Small Scale Bakery

Here is a link to an interesting article I found on the web.  This baker uses whole grains, sourdough, and sells his product at the local farmers market and by subscription.  I haven't tried his bread but I will at the next opportunity.  Prairie19

Farmers Market Requirement


Does anyone else have a problem with breads that are sold at farmers markets being required to be sold in covered plastic bags?  My area is finally catching up with the times with farmers markets sprouting up across town.  

Friends have been trying to encourage me to sell my sourdough baguettes at one of the markets.  Although I could use the opportunity, I do not want to sell bread wrapped in plastic bags - it is like making the farmers sell their vegeys in plastic bags -condensation would spoil it!  In the case of the bread, it would ruin the crispness and freshness of the crust.
