One question ๐ง
Pinching myself and taking a deep breath as I plan for the future of Bread & Justice
A short letter this week as I gather my thoughts about where weโre headed together.ย
I have a specific request of you this weekโฆ but first some news:ย
Iโm taking this week off from accepting new bread orders. The growth of this community has been amazing in just one month. Ever since last weekโs flood of bread orders Iโve been brainstorming logistics on how Iโll accommodate this rapidly growing community of wonderful people who want to buy bread from me while supporting social justice causes.ย Thank you for your patience. My aim is to have a plan in place next week that makes it easier for more people to join in the mission of this work while also getting bread.ย
This brings me back to the heart of this weekโs letter. Iโve really been reflecting lately on what it means to run a community bakery, what the future of this newsletter is, and what weโre doing here together.
Bread & Justice (the bakery and this newsletter) exists because Iโm passionate about a few overlapping things:ย
Feeding my community sourdough bread that I make with my own hands
Sharing my learnings as a baker & encouraging people everywhere to make their own sourdough bread
Raising money for social justice causes
Helping people to recognize ways that they can do something to change the realities of racism and injustice in American society
I really appreciate that each subscriber has come to this newsletter in a unique way. Would you pleaseย take this one (1) question survey to help me better understand you as a subscriber? It would mean a lot to me if you would take 20 seconds to do this.
The results of the survey anonymous, but your impact will be significant. You taking the time to answer just one question will help me think about whoโs here and how best to serve you.
Meanwhile, here is a picture of the 100 pounds of flour that I picked up this weekend. At this rate it wonโt be long before Iโm going through this much flour every week in my quest to make bread for my community. This puts a huge smile my face to think about :)
Cheers!
