Week 3 at the Arlington Heights Farmers Market was such a good one. Even with the chilly morning, so many of you stopped by to grab your favorite sourdough goodies. Thank you for waiting in line so patiently, chatting with us, and even telling the people next to you about FlaRa. That truly means so much to us.
Our organic kale + parmesan focaccia made its first appearance this weekend, and the slices went so fast. Safe to say you all already love this one 🥬🤍
Another sold out weekend — thank you for being here and supporting our little bakery every Saturday. Tell us what your favorite pickup was today, we’d love to know 🫶

✨Arlington Heights Farmers Market: Week 2✨
Saturday started with heavy rain and a lot of uncertainty… and somehow turned into such a beautiful market day. By the time the sun came out, so many of you showed up for us, and we honestly went home feeling so grateful. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our tent this weekend. To the familiar faces who come see us every Saturday, and to all the new faces we met this week too — thank you for giving FlaRa a little spot in your morning. It means more than you know. And thank you for waiting patiently in line, chatting with us, supporting our small business, and taking our bread and pastries home with you.
A big shoutout to for supplying us with organic, grass fed beef and organic eggs for our Farmhouse Breakfast Sandwich.
If you visited us this Saturday, tell us — what was your favorite thing you tried ♥️
FlaRa Bakery,
With Salt & Heart 💚🌾

✨ Arlington Heights Farmers Market, Week 1 ✨
Our hearts are so full after opening day at the market. So many familiar faces, so many new ones, so many warm conversations in between loaves, pastries. Thank you for showing up for us.
We spent weeks getting everything ready behind the scenes, and seeing all of you waiting patiently for your favorites meant more than we can put into words. From the cinnamon rolls and blueberry lemon scones to the return of our farmhouse breakfast sandwich, it made us so happy watching you enjoy everything we worked so hard on.
Thank you for your kindness, your patience, your support, and for welcoming us back for another season. Truly. Every market morning is made special because of this community.
Here are a few little moments from opening day — both in front of the table and behind the scenes. We already can’t wait to see you again on May 16.
Until then, take care friends ♥️
FlaRa Bakery,
With Salt and Heart 💚🌾

Nothing at FlaRa is rushed.
Not the fermentation, not the process, not the care behind each loaf.
Everything moves with time — real time. And maybe that’s why people feel it.
Not just in the bread, but in the experience of it.
What is slow to make… becomes something worth slowing down for ♥️

At FlaRa, every ingredient tells a story.
From local farms during market season
To the simple, organic staples we bake with year-round—
We choose what goes into your bread carefully, with intention.
Because real food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about care.
It’s about people who build things from scratch, and the connection it creates when it reaches your table.
FlaRa Bakery,
With Salt & Heart 💚🌾
not everyone will understand the cost or the process—and that’s okay.
but for those who do…
we’re grateful to share every loaf, every pastry, every bite 🤍

some dreams don’t arrive loudly.

they grow slowly, in silence—
in early mornings, in tired hands, in the moments where no one is watching.

this is one of them.

thank you for being here, for seeing it, and for letting it become part of your days.
Love,
Flavia + Rafael
