Our friends over at @moonvalleyfarm are having their yearly signup for both the 50 week “perennial” share and the 25 week “peak season” share. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Farmer Emma and the whole crew over the last year and love to watch them continue to grow and flourish. Farmers Emma’s story of starting her farm on small piece of land with a baby strapped to her back and a young toddler to now operating a full scale farm in Woodsboro is an inspiring journey. Even when I am dropping off bread at 6:30am and Emma is out packing up share boxes or loading delivery trucks her passion is shining bright.
If you have been on the fence on joining a CSA let me help you. There is no better way to support local farmers while getting the freshest food money can buy. Did I mention it shows up on your doorstep every week?
You can thank me later!

We went out on a limb this holiday and shared a bread that is outside of our normal offerings. Our Kamut, Whole Wheat and Chestnut Flour with Pecan, Walnut and Cranberry was built to be dense, rich and hearty.
We wondered how our bread community was going to take to it. It is a VERY different bread then our normal open tender crumb. We looked at it as a good litmus test for the communities hunger to explore new flavors and textures. We are very passionate about traditional bread yet our offering doesn’t always reflect that. We know the community appreciates the bread we make so we are careful to stay in service to those we bake for and not become too focused on what we want. I have felt very strongly about our role as a Community Supported Bakery since the very beginning . We are here to humbly support the health, wellbeing and happiness of our community through bread.
I am happy to share we have been receiving great feedback on the bread from the community. Our takeaway is we feel more comfortable exploring more traditional breads with everyone.
We look forward to exploring many new regional and historic breads with everyone in 2022.
From @jay_gets_baked, myself and the whole @twinbearsbakery family. We wish you a sincere thank you. None of this would be possible without your support.

❤️🥖❤️

New Grain in the Mill!
Khorosan AKA Kamut had a beautiful creamy color. It is a strain of wheat but it’s kernels are HUGE. They are twice the size of most hard red wheats that have passed through this mill.
I have been wanting to play with this type of wheat for some time now. We are hoping the source for these grains pans out and we can share this rich and buttery wheat with everyone.
This grain is jumping to the front of the line in the test kitchen because we are pumped to play with it!
Stay tuned for more details!

Olive Oil and Sesame Sourdough Sandwhich loaves heading to @neighbors.lbg . They are the first folks to get their hands on these loafs mid week. Up until now these were only available at the farmers market. With all the work they do supporting local farmers and makers it was an obvious move for us to hook them up. Shoot over there and grab a freshie loaf and some local veg. They are also fully stocked on our Classic Country style sourdough if thats how you want to get down.
Happy bread day #leesburgva

When a new vendor shows up @thefrederickcitymarket

When a new vendor shows up @thefrederickcitymarket with ice cream sandwiches you eat one. Even if it’s 10am.
The burnt butter pumpkin ice cream sammy was 💯🔥❤️. The home made ice cream definitely was a game changer. All the vendors agree @sweethollowbakery should definately join the crew!

It starts Friday night with flour pre-weights and ends with our Sunday morning bake. @thefrederickcitymarket is definitely one of our favorite days of the week. This weeks bake is looking extra nice. We will have all our normal players

The humble Olive Oil & Sesame Sourdough Sandwich L

The humble Olive Oil & Sesame Sourdough Sandwich Loaf.
If you visited us at the farmers market you have probably heard me mention that you should try it. Slowly it’s fan base has been building. Last market was the first market it sold out first. It may look basic next to the hearth loaves but if you peak in our bread box at home don’t be suprised if you find a Sammy Loaf in there. It’s a solid workhorse that makes a killer sandwich, grilled cheese or covered with @hippychickhummus and your favorite topping.
Up until now it has only been available at the sunday farmers market but rumor is there are a couple of loaves making an appearance at @neighbors.lbg on Saturday. Don’t sleep on it!

Hey everyone!
We have been working through the deets but now we are happy to make it public. We have partnered with @neighbors.lbg as a pick up location for our bread. Neighbors is a market dedicated to supporting local farmers, makers and artisans. You can imagine how stoked we are to support their mission.
We are also super proud to be sharing space shelf space with the Mid-Atlantic dark bake ambassador and all around artisan @le.gouterbread .
We are humbled to be welcomed into the fold with these folx. Neighbors has the most amazing produce and goods and Le Gouter Bread is 🔥🔥🔥.

Hey #Breaderick!
Guess what?
Wednesday means we are back in stock at @commonmarketcoop ! Fully stocked in both locations! Come and snag a loaf while you can!
Mondays and Tuesdays giving you the no bread blues? We get it! The good news is many customers slice our bread and freeze it and eat it all week. Take a slice out, pop it in the toaster and *poof*. Toasty hot goodness all week long!

If you are looking for some bread these beautiful loaves are at #commonmarketcoop right now! Fresh baked this morning and looking extra 🔥🔥🔥.

Baker Notes:
The weather has been perfect for the bakery lately. It’s a nice break from the high humidity which always poses a huge challenge. We are starting to settle into a rhythm with the new hearth stones. The finish and consistency’s really improving. We are still adjusting temps and times slightly but we are only making adjustments one or two degrees at a time now.

Just wanted to share a special thank you to all our customers and our partners @commonmarketcoop and @moonvalleyfarm .
We were able to invest in some upgraded hearth stones for the ovens.
To achieve the finish and consistency we want in our bread it took ALOT of work. These new stones make a huge impact. Without everyone’s support this wouldn’t have been possible!

Thank You from the whole #twinbearsbakery crew

Today’s quality control started like any other m

Today’s quality control started like any other morning. Me covered in flour, grabbing a just cooled loaf of bread, cutting it open, eating half the slice plain and half with butter. I take a picture of the crumb and compare to the few hundred other crumb pictures I have while tasting the bread.
Today’s Twin Bears bread I just what I have come to exapect from our bread, delicious crust,tender crumb and balanced flavor. Judging it by our standards this is an excellent loaf of bread.

But this loaf is different….

This is the first Twin Bears production loaf that was mixed, developed and shaped by someone other then me. And by our standards it’s perfect.
@jay_gets_baked thank you for bringing your passion, hard work and knowledge to share with us. We look forward to many more days when the bakery is filled with your passion for sourdough.

Good Morning #Breaderick Stuff is moving along ni

Good Morning #Breaderick
Stuff is moving along nicely in the bakery this morning and the @thefrederickcitymarket menu looks STACKED!
I don’t even know where to begin…
-The Classic Country now has our in-house milled wholemeal flour! 😳
-The Sandwich loaf for this week is olive oil & seasame built with Appalachian White wheat. The tender crumb and sesame crust makes this weeks tin loaf 💯
-We are bringing some of our newest signature loaf The Real! It is built using 100% wholemeal flour we milled in-house 😱🤯 . With flour milled just yesterday this loaf is packed with flavor and nutrition. We are really excited to share this new loaf with our bread family.
- And of course we will be rocking the Moroccan Lemon and Rosemary!

Market is from 9-1pm
See you there!
