Laughing Tree Bakery of Hart
Greetings from Laughing Tree Brick Oven Bakery—
Hear ye! Hear ye! We will be baking for the coming weekend of 9/5 but we will NOT be baking for the following weekend of 9/12—so stock up this coming weekend if you are able! Our bread freezes beautifully… This is an unusual time of year for us to take a little break but we have some building projects pressing down upon us (including the installation of 4 new solar panels to power our bakery refrigerators), and we want to be sure to tackle them while the weather is still good. So we will see you this weekend of 9/5 and we will see you again on 9/19. Feel free to place an order for either of these weekends.
Also, if you haven’t yet tried the Big Country loaf, I encourage you just to go ahead and order one! We are making just 20 of these each week and they move fast… This loaf weighs around 2 pounds and is amazingly supple and moist even after several days. It’s flavor is rich and wheaty—with just a hint of rye. It’s come to be one of our everyday breads—a favorite for slicing thick and eating with soup or for loading up with tomatoes! We are honored to bake for you and your family! Because small good things matter.
