raisin spelt bread returns!

Hello,
I had a sample of your experimental raisin spelt bread at the Beaverton Farmer’s market, and am wondering where I can purchase it? Every time I go back to the market it hasn’t been available. It was absolutely delicious!
Thank you for your help,
Jenn


I just brought that variety back to the market this last week, due to demand. it is one of those varieties that has given me trouble--doesn't always look as nice and pretty as I'd like--so I had to shelve it for a bit. It will be at farmers' markets for the rest of the season, but I don't imagine I will have a whole lot of loaves available. So my advice is to come early!

but what if I had to ride a less-spendy bike?

Our first time ever riding mountain bikes--Denise and I had the good fortune of riding some pretty amazing bikes. The one I was riding costs $7100, and it was a beauty. Nobody got hurt because we rode like old folks. Had a really great time at Moutain Bike Oregon this past weekend.

Here is our friend Mason, who became disoriented while riding and somehow wound up falling off his bike and into the ice-cold water--without a stitch of clothes on! The rest of the photos are not fit for this family blog, but I have filed them away in case I ever need a special favor. (He just kept saying "but it really is cold in that water...really!)

spelt may be the answer





Dear Dave,
Was fortunate to see you on the AM Northwest show. Found your great website.
I have god-awful arthritis in my hands. Accidentally discovered that wheat bread really sets it off.
Suspect it is the gluten in the bread.
What breads of yours (they all sound wonderful) would you suggest might be better for me?

I will most appreciate any help you can give me.


Thanks,
Patti


Hi Patty…lots of people with wheat and gluten sensitivities have found my Good Seed Spelt bread works well for them. It is not for celiacs, since it does contain gluten. However, spelt is a great alternative for lots of people. Hope that includes you!

bridge pedal participants speak!




Hello

I was an early rider on the Bridge pedal and got a sample heading up the Marquam bridge. I liked your product SO much I took more than what I should have, sorry.

I do my major shopping at Winco on Cedar Hills Blvd (I have three teens and can't afford regular shopping at New Seasons, etc. ) I presume Winco might not choose to carry your bread. BUT I do buy specialty bread and produce items at Bales Thriftway at Cornell/Saltzman and also at the QFC at Bethany/Laidlaw.

I hope to see your products there soon, I will be a customer, I swear! Great stuff!!!!

Robin

Hey Robin: Check out Bales Thriftway. They have a pretty good selection of DKB. Dave


Hi Dave,

I met you and tasted your awesome bread at the Providence Bridge Pedal last Sunday. I checked your website after the ride and was excited to learn that it is available here in Eugene at several markets.

Yesterday when I received your email offering the coupon for a loaf of Peace Bomb, I subscribed to your newsletter. I received my coupon -- thank you -- but I must say I am disappointed that it is only redeemable at your bakery in Portland. Is there a way those of us who live out of town can enjoy this offer as well?

Sincerely,

Pam




Nope. but perhaps when I'm down there for the UofO Street Faire (again) next month, I'll have a similar offer to make up for it. I like you Lane County folks, too!
Dave




Thanks for the doing the Bridge Pedal!!! I found you at the Farmers market and love the bread and am spreading the word.

Mr. Dahl:
I just passed through your website and will take some time to read your story. Thank you in advance for taking the time to give some historical context and I congratulate you on your current successes.
However this has all come together for you, I would like to thank you
for some amazing breads that I have consumed over the last 9 months.
I stumbled across them at a sampling at Pastaworks and fell in love immediately.
I just wanted to let you know that I became a fan immediately and wish you much continued success. mmmm...good!!

Thanks,
Patrick

PS: Not sure if it was the elevation of the Marquam Bridge, the freshness of the sample, or my oxygen debt at that point but the sample I had was to die for. I want more.
I hope you can make it over to NatureBake by Sunday to get your free Peace Bomb!
Dave
Your bread rocks. I'm glad I started the ride early and got a sample. I've had it before but forgot how good it was... Will look out for it.Thanks

dave's killer bread...AM Northwest...somebody pinch me!

Just when I thought life was great, it got better. I never dreamed of this. After Willamette Week's Byron Bender mislabeled me as a "killer" (honest mistake--no hard feelings, Byron!) on this show a couple of weeks back, our friend, Mason West called them and asked if we could set the record straight by giving me time to tell the real story. I didn't know he had done it until last Friday afternoon when he called me as my hands were full twisting up 120+ CinnDawgs for last weekend's farmers' markets.
"You're on AM Northwest, fool," he chortled. "Next Tuesday...get your @#@$#% ready!" The short notice was good news to me. It's better not to think about such things too much. You know, just do what I always do: tell it like it is.

It was a great experience...watch the clip:

dave's killer bread makes marquam bridge debut




Setting up for the Bridge Pedal event, for which we were sponsors last Sunday morning.












Is Jenny a killer? No way, but the bread was, and so was the weather...



...and the view from the bridge.

Denise on the prowl.


A well-deserved rest for the troops--and nobody fell off the bridge. Thousands of riders got a taste of Dave's Killer Bread. A lot of the riders weren't in the best of spirits when they got to us, due to the traffic bottlenecks they'd endured. But most of them were hungry, and none seemed the least disappointed with what we had to offer.






lisa rocks the "good seed" shirt

Maybe you've seen our new t-shirts, the ones with the big "Good Seed" logo on the front, and "Just Say No to Bread on Drugs" above the dkb logo on the back. We also have spaghetti-strap tank tops with the same artwork on them.

Lisa, who works at First Alternative Co-op in Corvallis, was kind enough to model one for us. She sent me these photos, doing her part to make the world a better place.

If you can come by NatureBake (503.335.8077), you can get one of these babies (the shirt, not the model) for ten bucks. Otherwise, check out our new website, where we ship the regular t-shirts for $12 and the ones shown here for $15.
