Hello everyone,

Unfortunately we’ve had even more devestating news in that the completion date for the SCD site has been pushed back until towards the end of May. We’re obviously gutted as this creates even more uncertaintly for us financially as the goal post is moved back yet again.

We are forever indebted to Chloe from Verbena for letting us use her space since the start of March, however she is selling the building and so next week will be the last week we’ll be selling from there. We are now on the hunt for somewhere new to sell out of throughout May, as the agonising wait for a firm completion date continues - any suggestions drop us a message!

Opening times for next week at Verbena (1474 Pershore Road, Birmingham B30 2NT):

• Wednesday 22nd April 12-3pm

• Thursday 23rd April 12-3pm

• Friday 24th April 12-3pm

• Saturday 25th April 11am - 2pm

We are also so grateful to Pip for giving us the opportunity to sell our products at the Birmingham Artisan Markets this weekend! So just a reminder you can find us at:

• Saturday 18th April 10-3 Golden Square, Jewellery Quarter

• Sunday 19th April 10-3 Bournville Green, Bournville

  Please come and say hi - the team need all the moral boost we can get at the moment!!

  

➡️ Click HERE to pre-order bread and buns for Wednesday till Saturday. We have Rye bread again!!! Tell your friends, tell your neighbours, tell everyone!!

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.

➡️ You can email info@loaf.coop to pre-order lunch (menu below).

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

Thanks so much to STEAMHOUSE, Verbena and Birmingham Artisan Markets for offering us their spaces! We don’t know what we would do without your help! 💛 💛 💛

Once again thank you all for your unwaivering support through this tricky time. We are doing everything we can behind the scenes to ensure that we can hold on long enough to move into the SCD when we get the green light to!

If you can spare anymore change, our Crowdfunder is still open and we are heavily dependent on the donations being made (whilst trying to save enough to cover start up costs in the new building). Any help you can give really does make all the difference to the longevity of Loaf 💛 💛 💛

See you soon!
