Notes From The Bread Workshop Because of the converging trends of urbanization, globalization, and industrial models of agricultural production, most Americans today never see where or how the food they consume is produced. Our personal and cultural history teaches us that food and eating is supposed to be something that heals us, enriches our lives, and brings us together as family and community. But the reality of present day food consumption too often leaves us instead confused, scared, and harried about how and what to eat. We at the Bread Workshop love food. We like how it tastes, we like the individual people who still produce it and bring it to us and we are pleased ourselves when the people we serve also get pleasure from it. Most people at the Bread Workshop have children and we want to provide good, wholesome food that will bring our families together at meal time for all the positive social values that a shared meal can provide. We are committed to using high quality ingredients mostly from local, sustainable, farms and producers. We support fair trade sources for most imported goods and are committed to treating these ingredients in a safe, healthy manner. We are not ideologues. People fight constantly about what organic, natural, fresh, sustainable, and environmentally friendly mean. We will never be able to satisfy every customer's feelings about the choices we make and the ingredients we use. But we do promise to take these issues and our customer's concerns seriously and want to have an ongoing dialogue about why we make the decisions we do. To facilitate this we are creating a sustainability center in the cafe which we will use to present some of the information resources we use to shape our decisions for our customers to peruse. It is a place where customers can give us suggestions and feedback. The Bread Workshop believes in healthy, strong communities and good food. We are committed to having our business support both.
