I loved doing tastings at stores and events. It's great to share the Flaxette with people who've never tried it, and to hear their reactions. I especially love what children say when they taste the Flaxette.
Yesterday, a boy of 12 tasted a slice of the Flaxette and exclaimed, "Oh my God! This is outrageous!" He turned to his sister. "Let's tell Mom."
At the recent Food for Haiti event in Westport, CT, a ten-year-old boy, tore into the loaf his mother bought him like it was was a burrito. He returned to Fairfield Bread Company's booth about five minutes later. "Can we buy you out?" he asked. (Was this a phrase he'd heard his father use?) "Sure," we said, and his mother placed 8 loaves in her tote bag. Luckily, we were able to replenish our basket.
Yesterday, at Palmer's Market in Darien, a more judicious 5 year old boy, urged his mother, who had picked up the Flaxette, to buy an extra loaf. She did.
Our young friend Leila is also a fan of the Flaxette, which she calls "Michael's Bread." She knows what side her bread is buttered on. "May I please have another piece of Michael's bread," ususally works wonders on her parents.
What do your kids say about the Flaxette? We'd love to hear.
HI! We did an interview with you on Saturday for Hungry For Living TV at The Fairfield Farmers Market! I love the bread! YUM
ReplyDeleteSteve brought home a loaf of Flaxette.... I don't think I can ever eat another kind of bread again! Amazing. The best. Ever.
ReplyDeleteHi Michael-
ReplyDeleteI'm a bread-lover, baker, and committed floral foodie! How's that for a self-title? Ha! I've tried to figure out how to find a website or contact information- but it appears a blog comment will do. I am very interested in learning about your company and the magic that goes on behind the scenes! I would love to speak with you more about an apprenticeship -in the event that you have interest or a need for a few extra hands- I'd love to volunteer my time and passion! I look forward to hearing from you :)
