First Saturday of the season!!!

Beautiful weather... getting in the groove.
Introducing a new bread is always exciting. "Potato" is the new babe on the block.
The recipe was given to us by our good friend Bill. He scrutinized the first loaves and has finally given his approval. Dense and full bodied, makes excellent sandwich slices and incredible toast.

2009 New Season for Peace & Loaf...

3am.... the alarm goes off, the artist residency is over, the holidays are over and yes, it is January 7th, 2009 and it's time to get up and make good bread. We stumbled a little through the house trying to adjust to our new baking schedule and hopped inside the jeep on the way to the bakery. I-Pod blasting Joan Baez and 500 miles, the mixer going, the logs in the oven, sponges being made, dough being pounded down and bread was on its way. 9 am arrived before we even noticed... the gate was open and familiar faces came strutting in with a smile and the "2 cinnamon rolls with lots of glaze, please" usual request. Ahhh... life is good!

It's all about the bread...

It's all about the bread... it's all about the flour... it's all about the
kneading... it's all about the rising... and it's all about love. The art of baking brings us close to the earth. It is one of the simplest rudimentary tasks to be made.
Bread has been made for centuries and it has been the source of survival for generations. It's a noble business and we love it!

Grupo Tortuguero at Peace and Loaf

Patricia Baum and her team of helpers came every Saturday morning to Peace and Loaf and set up their meeting corner. Visitors could come and get information on how to help and support their ecologically minded group. Whether to help with the turtle release program or their new recycling effort.

The Peace and Loaf Family Continues.

The Peace and Loaf Family.

Every morning as we turned the music on and opened the doors at Peace and Loaf we heard people chatting, laughing and walking in for a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll. Or simply, to buy a loaf of bread. These people, our customers became a familiar site for us. As the weeks went by we got to know them better. People made connections, exchanging information,
construction, hiking and shopping tips. It felt a little bit like a big happy family.

The Bus

At the beginning the Peace and Loaf VW van was seen cruising the Todos Santos streets loaded with bread to sell door to door.
