Sunday AM + too hot for market = our cinnamon raisin walnut bread with a thick layer of grass-fed cultured butter for breakfast 🤌😘
Thought it was a good time to remind everyone that although the business is vegan, we are NOT vegan 👋
trying to dispel some assumptions and step more into who we ACTUALLY are without fear that it's going to tank our business
listen, we love every single one of our customers who subscribe to this lifestyle-- and more power to you for finding something that works for your body⚡I know better than many how long it takes to find a system of eating that actually works and the ethical issues behind food production/consumption
I started this business with these ever-evolving recipes to treat MY issues with gluten, eggs, casein, and uncultured dairy
"VEGAN" just became the easy catch-all phrase when I would say "oh we don't use eggs or dairy" and the response was always "so it's vegan" 🤷♀️
we've noticed that vegan has somehow become more of a political statement these days-- instead of being a marker of what type of food you're buying, it's become a marker for the people buying/making it
so we want to be honest with you guys in case you would like to take your business elsewhere, if you're inclined to think that way
we've lost customers over the years who don't appreciate that we bake vegan but are not vegan ourselves 🤷♀️ we get it and we never take it personally
and despite the explanation of MY body's journey in defense, it doesn't land well with people who may feel duped or manipulated
so like my post the other day about people taking advantage of the "WELLNESS" for $, I sometimes worry we're doing the same with VEGAN
not sure where we land with the description of the business or if the language is going to shift back to dairy- and egg-free but here we are...
messy little contradictions still making delicious baked goods
so please don't be surprised when our recommendation for topping the breads are goat cheese or cultured butter alongside nut butters and plant pestos ❤
we've got customers from all walks of life who come toward our food for many reasons-- we respect all of you
