Bread Shares for October 28, 2023

Posted on October 26th, 2023 by Janet Aardema

REMINDER: this year's final Farm Shares are Nov 18th. For every-other-week members, you may finish the week prior. 

Full details are in a few emails we've sent your way over the past two weeks. 

Here is your Bread Share email!

This email is just for Bread Share members so that you can select your loaf variety through this software. You'll get an email like this each week that you have a Bread Share scheduled.  Log in below or with this link and see your loaf options for this week. We'll default you to a "Seed Loaf" and you can swap that for another variety if you'd like. 

This week's varieties are: Seed Loaf, Rosemary & Thyme Loaf, Raisin & Cinnamon Loaf, and Baguettes. 
(The Rosemary & Thyme Loaf is our current seasonal variety. We change out the seasonal variety a few times throughout the year as ingredients that we grow become available. The other three varieties we bake each week.)

The planned seasonal loaf schedule for the rest of the year =

July: Rosemary & Thyme Loaf
THIS WEEK!: Roasted Pepper & Onion Loaf 
Maybe at some point in late October/early Nov: Sunny Greens Loaf
November & December: Pumpernickel Loaf

Bread Note:
Our breads have ZERO oil or preservatives in them. (We use very old fashioned-style recipes.) They don't have the shelf life of grocery store bread -- they dry out over a few days. Eat it quickly OR freeze or refrigerate in an air-tight bag or container to make it last longer than a couple of days. 

General Reminders: 

For Pick Up:
- Please remember to bring your own bags each week. 
- At Self Serve locations: Our vegetables are in green plastic boxes at the pick up location, labelled with members' names. Find the box with your name on it. - Empty the vegetables into your bag and leave the empty, green box for us to collect.  
- Loaves of bread, for those who have ordered one, will be near the green boxes, labeled with your name. Pick up your loaf if you are due one. (Some people have purchased a Bread Share for a loaf each week of the season. Some people order a loaf when they please.)
- Same for cooler(s) at pick up locations with any cold items that aren't vegetables (eggs, fermented vegetables, etc...See below for more info.)
- At Staffed locations: One of us will be there to quickly gather your items for you to bag up and bring home.
- Preparation ideas and recipe suggestions are in your email. Also check out our Pinterest Page for lots of recipe ideas, organized by vegetable. 

Vacations:
If you will be gone and can't pick up a particular week's share you can reschedule that week's share for a different week in the Harvie software, or you can have a friend or family member pick up for you. Just forward this email to them so they know the details. 
 
Thank you again for being part of our Farm Share! Our farm wouldn't exist without you, and we're so happy to be a source of food to nourish you. 
 
With huge gratitude ~
Janet, Dan, and the whole Broadfork crew (Julie, Jen, Leah, Erica, Siera, Alisa, Austin, Clara, Nathan, and the farm kids)
