I’m sure our regulars have noticed that all our prices have gone up this week. I really wish we didn’t have to do this. In the last 18 months we have increased wages by 20%. Packaging and freight has increased by 25%. Wheat has increased 35%, Gas has increased by 105%. My generation doesn’t remember a time when prices have changed like this before. We hope you understand our 9% price increases. Thanks. Prairie Boy.

The bread we source from them is 100% organic, vegan, and although not certified gluten free, it is double fermented for 24-hours. The fermentation process helps deactivate the gluten proteins, making it much more digestible!

Pretty in October, soul sucking in March
Some mornings get off to a rough start. This was the scene by our Geary shop 30 minutes ago. No one hurt but still a rough start to the day.

It was a busy day in Dorset yesterday. Our 1st market/pup up of 2020. It was glorious to see you all and despite a tech glitch we think it went pretty well. Thanks to everyone who came out to get some treats and at times waited very patiently, Kristin for helping all day and to our gracious hosts Tara and Cait Love.

Here’s a little video Grant sent me this sunny morning to show me (Lainie) what things look like now. Xavi and I are on day 13 Quarantine because we were away and we havnt seen each other or any of the physical changes in the bakery. 6’ sidewalk stencil markers, the front blocked off, fridges moved so customer can see it, bread on a rack in the window, high plexi to keep as much separation as possible. It’s a lot of change and work... but it looks great! On top of all these changes that Grant made, we’ve got a skeleton crew and he is back baking a few days a week, doing all the grocery store deliveries and then helping out with foh or kitchen tasks AND running the business. This has put ridonkulous pressure on everyone but I just gotta send some ‘Way to go!’ Vibes and praise to the hardest working guy I know. Thank you Grant for adapting so quickly and for making everything still look nice while continuing to make such beautiful bread and food for our community. ❤️ Can’t wait til you can come home. #seeyoutomorrow #whataguy #bravo #groceryshopping #change #we’llgetthruthistogether #proud
When someone really gets you 🥰 #repost #Repost @nutbar.co with @get_repost ・・・ big bread news🍞 ⚡️ you can now find all of our toasts once again made on 100% organic fluffy sourdough from @prairieboybread. our standards are high for our bread supplier because we need something that contains only organic ingredients, is fermented to make it more digestible (this one is for 24hours!), contains no additives or preservatives and has no white sugar or white flour (even in the sourdough starter.) the ingredients of this loaf meet all our criteria and are so clean and wholesome: kamut, rye, buckwheat, wheat, sourdough culture, yeast, sea salt, water. ♻️oh and another thing we wanted to share! wholesale bread typically comes in single use plastic bags but in an effort to reduce waste, we are saving all of the bags they are delivered in and giving them back with the next delivery so they can be reused. thanks for being the best @prairieboybread
More than bread. We’re loaded up with goodies @soraurenmarket today! Come grab dinner.
