Week of April 27th

My dear community members,

You may or may not have noticed the sourdough bread option disappear from the store. Wendy, the owner of Deux Bakery, mentioned that every loaf that leaves her bakery is made by hand with much attention to detail. Our magnified orders became too overwhelming and we need to cap the number of loaves. Wednesday is now full but we still have availability for Thursday/Friday deliveries. Each week we will put a certain number in the store (aside from subscriptions) for purchase and they will be available until reserved. However, if you have a Thursday/Friday delivery please contact me as we probably can add it even if you don’t see it in the store or as a subscription option.

Human error factor: last week we missed several items in the Juice Feast so we are going to bulk those up this week. We are serious about veggies and want you to know that even though the company has expanded, you should still expect your box to be loaded with goodness. Thanks for understanding and please keep in contact if anything goes missing from your box.

Find gratitude in the little things.
