Sometimes the picture is enough, no?

Certainly true here, what description of a golden milk pastry cream danish with calendula pedals is required when the morning just oozes gold everywhere you look?

Not pictured are • herbed sweet corn, ricotta, tomato danish • blackberry cream cheese pull aparts • cranberry cornmeal almond scones and a bazillion other flavors of pastry…

For my part, a single loaf of this whole grain spelt would suit me just fine, but we if you’re a cinnamon raisin person, we got you. Also • seeded onion breadsticks • french batard • country round • olive rosemary • cinnamon raisin w/ 🍁 toasted walnuts.

In other words, it’s a fine day just because the sun’s out and we’re all awake and breathing, but also, we’ve been up around the clock to make it one of the tastiest Saturdays of the summer for all of you.

“Engagement” has taken on a whole new meaning in the age of algorithms, but our multi week “digital engagement drought” ends this morning as a couple analog forms of engagement fill the day.

Lighting the pizza oven before dawn, the bread packing and pastry baking teams already well into their shifts, the aroma of browning butter and caramelizing fruit wafting out of the open windows into the morning air, the countless good fortunes of a day such as today were lit like a spotlight on stage in my mind.

For us here at Breadworks that looks like a couple dozen skilled, passionate people combining our collective efforts to bring you hundreds and hundreds of loaves of bread and pastries, delivering them to shops, farms and general stores all over, and that’s just the this morning.

Later we’ll host a full farm to table wedding reception for a wedding, something we’ve been doing this since long before farm to table was hip and trendy.

Whatever your Saturday holds, I hope it’s filled with engagement, connection and genuine nourishment.

Since I’ve already answered 4 phone calls asking whether we’re open, the answer is yes 👍🏼! (And delivering to all the spots + farmers’ markets)

Raise your hand if you ever tire of Strawberry 🍓 + Rhubarb. (And if you’re as upset as we are that there’s no rhubarb emoji 🤣)

Final call for this pairing today, and we made a couple dozen mini pies to send them off in style.

For all the strawberry rhubarb skeptics out there, the July pastry menu is over on slide 3, which shows only the specials, because to list everything would require us to print in 5 point, single spaced.

For reference, just the regulars:
- Croissants -
Chocolate
Almond
Butter
Ham + Cheese
Everything bagel pull apart
Cherry cream cheese pull apart

And while everyone is looking for buns and rolls - which we have in a-bun-dance 🌭💃 😉 - real honest loaves of bread are also piled high.

See you soon, then jump in the lake.

It’s honestly a rare morning around here this time of year that feels anything less than distinctly paradise like, but today in particular, it really doesn’t get any more beautiful.

And that’s just talking about the scenery. About 200 very delicious food makings - sweet, savory, baked, roasted, fresh picked and curated with care - await you. Menu MIGHT make it up over in stories… no promises, I’ve got basil pesto and roasted red pepper focaccia to bake.

Sunshine on the solstice, bodes well for berry season!

Starting today, but every weekend this season, we’ve got your shortcakes to go with em.

Today’s the day, Brattleboro Area Farmers Market The Farmers' Market of Keene

- I know I know, everyone has pigeonholed shortcakes as a Strawberry only thing, but come on, these little divas are only around for a few weeks. Right on their heels, we go to
- black raspberry
- red currant
- blueberry
- red raspberry
- blackberry…
definitely worth giving them all a chance to sit atop a pillowy whipped cream mountain and one of these extra tender buttermilk shortcakes.

☀️

Oh hey, I’m just a simple whole wheat round.

3 ingredients: whole grain flour, water, salt.

What a marvelous thing to taste and behold.

😌

Local organic spinach, whipped sheep’s feta, nestled in a little croissant canoe. 🛶

Ham, cheese and egg, oh my. (With chive - because we need a little green for “green eggs and ham” 😉

It would be an immensely rewarding experience simply to work with passionate craftspeople every day. Who just cared deeply about the quality of the products that are set on the shelf for you, and left it at that.

How incredibly lucky are we then, to not only be surrounded by humans who pour their hearts into what we make, but also uphold an abiding belief that there’s more to all of this than just great tasting food.

If you want to get a bit of both: the tastiest Saturday treats, and a dose of that real but intangible feeling that love really IS love, stop by. ♥️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Sugaring season went in a flash, but our barrels worth is stashed away for the coming year thanks to Peter and Debbie Rhoades who’ve been making syrup a couple miles from here for decades and supplying us since year 1. The real, tangible value of connections like this can’t be overstated, they are a key ingredient in what give places a soul. 💛
