanely with respect, and the milks are low-heat pasteurized; our eggs come from several small local farms (and one backyard!) that allow chickens to roam, and their diet is supplemented with only gmo-free organic feed; our stoneground whole white & whole wheat NY flours and organic rye & hi-gluten flours milled in NY are GMO free. We prepare almost everything in-house, from-scratch, even our mayo and </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;">in-season </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;">jams; we never use dyes, preservatives, lab produced additives, artificial dough conditioners or unnatural, un-clean ingredients. We are transparent about EVERYTHING we serve, and are happy to answer any questions you may have about our ingredients at anytime. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;">We do the legwork for you. With us, you can dine out with the confidence that ALL of our ingredients have been raised/grown ethically and responsibly. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;">We are morally opposed to Greenwashing. We would soon like to add comprehensive ingredients lists to our website. Providing nutrition information would be great, but it's unlikely we will be able to afford having clinical tests done on our menu items in the near future. </span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">2. WE PAY MORE THAN MINIMUM WAGE: We pay our 2 part time employees as close to a living wage as we can afford (significantly more than minimum wage). We think this is important for many reasons. A full time worker making minimum wage is <a href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/religion/news/2013/02/20/53929/working-full-time-and-still-poor/" target="_blank">still below the poverty line</a>, we could not in good conscience offer only the bare minimum. As a micro-business, we depend heavily on our staff to complete any and every job that needs to be done in the shop. Our staff pulls their weight in gold and we all collaborate. After spending 9 years doing absolutely everything ourselves baking for farmers markets and opening our shop on Quail St., we couldn't be more grateful for our competent, qualified staff who always go over and above our expectations. We pay ourselves, as owners, the same hourly rate as our employees (based on a 40 hour work week, even though we put in way more hours than that - we ourselves are living below the poverty line right now). In coming years, we would like to be able to afford to give our employees raises, health benefits, more responsibility, and hire additional qualified community members who are paid a living wage, offered health benefits and a meaningful, happy, community-minded place to work. Your frequent visits help us live up to these ideals. This video on income inequality in the United States is compelling: </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QPKKQnijnsM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QPKKQnijnsM</a></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;">3. AFFORDABLE PRICES: Clean, local foods don't belong exclusively on high-priced menus. Nick creates an inventive, seasonal menu based on the fresh ingredients we get from our farmers & other local producers every week, and we set our prices in the same general range of other local cafes. Yes, profit is important, but as long as we can meet our own basic needs, we don't need to make giant profits. Everyone deserves access to affordable, whole, clean, local foods. We are considering adding a small amount of sustainable, local meats and/or fish to our menu in order to reach a broader spectrum of potential customers, while still retaining our farm-to-table ethos. Our menu would remain primarily vegan/vegetarian, but with sustainable local meat-based substitutions available and perhaps 2-4 main meat-based main menu items. We are currently gathering opinions on this topic, please give us yours.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">4. COMMUNITY DONATIONS: We donated more than $2000 in 2012 in the form of gift certificates, bread/baked goods/food and time to local </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;">projects for</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;"> schools, art, AIDS, hunger abatement, non-profits, and community gardens. That may not seem like a lot, but for us as a very small mom & pop, it is! Everyone who has asked us to donate is a member of our community with a worthy cause, how could we say no? We've lived in Albany for 10 years now (Nick grew up in Clifton Park, Britin is a NC transplant). We consider everyone who visits our shop a friend and member of our close-knit community. We have often been on the receiving end of generosity and kindness from many people here in the Capital Region, it really means a lot to us to be in a position to repay/pay-it-forward when we are asked to and able. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;">We hope to increase our donations to worthy local organizations considerably every year.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;"> We would like to get involved in promoting healthy food in local schools.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: medium; line-height: 20px;">5. WE TAKE MAJOR STEPS TO LIMIT FOOD, PACKAGING, TRASH AND ENERGY WASTE: We re-purpose or compost all of our food scraps and coffee grinds with <a href="http://radixcenter.org/" target="_blank">The Radix Center of Albany</a> (the first and only company in Albany so far to do so). We recycle aggressively. We wrap our loaves in biodegradable unbleached parchment, serve our to go items in compostable clamshells, use real plates/silver/mason jars instead of plastic, and encourage our customers to bring their own to go coffee mugs. We use environmentally safe cleaners and take steps to reduce our water/energy usage. We would like to become members of the <a href="http://www.dinegreen.com/" target="_blank">Green Restaurant Association</a> (a 3rd party certifier) and take additional steps to reduce our waste, and water/energy consumption. Although we abhor providing one-use packaging, we soon will add recyclable/recycled material to go cups for coffee (due to customer demand), but will continue to provide reusable mason jars for soups to go.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">6. <a href="http://allgoodbakers.weebly.com/our-co-op-kitchen.html" target="_blank">OUR CO-OP KITCHEN</a>: We rent our kitchen to other food entrepreneurs growing out of their home spaces. We help them order bulk goods, offer an affordable rental rate (often bartering), help publicize their businesses, connect them with wholesale/retail contacts, and offer our knowledge of the permitting/city regulatory process. We are currently incubating three women owned businesses (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/threesmiles?fref=ts" target="_blank">Three Smiles Kitchen Seitan</a> and <a href="http://nudgebakingco.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Nudge Baking Co</a>., <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kateskakesny?fref=ts" target="_blank">Kate's Kakes</a> is on hiatus till May). This idea was borne from the fact that we couldn't find a space to rent hourly when we started our first <a href="http://allgoodbakers.weebly.com/2013-community-supported-bakery-shares.html" target="_blank">Community Supported Bakery Program</a> in 2010, and with a young daughter who needs family time in the evenings, we aren't able to use the shop around the clock. There is virtually no hourly kitchen space for rent in Albany for food entrepreneurs, we feel this is a valuable service to provide to our community. If you're looking to start or expand your own sustainable craft food business, give us a call to take a look at our kitchen! We still have available time on the books. Our current partners are thriving.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">In closing, we give a lot of thought to every little aspect of our little business: the impact our decisions have on everyone with whom we come into contact, the resources we use as they relate to our self-imposed environmental and social responsibilities, balancing family/off-time with work for us and our employees, and contributing in a positive way to our immediate community and the world at large. There's a lot more we'd like to do.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're glad you asked. </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For some, the idea of a Community Supported endeavor that involves anything other than farm-direct products might seem foreign, but a quick <a href="http://search.babylon.com/?q=community+supported+bakery&s=web&as=0&rlz=0&babsrc=SP_ss" target="_blank">Google search </a>yields about 30 US CSBs </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">currently </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 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. </span><b style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </b><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong>Greetings Friends!</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Opening our new shop has been a whirlwind experience and with the <a href="http://www.delmarmarket.org/" target="_blank">Saturday Delmar Farmer Market</a> 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. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We've got some exciting new happenings for the summer to announce!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;"><strong>Phish Always Wins </strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Trebuchet MS; font-size: large;"><strong><u>("THE Summer Tour")</u></strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><span style="color: black;">Anyone who knows Nick personally is aware he busts his you-know-what all year long, </span>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! </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Our Sous Chef, Lauren Ciaglo, will be filling in for him by baking our loaves while Nick takes his short walkabouts this summer.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><u><strong>"AGB Summer Vendor Tour"</strong></u></span></div>

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.</span><br />

So many people have helped us get here, not the least of which is the <a href="http://www.mycommunityloanfund.org/">Community Loan Fund of the Capital Region</a>, who helped us shape our business plan and funded our move. We are indebted to everyone who has supported us in a myriad of ways as we have approached this stage of growth. We are coming off the adreneline rush of having accomplished everything required to get the new shop open, and we are ready to begin baking again!<br />
<br />
Our regular hours will be Wed-Fri 8am - 3pm and Sat-Sun 9am - 3pm. We've hired two friendly, wonderfully capable people to give us a hand (Liz for front of the house, formerly at Mezzo Marketplace and Lauren who recently graduated from the Culinary Institute as Nick's Sous Chef). Liz and Lauren share our passion for fresh, local, sustainable foods and we are confident they will be very valuable first additions to our work family. Please give them a warm welcome them when you visit!<br />
<br />
Our new retail area accommodates 10 seats inside and we'll be adding at least two patio tables outside to start. Nick has created an a-la-carte lunch menu of Six Seasonal Sandwiches (3 grilled cheeses for $5.00 and 3 vegan/vegetarian for $5.50/$6.00) that will also include seasonally-based soup and salads ($2.50-$5). We are sourcing biodegradable, compostable packaging for lunches to go and should get our first shipment within a couple of weeks (till then our ability to package soups and salad to go will be limited). Parking is available in our lot or on the street, we are in the same building as <a href="http://www.theyogaloft.net/">The Yoga Loft</a>, next to <a href="http://www.minglealbany.com/">Mingle</a>.<br />

Our Muffins & Scone varieties will continue to change depending on what's available from our farmers, and we will prepare our Bialys, Cinnamon Buns, Energy Treats and Tartlets daily. Nick will prepare his Soft Pretzels as time allows and our Saturday & Sunday Brunch menu will consist of Croissants (Traditional and Pan Au Chocolat), Quiche with local/seasonal ingredients and our own crust, Savory Bread Pudding, Savory & Sweet Philmores (stuffed croissant dough), likely French Toast and Pancakes, and specialty sides like Seitan Hash (as time goes on, we'll also offer a few other specials Nick has up his sleeve). We'll continue using hyper-local, responsibly sourced ingredients as often as humanly possible and making our own butter every week (hopefully adding biscuits soon - we need to use up that buttermilk on something besides scones!).<br />

<br />
Everything we serve will continue to be made fresh, from scratch. And of course, THERE WILL BE BREAD, all of which Nick will prepare himself! We intend to offer daily: Hearty Multigrain, Honey Whole Wheat, Rye (with molasses & caraway), Ciabatta, Country French Sourdough and a Specialty Loaf that we call a "Baker's Pick", which Nick will change up based on inspiration and inclination. <br />

<br />
For Beverages, we'll serve regular and decaf fair-trade, organic coffee from Hudson River Coffee House, a small variety of teas, local apple cider and our own fruit waters. We've also added a light weekday breakfast menu of toast and butter/jam/peanut butter, bialys with cream cheese and a kid's menu of a few sandwiches.<br />

Travis from <a href="http://www.organicagardensupply.com/">Organica</a> (an organic growing supplies shop on Delaware Ave., next to Ultra Violet) is setting us up with a hydroponic garden in our kitchen (visible from our sidewalk window, take a peek!) where we will grow organic and heirloom herbs and a variety of lettuces, right on the premesis! We're pretty sure no other restaurant in Albany has a hydroponic garden - Travis will be helping us maintain it and he can help you too if you'd like an indoor setup. It's fun growing food, if you haven't tried it we recommend it.<br />

<br />
We will continue to rent to other small food producers looking to get a leg up. Katherine Hunter from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/threesmiles">Three Smiles Kitchen</a> will be preparing her new Seitan for us and for the <a href="http://www.delmarmarket.org/">Saturday Delmar Farmers Market</a>. <a href="http://www.gatherersgranola.com/">Gatherer's Granola</a> is still with us for a little while while their new production space is readied, and there are a one or two other producers we're in talks with.<br />
<br />
Over the next couple of weeks, we will get our staff and organizational processes up to speed and soon after, we'll have a big Grand Opening Party, including a ribbon cutting with the Community Loan Fund! Our street signage should be complete by then and we'll hopefully work out any kinks in operations quickly.<br />
<br />
We look forward to seeing you for opening week, starting this Wednesday at 8am! Time to make the butter!<br />

<br />
(Britin here.) We haven't kept up with the blog as much as we would have liked this season, but the lack of time to dedicate to this forum was thankfully filled with an incredible year of growth for AGB. Opening our shop on Quail St. has widened our audience significantly, especially due to Nick's ability to transform simple, fresh (local) ingredients into incredible lunch fare. Everyone who has visited the shop has been very welcoming and enthusiastic, for which we couldn't be more grateful. We've gotten to know a lot of regulars this year - one of my personal favorite aspects of our "job" (it's hard to call it that- we are both really enjoying living the dream).<br />
<br />
We've also made much deeper connections with our neighboring farmers and other small food-producing suppliers (<a href="http://farmerjonsny.blogspot.com/">Farmer Jon's Produce</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000592119090#!/pages/Mountain-Winds-Farm/115343745145732">Mountain Winds Maple Farm</a>, <a href="http://ncfarms.net/">North Country Farms Flour</a>, <a href="http://www.buyingreene.com/businesses/236/36/detail/Bulich's-Creekside-Farm">Bulich Mushroom Farm</a>, <a href="http://www.cdcg.org/">Capital District Community Gardens</a>, <a href="http://www.ourdailyeats.com/">Our Daily Eats</a>, <a href="http://blog.timesunion.com/eatlocal/meadow-brook-farms-milk/168/">Meadowbrook Dairy</a>, among others); groups dedicated to promoting Real Local Food like the <a href="http://www.chefsconsortium.com/">Chef's Consortium of the Hudson Valley</a>, <a href="http://www.fromscratchclub.com/">From Scratch Club</a> and the <a href="http://www.delmarmarket.org/">Saturday Delmar Farmers Market</a>; local food bloggers Steve Barnes (<a href="http://blog.timesunion.com/tablehopping/">Table Hopping</a>), Daniel B. over at <a href="http://fussylittleblog.com/">Fussy Litte Blog</a>, Greg & Mary at <a href="http://www.alloveralbany.com/">All Over Albany</a>, and Christina D. at <a href="http://www.fromscratchclub.com/">FSC</a>. It has truly been an incredible year for us and it was all capped off with Nick being chosen as a Rising Star Chef with the <a href="http://www.albanywinefest.com/">Albany Wine and Dine for the Arts Festival</a> (happening this weekend)! Major Woot!<br />
<br />
When we began renting our kitchen on Quail in November 2010, it was for the sole purpose of executing our first Community Supported Bakery season. We didn't intend to open up for retail, but when our landlord (Mark Guido of <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/guidos-frozen-desserts-albany">Guido's Frozen Desserts</a>) said, "You're paying all of the overhead, the lights are on - why not open?", we started thinking seriously about it. Nick and I have worked in restaurants since we were both 15 years old, and met while working in one in '03. Virtually since that day, we started talking about what we would do if we opened our own place. Guido's suggestion rang in our heads all that winter and we took the plunge in April of this year.<br />
<br />
Most people in the Pine Hills neighborhood & surrounding Albany have welcomed us with open arms. Business owners, families, neighborhood associations, organizers, beat cops - <em>all</em> of our customers have all been wonderful to get to know and we are grateful for the opportunty to do so. We have participated in every way we can to be good neighbors, highlight the great aspects of the neighborhood and to be advocates for changing what needs improvement. Unfortunately, limited parking, street trash, vandalism and sporadic violence plague the Education District. Although some issues are being addressed, we reluctantly accept that meaningful change is likely to be a long time coming.<br />
<br />
By late October, the reality started to sink in that our location on Quail St. just isn't the ideal venue for what we do, and we began entertaining the thought of moving the shop. One major reason is that our rent increased in December. We knew it would happen, we just didn't realize by how much and there's only so much we can produce fresh in our tiny kitchen in order to support the extra overhead. Gatherer's Granola has continued to rent from us three days per week, and has been putting out an enormous amount of granola to local farmers markets and co-ops. They are growing, too, and are looking for a larger production space.<br />

We started working with the <a href="http://www.mycommunityloanfund.org/">Community Loan Fund of the Capital Region</a> and contemplated a few spots for a new building. The one that has been calling our names for years, 540 Delaware Avenue, was vacant, and offered a multitude of improvements: Three times the square footage, 10 parking spaces, a slightly larger retail area, reasonable rent, fully-installed fire-suppression system (with fans and hood - a huge expense!), better quality finishes, on a main thoroughfare, accessible to our Delmar customers (but still in Albany) and we could walk to work in good weather! Just last week, we closed on a modest loan with the great folks over at the CLF (big thanks to Lissa, Joe, Walt and the Board!), and LAST NIGHT we signed the lease on 540 Delware Ave.! We've lived in the DelSo neighborhood since moving here in 2003 - having our bakery here will be an absolute dream come true for us. We'll start acquiring equipment and navigating the city permitting process next week. We're hoping to open sometime between mid-February and mid-March, and will operate on Quail St. until then.<br />
<br />
We'll be open 5 days per week, add more lunch and breakfast options, hire two staff members, increase our loaf varieties & share programs, and hopefully grow some of our own produce in a kitchen garden out back. We'll continue to use primarily local suppliers, prepare everything fresh, maintain our low-waste practices and hopefully be seeing more of you! We hope making this move will bring positive, measured growth for our bakery and our family - and we couldn't be more excited!!<br />
<br />
More detailed information will follow as we progress. We hope you share our enthusiasm!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Last year around this time we rolled out Albany's first Community Supported Bakery ("CSB") Winter Bread Share Program and we are now ready to offer Shares for 2012! Similar to a CSA where one pays for weekly produce at the beginning of the growing season, our Winter Bread Shares offer weekly pickup of sustainably produced, small-batch, artisan loaves in exchange for payment at the beginning of our program season. Members are benefitted with larger Specialty Loaves than those sold retail, a reduced price on Daily Sandwich breads, a unique view of the evolvement of Nick's skills and talents throughout the winter, and greater involvement with those in our community who care about consuming Real Bread! </span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Last year, we prepared our locally-sourced breads and from-scratch baked goods for 49 CSB members who split 69 shares over 6 months, including 4 sponsored shares for Catholic Charities Mercy House Women's Shelter and Refugee Resettlement Program. We will be offering this option again for anyone to who would like to sponsor a full share of Weekly Healthy Bread to Catholic Charities for the season at the discounted rate of $90.00 for the season (please indicate your choice on your sign-up sheet). </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our first season went incredibly well! There were two babies born and we formed long-term relationships with many of our members who have given us valuable feedback, the ability to open our storefront and were reponsible for us beginning to use all Organic Flours and much higher-quailty ingredients all around. We are eternally grateful for their encouragement and support over this last year as we have grown our little bakery! We hope you'll join us as we embark upon our second <a href="http://allgoodbakers.weebly.com/join-our-csb.html">Community Supported Bakery Winter Bread Share Season</a>!</span><br />

The Month challenge can start anytime in September and be completed 30 days later. All foods consumed during the 250 Mile Diet Challenge must be produced locally within 250 miles and be produced using organic or sustainable methods.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">You may have heard, I (Britin) started making our own sweet cream and cultured butter for the bakery two weeks ago. We recently found out <a href="http://alloveralbany.com/archive/2011/03/22/milk-delivery-options-capital-region">Meadowbrook Dairy</a> wouldn't be able to bring us our usual beloved variety from The Country Creamery in Canestota anymore due to sustained high fuel costs and distribution complications. When Chuck Van Wie (one of the Meadowbrook's owners) suggested I made our own butter, my mind started racing. Could I learn the skill quickly and thoroughly enough to prepare it in bulk? Would our baked goods suffer or improve? Is there ever enough time to tackle new tasks such as this? Chuck pointed out that Meadowbrook's heavy cream is vat-pasteurized (the old fashioned way) making it superior to other local dairies. Plus the cream is not subjected to high-heat, is GMO-free and with Meadowbrook we know the cows who provide us with such bounty are grass-fed for much of the year and treated humanely. It didn't take long for panic to give way to excitement and I started researching all the ins & outs of butter making. Tackling this new challenge has been exciting and fun (and messy)!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">See, we are purists when it comes to food, especially with what we serve in our bakery. Because we use almost 20 pounds of butter every week in our Croissants, Scones, Cookies, Muffins, Tarts and grilled Sandwiches, we can't settle for even one less-than-superior major ingredient. We've experimented with a couple of other local butters from the Honest Weight Food Co-op, but found them lacking in depth, flavor and texture. Culturing some of the cream before churning provides us with real buttermilk that we're beginning to use in our Scones, and Buttermilk Biscuits are most likely going to become a staple on Sundays in an effort to use everything we are producing. The real buttermilk, which is thinner than store bought, can then be used to culture the next batch of heavy cream, which in turn gives us our own Creme Fraiche. Once I started figuring out all of the derivative products we can use in the bakery just by simply beating fresh or cultured heavy cream, the decision to soldier through 20 lbs of butter making every week didn't seem so crazy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4l0hfEa5OWg/TkmUprPTjAI/AAAAAAAAAGk/3LkYWWl_gPc/s1600/Croissant.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><br />

We are deeply committed to providing consistently delicious Real Food, even when it means taking on a daunting task. That said, I'm still working out the minor kinks regarding texture and proper culturing so you may see and taste some changes over the next few weeks as we figure out which baked goods respond better to each variety of butter and refine techniques. It's important to us to hear your feedback, so please don't be shy about sharing your opinion. We change things up based on what we're learning from our community, so hearing your thoughts is crucial to our improvement.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We're thinking of starting a very small Community Supported Butter share program in a few weeks once the desired production consistency is achieved. Ethical, NY-sourced sweet cream and especially cultured butter are rare (if not impossible) to find in the Capital Region, so we hope some of you will be very excited about this prospect! I'm also thinking of flavoring a small amount with herbs, high-quality salts, garlic, maple syrup....the ideas are flowing! We plan on making enough of each variety so that we can offer additional small quantities to the general public as well. We'll keep you posted on the status of the initiation of the program.</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I've been feeling pretty giddy with myself about all of this. I've made 20 lbs each of sweet cream and cultured butter so far, and will begin culturing a new batch of heavy cream in the morning. A recipe with detailed instructions will be posted on the <a href="http://www.fromscratchclub.wordpress.com/">From Scratch Club</a> blog tomorrow, so if you're interested in making your own, please take a gander! It's so easy to prepare in a small batch, everyone should give it a try. I'm happy to answer any questions should anyone decide to take on the task. We look forward to our continuing adventures with our own better butter, and hope you do too!</div></div><br />

Special Late Night PostAside from detailed answers we give to questions about our ingredients, the nature of which we gladly divulge, the question we are most often asked to answer is: When will you be open more hours? As of right now, there are three reasons we aren't quite ready to make that jump yet:<br />
<br />
1) When we were looking for a kitchen to rent to bake for our Community Supported Bakery members in the fall of 2010, we found almost zero affordable, leasable real-estate or rent-by-the-hour kitchen relatively close to our home near Delaware Ave. We lucked into finding our spot on Quail St. through an unlikely source: the Albany Health Department. The main go-to person for restaurant permitting at the AHD is Maryanne Stone - she was helpful and patient with our repeated phone calls & questions, AND she ultimately recommended Mark Guido (of Guido's Frozen Desserts, a mobile Italian Ice truck in businesses in Albany for more than 15 years) who had a 495 foot kitchen/retail space to rent on Quail St. (tiny: yes; about 3 miles from our home & affordable for 24 hour-access: boons!).<br />
<br />
We chose to build our business with cash (no debt), so taking on the additional overhead was a daunting prospect. We happened to know another small producer from the Delmar Farmers Market (Gatherer's Granola, Sandro Gerbini) who had grown out of his current production situation at Java Jazz Cafe in Delmar (recently closed, have you heard a new vegan restaurant has opened there?). AGB & Gatherer's, recognizing and suffering from the severe lack of affordable commercial kitchen space available in Albany for small-food producers to grow, decided to secure the space together. Combining this partnership with the investment of our shareholders through our CSB, AGB was able to put down a deposit, pay the first month's rent and purchase a used 20 qt. Hobart mixer (with the rest of the capital going to ingredients, permits & providing for our family through the winter). Sandro invested in an oven and huge refigerator, we all navigated the City of Albany/Health Dept./Ag & Markets permitting processes (+ building, electrical, planning dept, City Clerk, the list goes on...NOT simple), and whoopdidoo! Whaddya know? We're in business! The headiness of that idea still smacks Nick & I in the face sometimes when we arrive at the bakery early morning, or are about to open our doors. We OWN our own bakery! Thrilling stuff. <br />
<br />
Going through the experience of trying like hell, for months, to find affordable kitchen space to rent in Albany-proper led us to the idea of starting a Bakers Co-op. Gatherer's & AGB are growing, so together we are currently occupying the kitchen for the majority of hours, but Fluffalicious Cupcakes rents our space on Mondays while they complete their new bakery in Cohoes, and we have other prospects clamoring to get in. Together, we have the fortunate (unfortunate for prospectors) situation of needing the kitchen for most of the hours available. In the long term, we hope to gather other local, stellar bakers with philosophies similar to ours (and complimentary products) to bring Albany a group of "All Good Bakers" who can help staff the shop full time, offer their wares and make a living. For now, our partnership with Gatherer's Granola and other small-producers keeps our head above water.<br />
<br />
B: Nick and I have a 4 year old daughter (when she was in the womb, we affectionately called her "The Kid"). Running a small business, even "part-time", based on the rigorous standards we have for the absolute freshness of our products, requires sometimes 20 hours a day (or more) when we're open from Nick, who prepares & bakes almost everything. Days "off" are spent handling accounting; marketing; researching ingredients; developing relationships with suppliers, wholesale clients & event coordinators; ordering materials; driving to our farmers to pick up fresh produce, and handling various other bakery errands. Wedged in there, we have to carve out quality time & meals with The Kid, who is suffering from our change in schedule & lifestyle at the moment. We're finding ways to handle that challenge.<br />
<br />
And #3: We are growing slowly on purpose! Everything we do is "bootstrapped". While Nick & I have both worked in restaurants & customer service most of our adult lives, we don't have accounting, business, marketing or food-service degrees. We're learning as we go. I'm a research fiend, so we make up the difference that way (+ through building community relationships). We bake as much as we can handle with the part-time help of a couple of friends, and take care of the remainder of requirements ourselves when not at the shop. We're small and will remain that way. We don't intend to become the next Panera Bread - you won't see our wares doctored & carelessly mass-produced at <i>any </i>point in the future. We believe in supporting our neighbors and their creative talents (just as we are supported). The integrity of the quality and personality of our business is of the utmost importance to us to maintain. There's something intuitive about our feelings on this subject - we're not thinking analytically & strategically like a large chain might. Our business decisions are based on our intimate knowledge of what's going on in our community, and what we perceive people (including ourselves) really caring about. <br />
<br />
Healthy balance, and a positive, manageable quality of life are among our goals. So is following our dream of bringing our breads, baked goods & healthy lunches, that encompass our philosophy, passion & talents, to our community based on one main tenant: REAL FOOD. No preservatives, no chemicals, no antibiotics, hormones or GMO. No Greenwashing. No Bullshit (sorry for the expletive, but that particular word sums things up nicely in this case, and it's late after a long day - that's my excuse for lack of more appropriate language).<br />
<br />
So, that's the long answer. The short answer is: We'll open for more hours when we can handle it and the universe aligns with our talents, available time & goals.<br />
<br />
All in good time, friends, all in good time. Rest assured we'll keep you posted and we will work towards these goals (almost) tirelessly. Rest....rest is important. Think I'll get some now...12:05 pm. Have to be up in 5 hours for the farmers market. Nick will be up in an hour. Sympathize! <br />

We prepare a variety of other offerings, but flour is our medium and bread is where our meals begin. Nick has had a passion for preparing food since he was a very young; his maternal grandmother ("Gommy") faithfully baked fresh breads and pastries for his mother's family of eight, twice weekly (they couldn't afford to buy from the store). The stories Nick heard from the extended Foster family, and one-on-one baking time with Gommy as he was growing up stayed with him. Gommy passed away when he was 9, and at the age of 15 he began working in restaurants. With no culinary degree and little working baking experience, the sensory memories gleaned from time spent at his grandma's house on baking days inspired our one-and-only bread baker to begin working from her techniques 9 years ago.<br />

</tbody></table>Recipes can mean little when you're using just a few basic ingredients. Method is king in bread baking, an intuitive process. When one person is mixing, kneading and baking large quantities, in the finite amount of time required for freshness, a "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/STTFlow">Surrender to the Flow</a>" is called for (In Nick's case, that means listening to lots of <a href="http://phish.com/">Phish</a>). Crafting bread is an art, make no mistake. Yes, admittedly, anyone can make a loaf but if you've ever tried it, you understand. There are a million different paths one can take: quality and quantities of materials; length of kneading, rising times & baking temperatures; and a huge variety of sourdough concoctions & creative additions all come into effect when creating something as simple, and complex, as bread.<br />
<br />
Extremely high-quality ingredients are the King's companion in our view. Here at All Good, that means we use: Champlain Valley Milled flours that are un-enriched, unbleached, contain no GMO and are 100% organic (our White, Wheat & <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelt">Spelt </a>are from Central NY); Red Star baking yeast, Albany tap water, Kosher Salt and Sugars which vary from: local honey, fair-trade organic raw sugar, molasses, or the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trub_%28brewing%29">trub </a>of a local brewer's mead or India Pale Ale. Our variety of (still relatively young) Sourdoughs contain very little sugars and yeast, allowing the starters to grow naturally. When preparing specialty loaves, we use only organic (or organic-practices) whole grains, oats, cereals, seeds, nuts, vegetables, fruits and local cheeses free of hormones and antibiotics. We source these additions aggressively from hyper-local producers as often as humanly possible. We can't stress enough how important it is to us to use materials that won't make our community of customers ill over time - bread laden with preservatives, chemicals, GMO, unnatural dough conditioners and lab-produced sweeteners like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup#Health_effects">High Fructose Corn Syrup</a> have been found to do <a href="http://www.essortment.com/information-food-additives-preservatives-42022.html">exactly that</a>.<br />

Our faithful sidekick (and CIA graduate), Molasses Meg, and I are beginning the process this week of learning how to make Nick's traditional French Croissants ($2.00-2.50) so that we can offer them to you on <b style="color: #990000;">Saturdays, in the shop AND at the <a href="http://www.delmarmarket.org/">Delmar Farmers Market</a></b><span style="color: #990000;">!</span> Seriously disappointed faces in search of our croissants have greeted us in Delmar these past few weeks, so we're figuring out how to turn those frowns upside down. We'll start offering Chocolate Croissants as well this weekend (as requested, at both locations) and will come up with other delectable flavors as time goes on. Hopefully it won't take us more than a couple of weeks (under Nick's careful tutelage) to perfect the process and the quality won't suffer from our inexperience. Did you know they are made with chemical and hormone-free Meadowbrook milk & cream, rBGH-free butter from <a href="http://northviewdiary.blogspot.com/2011/03/butter.html">The Country Creamery </a>in Canastota, and organic flour from Central New York? Provided our preparations don't go horribly awry, we'll be bringing croissants to Delmar this weekend and they will be available in the shop Saturdays and Sundays going forward as well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #990000;"><br />

Those of you who are observant may have noticed, we decided to <b><span style="color: #990000;">open an hour earlier on Saturdays!</span></b> A minor expansion, granted, but hopefully it will allow more of you to stop by the shop during your Saturday morning routine.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
