🌲✨ Well… this was a fun one.
One of our loaves today had a little holiday tree scored right in — a tiny festive giveaway baked into the crust. (Don’t worry… not the crunchy kind 😂)

If you were the lucky tree-finder, snap a pic and tag us — then come claim your free loaf at the next market! Consider it our very own holiday golden ticket. 🍞🎄

And truly — thank you to everyone who came out today. Your support, your smiles, your quick chats, and the fact that so many of you braved the chilly, wet morning… it means more to us than you know. These markets are such a joy because of you.
