Our last week of regular pop up service was busy and hectic and flew by so fast! Here’s a little recap of how things went:
Last Wednesday, we were so happy to be part of the Harvest Dinner put on by , a fully vegan and free community dinner at . Thank you to everyone who volunteered and all the other chefs who donated food to this wonderful event 💚
Thursday and Friday were our last two days at our lunch counter at . Spending the last year slinging lunch from inside this warm beautiful always smelling so good little big bakery has been so amazing, and allowed us to grow our customer base more than I could’ve imagined. It did kinda break my heart every time I had to tell a customer about our hiatus, but the support everyone has shown us has been incredible and overwhelming.
Our Saturday pop up outside the Old Dutch Church flew by in a frickin second, with more pre-orders than we’ve ever had. We started in May 2021 just popping up on Saturdays outside the church, then adding Fridays, then moving to Thursdays and Fridays across the street at . Our Saturday “market adjacent” pop up (as we called it) was such a great way to get in front of people and tell them about what we were trying to do - provide affordable, seasonal, locally sourced, vegan lunches.
Saturday flew by but then we headed back in the kitchen to put together our final meal for the community members who gather at . We had so much fun serving another Harvest Meal after Sunday service to close to 100 people at the church. We could not have done everything we accomplished over the last few years without the support of Pastor Rob, Jean, Chester, and everyone else who shared the kitchen with us. It felt really fitting to end our week with one final meal for the church members and more.
We’ve got one final gig this week cooking up lunch for the thanksliving volunteers at (another group whose support has been immense, incredible, and so appreciated). I’ll probably make one more post this week and then lay low for a while, so stay tuned and check back with us in the new year!
