Hello everyone,

Dorit here with the newsletter from Loaf. It will be a shorter one with nice pictures though.

We had a good 3 hour team meeting today and I feel the need to share a quote by one of my colleagues which we all loved during the check in with each other we do at he beginning of our meetings asking ‘How are you doing?’ He said ‘The forest is big and scary but the trees are our friends. And sometimes we just need to hug a tree.’

We are still in negotiations, hug a tree and keep your fingers crossed.

PS: There will be Vollkornbrot on Thursday and ‘regular Rye bread’ all week!

Eat Local with Tom Baker

Denise from Leverton & Hall sent us this lovely video after it showed up in her feed. It’s a short documentary from 2010 called ‘Eat Local’ showing next to others Tom Baker (the founder of Loaf) talking about buying and growing local produce in the West Midlands. It focusses on quality and local sourcing, community food traditions, benefits of local production, urban gardening and the rediscovery of lost skills. Even 16 years old it’s still interesting to watch, learn and get some inspiration.

Pre-order Info

➡️ Click HERE to pre-order bread and buns for Wednesday till Saturday. If you don’t want to pre-order that’s alright, we always have more to sell, but we try not to let anything go to waste, so pre-orders are very helpful.

At the moment we can offer every day for pre-orders: Large White Sourdough, Focaccia, Cobs, Cardamom Buns and Cinnamon Buns. Our bakers will always try to make other loaf varieties and buns as well, but need to decide every week or even in the morning what is possible with the limited time and space we have at the moment.

➡️ Cut-off time for all pre-orders is 11am on the day before pick up!

Thanks so much to STEAMHOUSE for their continued support in letting us use a corner of their bakery in Redditch - we honestly do not know what we would have done without their generosity. 💛 💛 💛

Thanks for all the continued support & see you soon!
