Vermont bread story on US National Public Radio

NPR story about a wood-fired oven, a sourdough starter, a couple who is retiring (he's 90 and she's 73) and baking bread for a Vermont farmers market for 37 years. This is so sweet on so many levels. I want to inherit this oven and the schmatte technology. So great a read (or click and listen to the story). http://ow.ly/AAqJv

I half think the Vermont couple lived the dream and half can't figure out how anyone can make 100 breads a day or a week and not be in a constant state of panic. Now, muffins are easy. So far, each bread is like a baby - unique and needing attention.
