Morning Bread Lovers,

Happy Pizza Thursday! You know, I find it super interesting how the weekdays got their names. Like Tuesday, did you know that Tuesday is named for Gemini, the twin god. That is why it is called Two’s day… you know, twins and all that.
Wednesday is named after the Roman God Matrimonious… that is why it is Wedding day or Wed day for short… (the “nes” in Wednesday is just thrown in to ensure future generations spell it wrong for eternity.) And Thursday is named after Thor, the thunder god, the one who goes around with a hammer like an Avenger.... Little known fact, Thor’s Favorite food was pizza and that is why even today we have intergalactic, universal pizza day on a Thursday. Cool fact, I’m telling ya, it’s amazing what you can find out on the internet. Enough of the history lesson, let’s talk about bread.

We make bread… and we made lots this morning.

Open till 5:00
See you at the store,
Thank you,
Chuck

Happy No Market Today Wednesday!

Yep, the Best Market in Metro West, Grafton Farmers Market is closed for the season, but yipee, it was voted the #1 market in Metro West for the peoples choice awards. That is a great accomplishment for the market and for the town of Grafton. That is the good news, the bad news, it is closed for the season… not to worry, we got ya covered.

No market but it is still Whoopie Pie Wednesday and we made pumpernickel rye today. Plus we have some almond rolls, spinach, feta danish, and a lot of other great stuff. Yesterday was amazing. It was so good to see our customers again after being closed for a quick vacation. We made a ton of extra bread and still sold out around 4 pm. Today we made lots of extra stuff and we hope we made enough for people to restock their depleted freezers.

We have some openings for the class this weekend if anyone is interested. Call the store for details. I believe we still have two slots open. We are also finalizing our Thanksgiving Menu. This year we are going to make pies for Thanksgiving. We are only going to make a hundred or so pies and they will be preorder only. The google order form for Thanksgiving will be out in Early November. More details to follow but I thought I might tease this out a bit.

OK, we open at 7:00 am and will be open until 5 pm or until the bread runs out. Thank you to everyone, it was so good to see everyone back yesterday and be able to get everyone bread after a short break.

And, yes… tomorrow is intergalactic, universal pizza day….

Don’t forget, no market today… see you at the store.
Thanks again,
Chuck

Morning Bread Lovers,

I know, I know… it feels like we’ve closed for six weeks. Your bread is low or out, you haven’t had a BGB pastry or muffin in what feels like a lifetime, and you can’t even remember what a savory roll is like… I know, it is my fault, I’m the one that took a vacation…

And, even though it was only a week, we have a solution for missing our breads, rolls and pastry. We are OPEN this morning at 7:00 am… that should fix it.

Yep, we are back and we are ready for you to stop by and grab some bread for the week. I made extra today just in case we get busy this Tuesday Morning.

We had a nice trip, the celebration was great and our wandering trip home was a fun adventure. BTW, the Blueridge Parkway is amazing,

OK, everything is almost ready, no English Muffins today. We should have them tomorrow. We have a couple of new items in the pastry case.

See you at the store,
Open till 5:00 pm
Thank you,
Chuck

Hey Bread Lovers!

So, how do you celebrate your 65th? My twin, (yes she is real) and started our week together with great hike to this water fall!

Just a reminder, we are closed all of next week.

Have a great week!

Thank you,
Chuck

Morning Bread Lovers,

Happy Friday! Today is a huge TGIF for me… I am on vacation later this morning. But before I go I thought I might make a few hundred loaves of bread, hundreds of pastries, you know, just something to do while I am having coffee this morning.

THIS IS GREAT! My amazing pastry crew left me a little Birthday suprize… (see picture below.) It is a birthday message made from Black and White Cookies (my favorite). It is amazing but it really should say Happy Birthday Twin Sister, (just kidding, I love it). My plan is to take a bunch home and share the rest with my staff and the kids from GAIN. It will be a nice little birthday thing and no, I am not sharing it with my twin sister… AND, no they are not going to be in the cases to be sold this morning. (OK, I probably will share it with my sister…)

We are truly hoping that you will stop by today and grab bread for next week while we are closed. I made a lot of bread, more than usual, and I hope we can sell it today before we close at 5:00 pm. We made extra of everything today, extra croissants, extra muffins, extra pastries. We have a really fun apple flower danish, and we have a new apple/cheddar croissant. We have a few different types of scones and we made apple/cranberry irish soda bread. It was a busy morning at Bread Guy Breads.

Just so you know, when we reopen on October 13th, this business will not only have the designation of veteran owned but now it should have the designation of senior citizen run, cool huh, I know… I know… how can somebody so young looking be a senior citizen… my secret…. Shhh… don’t tell anyone…. Make bread everyday and you will stay young. Actually, I will make the bread for you and you can just stay young.

OK, I am almost done, see everyone after Columbus Day. Have a great week and thank you to everyone for the birthday good wishes.

Thank you,
Chuck

Morning Bread Lovers,

What a great day yesterday for our last market. It was great to see so many people and we happily sold a lot of bread. I have to admit I will miss those 21 hour days, setting up in the rain, fighting the yellow jackets, and being so hot you can’t think and the following week being chilled to the bone… Truly, all complaining aside, it was great. I think I will miss the whole outside experience, the fellow vendors that I now call friends, the amazing people that run the market and most of all, I will miss serving all of you at this amazing market. Thank you everyone.

So, today is Pizza Day Thursday but since we will be closed this Saturday, for us and for our level of production today is actually “Not really Friday but feels like Pizza Friday” or NRFBFLPF for short. And tomorrow is NRSBFLS. (Not really Saturday but feels like Saturday.) We have upped our production amounts and today we have five different types of croissants, Cranberry Apple Irish soda bread, and a few different Fall flavors. We have cookies, muffins, brownies, blondies, danish, scones, and more. We made extra bread, and hopefully we have enough for you to get through next when we are closed. Yes, we are closed all of next week so I can attend my twin sister's Birthday Party… finally invited me this year… she said I had to bring bread… hmm… (just kidding…..I’m actually crashing it.)

OK,I probably made way too much product today… I’m sure this stems from feeling guilty for closing next week. (It’s my religious upbringing… ) Please stop by the store and help us out.

And finally, all joking aside, I am looking forward to spending this milestone birthday with my twin sister and the rest of my family. Plus, I could use a week to heal my sore body and get some much needed rest and relaxation. In Game of Thrones they always say “Winter is coming” at Bread Guy Breads we say “Thanksgiving is coming” A break now would be welcome.

OK, see you at the store. Open till 5:00.
Thank you,
Chuck

Morning Bread Lovers,

It's early Tuesday Morning, we are working hard to get everything ready to open in a couple of hours. This post has a few important announcements so please read on.

1. We will be closed for vacation starting on Saturday, October 3, for a full week. Our next day open will be Tuesday, October 13. Part of this is some time off and the rest is weekends and holidays. So, this week will be a good time to stock up and get some bread in the freezer for the week we are out. We plan on making extra bread and stuff throughout the week. We will have regular hours during the week but will not be open on Saturday. Here is this weeks hours:

Tuesday 7 am - 5 pm
Wednesday 7 am -12 pm and then 2 pm - 6 pm at Grafton Farmers Market,
Thursday 7 am - 5 pm, and
Friday 7 am - 5 pm.
Saturday - Closed until October 13.

2. Tomorrow, Wednesday, Sept. 30 will be our last Farmers Market, as in, we will not be doing farmers markets going forward. The store is doing very well and we have been having trouble making enough products for the store and the market. Accordingly, we are not going to do markets next year, so this one... this one... is our last market ever. (sigh). We've doing markets for 6 years and I really enjoyed the markets but it time to move on and hopefully some incredibly handsome bread maker will take over and fill the void. (Who knows, it happened six years ago....😉 ) I want to thank all the people that make the markets happen, it has been a good run. Please stop by our last ever market on Wednesday and make our last farmers market a great one.

3. We still have openings in most of the classes. If you are interested, please call and sign up for a class.

OK, I need to get back to work and get this bread out for a our 7:00 am start.

See you at the store,
Thank you,
Chuck

Hey Bread Lovers...

Storm... swarm... we're not afraid of no storm.... Yea, that's right, we're going open this morning, we're not scared of the light rain and breezy day that is out there right now... Nope, 10 mile an hour winds and light rain ain't scaring us...

Now later when the rain and wind pick up, we will be regretting our decision but for now... we ain't afraid of nottin.

It looks like we have a bit of time before the mother of all noreasters (according to the News) is due to hit us... Probably just enough time to get in the car, pack up the kids and head to Bread Guy Breads. We have some great stuff today and unless your the wicked witch of the west... a little rain never hurt anyone.

We hope people stop by and grab some bread and pastry. Later today and tomorrow look pretty yucky and well, if your stuck inside for the weekend it's always nice to have some great bread to cheer you up.

OK, put on the rain coat, batten down the hatches, and we will see you at the store.

Open 8-1 today, lots of bread, rolls and pastry.
Stay safe today!
Thank you,
Chuck

Hey Bread Lovers,

We interrupt your regular scrolling with this important message….

IT IS GOING TO RAIN THIS WEEKEND… I mean like…. OMG!!! Stormegedon is descending upon us… when it is finished on Sunday we will be back to hunting animals with flint arrows and trying to learn to start fires… The weather forecast is dire… Quick, buy some bread and milk, hurry before life as we know it ceases to exist!

Or… as hearty New Englanders we can say… Ahyep.. There’s a storm abrewing… and then put on our rain slickers and go about our day. (which includes buying bread and milk.)

Seriously.. Going to be sheets of wind driven rain but nothing too catastrophic. Accordingly, we are making lots of extra bread today so you can grab it today and stay snug and dry tomorrow.

And, today is National Bakery Day. This is a real national holiday sponsored by the Retail Bakers of America, (yes, I am a member.) SOOOO…. to celebrate we made a couple of extra fun stuff.

Today we will have:
An apple flower danish with a little chantilly cream, a berry crumble croissant, a croissant pumpkin cinnamon roll, and we made an apple/cranberry Irish Soda Bread. Plus, I increased our production of breads and rolls. We are also going to make a bunch of bread bowls for soup this stormy weekend.

We have all the regular breads, rolls, and savory stuff as well.

In truth we are doing our Saturday production numbers today and tomorrow we will scale back a little betting that people we will be sheltering at home trying to avoid this extinction level storm or don’t feel like going out in the rain on Saturday morning. We will be open tomorrow morning and we will have a full menu but maybe just a little less of everything.

OK, so much to do this morning… we open at 7:00 am, breakfast sandwiches, muffins, coffee, and pastry. Bread bowls will be done closer to 9:00 am. I included some pictures of the new products.

Back to the work
See you at the store,
Thank you,
Chuck

Morning Bread Lovers,

Tough Morning... I was on my way to work and suddenly there was a flock of turkey in the middle of the road. I did my best to avoid them but one of them went flying over my car and hit the car behind me. To make matters worse, the car behind me was a police officer. AND... he gave me a ticket for... (ready for this...) flipping him the bird. It was a fowl situation… and it gobbled up a lot of my time.

No matter, we are here and about to open. Today is whoopie pie Wednesday, today is also pumpernickel day, and today is my second to last Grafton Grafton Farmers Market.

We are at the store 7 am - 12pm and then at the market 2 pm - 6pm. We have all the usual breads and pastry and we did include some fall favors. Next week is our last market of the season. The market goes on for another week but we will be closed the first week of October so we will not be there.

OK, Classes are still pretty open, we need some more people to sign up for the late October class or we will need to cancel it. Check my website for dates.

We are closing Oct. 2 - Oct 13. I am going to take the week off to celebrate my twin sister’s birthday. She is turning 65, a milestone birthday for her.

Market today, 2-6 on Grafton Common.

See you at the store, or see you at the market,
Thank you,
Chuck
