small bakery

I'm interested in opening a small bread bakery. So far all my baking is done from two ovens in my kitchen. Customer base is growing (this is all legal where I live) and I am thinking about expanding but want to move slowly so I do it right without putting myself in financial danger. I'd like to volunteer my time for a week or two in a small bread bakery on the East Coast--whether or not I"m allowed to actually make bread. I just want to experience all that's in a commercial bakery--from flour to dough to oven.
