BUSINESS UPDATE >>
Late last year I decided to put the business on hold while I settled into my new job. I have had a few messages from customers, asking when I was going to start baking again.

The truth is, I can't start baking again as I don't have the capacity to do it anymore, for a couple of different reasons. HOWEVER...read on to find out what I WILL be doing instead!

I have been interested in self-sufficiency for some time now and in recent years I have been learning about permaculture. Permaculture is broken down into 12 key principles and lately I have been trying to integrate these principles into my life. On of these principles is called "Fair Share".

"Fair Share" is all about passing on the surplus, only using what we need and participating in our community in a way that encourages equity. It can be as simple as sharing excess veggies from your garden with your work colleagues or teaching your neighbour how to prune their fruit trees. It's about not gatekeeping information for personal gain, but instead sharing resources, knowledge and skills.

In the spirit of Fair Share, I have decided not to continue selling sourdough bread. Instead, I would like to pass on the knowledge that I have so that others can learn to make their own bread. I would like to share some of my other skills and knowledge as well.

I invite you to sign up to my new Substack newsletter. This newsletter will be my new way of sharing recipes and information with those who wish to subscribe. I will be sending out my first newsletter soon. You can check it out via the link below.

Dear Customers,
For those who do not know, I have been working part time while running Coastal Food Co as a side hustle for the past 6 months. This week I have been lucky to secure a full time management position. I have made the decision to accept this role, however it means I will need to hibernate Coastal Food Co. until such time that I am able to somehow fit bread baking into my lifestyle again. Next week will be my final lot of bread baking for 2023. This decision was not an easy one and believe me, I’ve considered lots of ways to try to make it all work together, but in the end I conceded that it would be really difficult to keep baking large amounts of sourdough while working full time in a management role. Thank you for all of your support of my sourdough over the past 3 years, I am so thankful for every customer and I am so very sad and sorry to leave you all so suddenly. I suspect that this is not the last you’ll hear from me, so, for now, I’ll just say ‘see you later’. If you wish to order for this week (our final week) you can order on the website - THANK YOU xx Megan

Thank you to everyone who ordered this week, it was another big one! Don’t forget I am on holidays next week so no bread on Monday but I’ll be back on 13 November. This will be my first actual proper holiday since selling the cafe, and I am very much looking forward to doing a whole lot of nothing so I can come back refreshed and ready to tackle the festive season. See you on the other side guys! 💕✨
