This question seems rhetorical, because we all know how fresh bread tastes, but let’s get into it anyways, because I love any good excuse to talk about bread!
So, let‘s set the scene. You’ve taken the plunge, to pick up a fresh loaf of bread from your local baker, it smells amazing the whole way home, you slice it up into sandwiches, toast it, have some garlic bread, or just straight with butter.
Doesn't that alone make your mouth water?
Then, you realize that in a world of consumerism, you’re supporting a local business owner…and that’s just the start of it. Let’s dive into all of the amazing reasons why you need fresh-baked breads and other goods from a local baker instead of a big box store.
Flavor? We know her. 😋: Okay, let’s be real, we know that the big stores aren’t always serving up fresh baked goods. Most of the products come pre-frozen and sit on the shelves for days. When you buy from a local baker, not only are your baked goods extremely fresh - but you can taste the handmade quality. For example with fresh local sourdough, you get tanginess, nuttiness, and a hint of sweetness – each bite is a flavor adventure. Your basic sliced bread just can't compete!
Gut-Friendly Vibes 💖: Local sourdough has got your back. The natural fermentation magic that goes on in your local baker (aka A Girl With Nice Buns)’s sourdough starter is unreal. It’s an ecosystem of good bacteria. Not to mention, with all of her bakes you receive true ingredient transparency - no mystery ingredients on her labels.
No Preservatives, Real Bread 🌿: Who needs all those unable to translate additives and preservatives? Not us! Here at A Girl With Nice Buns we keep it real with their fresh-baked sourdough – pure, preservative-free, and ingredients you understand - flour, salt, water.
Support a Small Business 💕: Supporting local businesses is supporting a healthy and diverse community. Unfortunately, when small businesses aren’t given the community support to grow you’re left with a slew of chains and factory and no true artisinal offering. Buying from your local Microbakery helps protect this process. We use high quality ingredients, boost the neighborhood economy, and spread that little bit of luxury to every doorstep.
Support an artisan 🎨: Imagine how it feels to work with your hands, to make each item on your stove, it feels important and it tastes better because you worked hard on it. Now imagine each croissant or loaf of bread, hand shaped, and baked by a real person. Microbakeries take their craft seriously. It's not just bread; it's a masterpiece. Artisan bakers pour their heart and hands into every loaf, and you can taste the love. Let’s keep the craft of bread.
Save the planet (a little bit): When you support a local bakery, you support a reduction in factories and if it’s A Girl With Nice Buns, you receive more sustainable packaging. We try our hardest to utilize minimal plastic in our production and packaging. We keep small label sizes, serve bread in almost entirely paper bags, and use multiuse washable baking products. The best part is all of our packaging can be recycled. You can enjoy food that’s good for you and better for the planet.
You’ve got a friend in me: Ever walked into a bakery, and they know you by name? That's what you get from working with a local baker. Here at A Girl With Nice Buns you’re a part of our community the moment we connect, I love getting to know each person, their preferences, and how I can serve them better.
Long story short, supporting a small local bakery business makes a difference in the community, in the baker’s life, and in yours. Together, we can appreciate the craftsmanship of fresh baked goods, and enjoy the benefits ingredient transparency offers.
Next time you’re shopping for bread or croissants or other baked goods, take a chance on A Girl With Nice Buns. I’d be honored for the chance to serve you!
