Once upon a time, Josie Rudderham had a garden.  And during that time, she decided to open a bakery with her friend Nickey Sherman.  This, understandably, took up tremendous amounts of time, and with the busy-ness of life came the weeds in the garden.  We interns decided to help out, as it would benefit not only Josie and Nickey, but the bakery, and those who get to enjoy the baked goods (you, me, the person next to you, your next-door neighbour, etc.)!  

Below is one of several Cake & Loaf gardens, featuring the lovely weeding handiwork of Suzanne and Julia:

Suzanne working hard!

What beautiful greens!

A sneak peek at some of the delicious crops!

It may seem like we've been working on this bakery FOREVER (believe me it does to us!) but real progress is being made and those of you that live in the area know they are several fine men there working their butts off everyday.  We've almost completely converted the landscaping to edible plants, the new footings and beam have been installed, framing is complete, all new electrical and plumbing has been installed as well as 2 new HVAC systems.  Our walk-in fridge is installed and the equipment is slowly starting to arrive.  Looks like we might be open the first week of July but we are done making promises on the date.  We've learned not to tempt fate.
