One question π§
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 weβre headed together.Β
I have a specific request of you this weekβ¦ but first some news:Β
Iβm taking this week off from accepting new bread orders. The growth of this community has been amazing in just one month. Ever since last weekβs flood of bread orders Iβve been brainstorming logistics on how Iβll accommodate this rapidly growing community of wonderful people who want to buy bread from me while supporting social justice causes.Β 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.Β
This brings me back to the heart of this weekβs letter. Iβve really been reflecting lately on what it means to run a community bakery, what the future of this newsletter is, and what weβre doing here together.
Bread & Justice (the bakery and this newsletter) exists because Iβm passionate about a few overlapping things:Β
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 pleaseΒ 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 whoβs 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 wonβt be long before Iβm 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!
