Why bake bread?
Here is an article in Bread Magazine [1] that is so thoughtful and powerful, and I think perfectly expresses why I bake bread for people in my community (and why I'm on the Board of an organization promoting the re-localization of our food system).
When bakers in their home kitchens and craft bakeries take the time to learn about the people who produce the ingredients they use, or think about their place in the long line of bakers, they participate in a peaceful but powerful revolution. A revolution that happens through rebuilding connections that once were commonplace but have since then been lost: between the grain and the loaf, the baker and the person who receives the bread, between generations.
