Happy Halloween, Everyone!
🎃 👻 🎃 👻 🎃 👻 🎃 👻 🎃
I hope everyone is ready for the little Ghosts & Goblins this Halloween Friday night; it’ll be a busy one for sure with all the little “trick or treaters”!

Tomorrow is a new venture for 19 other “preferred vendors” and myself (still wrapping my head around being called a “preferred vendor”!) to be a part of the new historic indoor farmers market in St. Paul! Since Apple Valley is part of the SPFM (I participate in their outdoor Saturday summer market) - SPFM have their outdoor markets in various locations throughout the week all year long. Now right next to the original location downtown St.Paul outdoor farmers market is a historical building that has been being getting updated for permanent use by the SPFM & SPGA (St. Paul Growers Association). This is where I’ll be on Saturdays during the winter months with 19 other vendors (staying warm inside) while others are outside 🥶❄️. You can read about it here. https://www.stpaulpublishing.com/farmers-market-opening-new-indoor-site-downtown-will-offer-fresh-food-daily/

Now for the good stuff! With the soft opening of indoor market being tomorrow (in limited quantities) - For this week’s “flavor of the day” we’ve got a delicious: Apple Pumpkin Sourdough!
Also this week - our popular sourdough quick-bread is a tasty Ginger Pear Sourdough.
We’ll still be bringing your favorite sourdough flavors (Plain/Garden Medley/Jalapeño Cheddar/Italian Herb & Asiago Sourdough) in addition to the Sweet Roll of the Month (which is Pumpkin Pie 🥧 for the month of November) & our Chocolate Chunk Sourdough Cookies. 🍪

Let’s celebrate the fun flavors of Fall 🍁🍂.
So, stop by the St.Paul INDOOR Farmers Market (308 E Prince Street St. Paul, MN) on Saturdays thru April 19, 2026 9-1 and say hello 👋

Just remember (if you can’t make it to the market, just to go to the website and place your order anytime before Tuesday 6pm for a Thursday Porch Pickup (or market pickup on Saturday)!

Also this week, a delicious zucchini sourdough - very similar to the regular sweet bread version, yet not as sweet and very light.

Happy Dough Day!!

So, today - I’ll lightly touch on an answer to a question posed from my oldest brother this weekend. He asked, “How do you bake over a hundred loaves a week?” Two words: Commercial Equipment. I have an Estella 30 Spiral Mixer that allows me to put out at least 20 loaves (by weight) at a time & a Belgian Rofco Brick oven where I open bake 12 loaves at a time. I’m generally baking 9.5 hours straight on Fridays for fresh product to the market Saturdays. See photos below in chronological order 🍞🥐🥖🥯

That being said - this week at the market will be the usuals (Plain, Jalapeño Cheddar, Cinnamon Brown Sugar, Garden Medley, Chocolate Chunk Cookies, and Sweet-rolls (limited)), in addition to it being Gluten Free Week (Plain Sandwich Bread, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Lemon Cake) - *If it turns out, I’ll be doing a Dairy Free/Gluten Free Loaf as well 🤞🏻. Garlic Rosemary, Blueberry White Chocolate is also on the menu - and the flavor of the week is: Dill Pickle 🥒!

So come on down to the Apple Valley Farmers Market and say Hi 👋!
I’ll be there 8-1 (unless I sell out, and I’ll be gone).

Reminder: We won’t be at the Farmers Market for the next 2 weeks for family vacation. Back in September!
