Hey all!
I’m looking for local, small business producers to use. I have a vision for my micro bakery that brings together more local artisans, other bakers, farmers, and producers.
I have been a pastry chef for 15 years and run a cottage food stand for the past 10. I am rebranding from the micro bakery I started in the cities and moving closer to my dream of a more community supported bakery that focuses around Fika (the Swedish tradition of taking a moment to enjoy the moment with your peers over coffee and treats) I hope to go commercial within the next few years but until then I will be using our small homestead in Glencoe we purchased almost 2 years ago to do what we can.
So I dream to offer a subscription model box to locals encasing products from my homestead and bakery and at least one item from another local. I also hope to switch to local ingredients to make my goods. What I’m in search of:
Coffee roasters
Meat (all kinds, cured would be phenomenal)
Egg farmers (for when my own hens, ducks, and quail don’t produce enough)
Dairy (must be pasteurized: milk, cream, kefir, butter, yogurt)
Cheese (cow, goat, sheep)
Artisans (open to anything!)
If you know of anyone or fit in the category yourself then comment or dm! Let’s work together to grow and be seen by more people! I’m just a small micro bakery right now, so my orders for your goods with be small. I’m still working out the details of the box, but I think I’d like to keep it around $10 for the colab portion of the monthly box that I’d end up selling for about $50. And if you’re interested in following the happenings of the curated boxes then also shoot me a DM so you can stay up to date as I work out the kinks and hopefully start this for December at the latest!
Thank you all!
