As most people that work in a food related field know, holidays can sometimes feel like they happen to other people- we may be closed on a particular holiday, but at least a few people from production have to work, if only to keep the levain fed and happy. If we’re only closed for one day, then a regular production crew comes in. 

This means that sometimes we address a few things holiday related post the actual holiday. Thanksgiving in the US has had a long and slightly varied history, from giving thanks for a successful harvest, to giving thanks for actually arriving in the, at that time, New World. In both cases, there is the sense of being appreciative for the good things that have come your way.  There can be a lot of effort and hard work going into achieving a goal, but there’s always something somewhat beyond our control that we end up grateful for going our way (philosophical or religious connotations are left to the reader). 

What are we thankful for?  In short- You, our customers.  We are deeply appreciative that we can make a living making and serving the food that we do, and that our community shops with us.  We work hard to earn your business, and are grateful for the opportunity to do so.

So, thank you, sincerely, and we wish you the best of times with friends and family this holiday season.

Now get out there and enjoy the afternoon- it’s sunny in our neck of the woods, which means a nice stroll might be in order (and then some hot tea and a croissant after!).
