Getting Serious

   As my bread baking progresses, I am getting closer to having a "bread business". This week alone, I made corn bread muffins (to go with some turkey chilli we made) and two loaves of potato oatmeal bread. Both came out great! I made an extra loaf of the potato bread for a friend that's in town. So far, this bread is my favorite - very moist and chewy.
    I visited the new farmer's market on the Ocala downtown square this past weekend. It was awesome! There was fresh produce, baked goods, jewelry, genuine arts and crafts, and even plants for sale. I inquired about becoming a vendor and was ecstatic to find out the vendor space fee is only $20 and includes a tent! I would just need to bring tables and chairs. And bread of coarse! I plan on starting my sales in July and will include breakfast breads like the cinnamon apple crumb, carrot raisin, chocolate chip and then some sandwich breads like rye and sourdough. So excited!
   Also, my brother, who is a talented graphic designer, is helping me design a business logo. Once I get that banged out, I'll have business cards and packaging with my logo on it :) A facebook page will be the next step! Stay tuned and look for "Bread Moments" on the downtown square on Saturdays.
