“For the past 8 years, under the Minnesota Cottage Food Law, my husband, Stephen, and I have been selling bread and pastry out of our home regularly and also at summer farmers markets weekly and special events. Our mission is to provide good bread for our neighbors. As we do so, we desire to build a business that seeks the good of our community as it nourishes the people who live in it.”
– Elizabeth Naglak, owner
The Project
Bread in the Meadow will use grant funds to construct a commercial bakery, to increase bread production and open new markets for good, wholesome bread.
Environmental Impact
Forty percent of their flour and 100% of whole grains and seeds are certified organic and sourced from Minnesota. Bread in the Meadow always purchases local eggs and uses 100% local fresh fruit. The new kitchen will have energy-efficient utilities, including in-floor heat and a tankless water heater.
