Our bagels are NEVER bromated! If your dough needs conditioning, it’s time you take a hard look at how you make food and exercise your craft. No amount of additives can make up for time-honored authentic methods of true fermentation and process.

What’s bromate you ask..

Potassium bromate is used in flour as a “dough conditioner” to make dough more elastic, stretchy, and cost-effective.

Health Concerns: It is classified as a potential carcinogen and linked to kidney issues.

It has been banned in the UK since 1990, and throughout the European Union, Canada, Brazil, and China.

Leave to the “greatest country in the world” to be a solid 35 years behind on public health initiatives. 👎

If you’ve told me 20 years ago that I’d be standing in front of soon-to-be 2026 grads at Willamette University to talk about entrepreneurship and building a mission-driven business, I’d be shocked (but intrigued!).

It was great to converse with such an amazing group.
Their youth and excitement for their budding futures was palpable and inspiring for this old broad! 🤪

To the class of 2026.. I don’t claim to have much wisdom but I can claim experience. If I could tell my younger self anything, it’d be..

Don’t wait for perfect timing or permission to chase your passion. And, the world doesn’t need more of the same, it needs your vision and what you are willing to build.

Y’all! I’m taking what I like to call “big baby steps” and FINALLY UPC-ing up.
It may not mean much to most folks, but it’s got my grocery retailers doing backflips because it makes their jobs a tad smoother.. and it’s a big step for this little bagel biz.

Growth is wild. It’s not always one giant, bold leap ahead. Rather, it’s a hundred tiny behind-the-scenes decisions that matter to almost no one but you… and maybe a handful of others. Some steps are meticulously calculated. Others are pure gut. Most of the time, it’s both.. a strange dance between strategy and instinct. Learning when to tread lightly, when to go all in, and when to trust that even the smallest steps are still carrying you forward.

So, here’s to big baby steps. Because forward is forward, right??! Here’s to growing intentionally and with a whole lot of heart.

Preparing. Expanding. Stretching. Growing. Believing. Hoping
