188: Your Personal Baker — A Bakery CSA
Watch baker Jen Ownbey whip up a batch of zucchini bread while she talks with Janaia about doing what she loves. Every week, members of her bakery CSA (community supported agriculture) get a handmade, local, mostly organic, and even personalized box of breads and bakery desserts. Jen talks about getting started, selling wholesale and at growers markets, plus the joys, lessons, and challenges of running a solo business. (www.8armsbakery.com)

Janaia & Robyn,
Great show!!! Really helpful for me as I am planning to establish a bread CSA in late Spring after I complete my wood fired Cob Oven and learn how to bake in it. Then I will be able to bake all summer without heating up our straw bale house!!!
Peace & Joy,
Josh

Hey Joanna, How great this is. Do you ever ship out of state? Couse I would like to be a shareholder if that is possible. I now live in Arlington, Texas. Let me know. I love the video with zuchinna bread!

My husband and I have started a CSB in Albany, NY! We use local, organic flours & other primarily local, organic ingredients.

Janaia, this is another one of those shows that I’ll watch over and over again! What a lovely woman in the video, and what she has accomplished is very inspirational.
Thank you for all you do to bring these stories out for us.
In troubled times like these it is so important for people to have examples of coping and success that they can turn to for inspiration.
thanks again!
