Breadness Buzz - Lake Balboa Springtime Event, Easter Essentials, Heat Wave...

NOTE: If this is your first Breadness Buzz, or you've been part of our tribe but missed earlier posts, visit the Breadness Buzz Archive here and catch up on some Breaducation written especially for you. It's a great way to meet like-minded artisan sourdough aficionados and be part of this journey I started back in 2016. And now for this week's Buzz...

Lake Balboa Springtime Event

Back in October 2019, Cyndie and I set up a Random Acts of Breadness booth in Janice Berridge's back yard. Janice runs a spa business in Lake Balboa (Van Nuys adjacent) and that event was called "In the Neighborhood." It seemed like a good way to introduce our Breadness concept to new people, and it was the start of our Breadness mailing list.

RANDOM ACTS OF BREADNESS 2019, LONG BEFORE WE EVER HAD A BRICK & MORTAR!

We didn't sell anything at that event. I had made organic Artisan Sourdough Bread and a large pot of organic, Plant Paradox-friendly Chicken Pot Pie Filling. We gave a sample cup of the pot pie and bread to dozens of attendees and offered a raffle prize of a full loaf to the winner of our drawing held later.

It was a LOT of work. It was also a LOT of fun!

Janice has invited us back time and time again, but we just haven't been able to take her up on the offers because her events are on a day the bakery is open to the public and we need to be there to help our customers.

But this time, I decided that Cyndie and Alyssa could cover the bakery and I'll take the Breadness show on the road. We've got a booth tent, table, phone app for accepting card payments, a mini-version of Breadness TV that runs in a 15" photo frame, and a nice collection of products to sample and sell!

It's gonna be a LOT of work but I expect, like last time, it's also gonna be a LOT of fun!

If you live in the Lake Balboa vicinity and/or know people who do, please visit Breadness (with your friends) at this boutique event, Saturday, May 3rd, 12 to 6 p.m. The address is 6716 Ruffner Ave., Lake Balboa 91406.

There'll be lots of artisans with unique items (see list below) and it will be something different and fun to do on that Saturday afternoon.

See you at Springtime in the Neighborhood on May 3rd!

Easter Essentials...
April 20th is Easter Sunday and although it's only 10 days away, now's the time to think about what you'll need to make your family meals extra special. Consider our Artisan Sourdough Rolls, Raw Farms Butter (2 kinds), Cinnamon Raisin Maple Pecan and/or Chocolate Sourdough for Easter Breakfast French Toast, or slices slathered with Yemetz Family Orchards' Organic Skinless Almond Butter and one (or more) of 16 Amazing Jams!

And we've got a full rack of our Sourdough Flatbreads (we call 'em Crisps!) in Naked, Tuscan Herb, Applewood Smoked, Cinnamon Raisin Maple Pecan, and Chocolate varieties! Great for appetizers or as healthy snacks.

Come by and get a taste of them all!
