RETAIL DELIVERY
We often get the question "When are you going to open a store in ___?" Well, we're not quite ready to open another location, but we think we can do the next best thing - a monthly retail delivery! AND, the first location we want to try is Gwinnett County, GA in the Buford area!

NEW ON LINE CO-OP ORDERING SYSTEM
For years, we have used spreadsheets to collect co-op orders. Members called or emailed their list to a coordinator, who then put it into a custom spreadsheet and sent it to us. There were plenty of opportunities for missed communications, missed deadlines, typo's, etc, etc.
With the new system, each member registers in one co-op, then inputs their own order. Each quarter, when Bread Beckers "opens" the order cycle, each member who has registered will get an email from the system. The system will also keep track of what was ordered and what was finally shipped. There will also be history reports, so each member can see what they ordered before.
It is basically an online spreadsheet - you just scroll down a list, put the qty next to the item you want, then click the "add/save" button. There are no confirmations, submissions, etc. As long as the order cycle is open, you can make all the changes you want - you don't have to contact the coordinator to say you forgot this, or don't want that - you just change it!
Of course, if you only have email access, or have troubles with your connection, the coordinator can still input or edit the order.
All communications, deliveries, payments, etc are still through the coordinator - we're just trying to streamline the order taking process.
Contact your coordinator to see how to register, and use it! Not in a co-op, go to our co-op page and find one near you!

We will demonstrate milling flour, mixing quick breads, kneading bread dough, either by hand or machine, shaping the dough, making quick cereals, and even tortillas.
And best of all - you get to taste everything we make!! We will demonstrate the Wonder Mill, NutriMill, Bosch Kitchen Machine, the Ankarsrum Original Mixer, Zojirushi Bread Machine, Tribest Personal Blender, and the ChefPro Tortilla press.
Lots of information presenting the endless possibilities of baking with whole grains.
NOTE: If you already own a copy of our "Recipe Collection" (the RED cookbook), it would be a good idea to bring it to take notes and mark-up some recipes with helpful information you will hear in the class. If you don't have a copy (or forget to bring one), we do have plenty for sale in the store!
