Raising Funds for Haiti

Fairfield Bread Company was on hand at the Food4Haiti fundraiser yesterday at the Saugatuck Congregational Church. The event raised almost $10,000 to help feed the people of Haiti.

By 1 p.m., we'd almost sold out of The Flaxette, and needed to get back to the bakery. But who did we run into as we were leaving? Bread Baker Michael Mordecai's favorite TV Chef -- Daisy Martinez.

We hope there was a loaf of The Flaxette left by the time Daisy made her way to the bake sale table!

We get emails and telephone calls

It's so gratifying to know that people love Fairfield Bread Company's "The Flaxette." We get emails and telephone calls from people saying, "It's the most delicious bread I've ever had."

One morning, a woman we'd given a sample loaf to called asking where she could find it. She'd called every bakery in Fairfield trying to find it. Back then, we were still in pre-production, so she was out of luck. But now, people can find it in Fairfield at Adam's Bakery, The Pantry, Spic n Span in Southport Center, Harborview Market in Black Rock. And in Westport, at Garelick & Herbs. We'll be adding more outlets in the upcoming weeks. If you would like your local store to carry it, tell the store owners and managers, and drop us a line so we can follow up with them.

Last night we got another email. It said, "Thank you for the gorgeous loaf. It had just the right crunch and texture. Perfect for honey and cheese!"
