 Well, farmers’ market season is over for another
year. Sounds like I’m a seasoned hand by
now, and I feel like it, even though Stahl’s has only participated in one
season (so far). Four markets in a week helps that ‘long-time veteran’ feeling along though. As autumn shakes summer away, and winter
closes in, it’s fun to look back at pictures and remember how great the last
few months have been. It’s an
interesting trick of photography that lets you remember the smiles without the
sweat – there were some pretty hot & humid days this summer, plus the physical work of loading tent, tables, food, signage, etc. four
times per day; into the truck, out at the farmers’ market, back into the truck
at closing, and back out into the bakery! Thanks to so many new customers, taking things back was much easier -
the baked goods were gone. Also giant
thanks to family & friends who pitched in with everything from getting
equipment and supplies, booth delivery & setup, storesitting, to keeping me company at the
markets. They made it possible to have two ‘storefronts’ going at the same
time; Margaret, Fred, Patty, Doug, Hannah, Maddie, Ben, Charles, Michelle, Lindsey, Richelle, and
Becky. Don’t make any plans for next
summer, guys; you’ve been pre-approved.

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Stahl’s Bakery Blog! Hopefully we’ll be updating fairly regularly. Another thing I’m looking forward to with
this medium is inviting friends of the bakery, investors, and employees to
contribute their opinions and points of view; after all, don’t we all have
something to say?
For now, though, I just wanted to send out a giant public “Thank
You!!” to Brandon Tidd & Shane Kardos. Brandon was our first
webmaster, and many of his contributions have been dovetailed into this new
website. Brandon
has since graduated KSU and is now winning awards in his radio career over at Akron’s
WKDD. Shane Kardos, co-owner of Logos
Bookstore in Kent
(and our current webmaster), has set up this new web incarnation, and is
graciously sharing space on the Logos server.
Don't forget to sign up for the Stahl's 411, our e-newsletter. Bakery news, baking trivia, and occasional coupons right in your inbox.
In the meantime, if you want to know what’s going on in the
bakery, but the blog hasn’t been updated…..stop on by. The food’s much better in person than online!
Thanks for visiting! Cary, Baker
