I am a baker myself and I live in The Netherlands and love to watch your videos, so I can see how bakers in other countries do their job. In the Netherlands we don't have farmers markets like you have (at least not that I know). We only sell out product in our shops and we also do deliveries. Another big difference with bakeries in America is that we mostly use yeast in our breads. Sourdough is not really popular in The Nteherlands (I think because its pretty expensive and takes a lot of time to make).
I noticed by the way you are constantly on the move, in the previous video, at set up, you have been around farmers markets in your past, it also demonstrates to anyone watching there/or here, your work ethic. And then once more, at the end of market, with your employee ( wish l knew her name, to be polite), you both are literally the last to leave, to reduce non sales, l guess. And a good neighbourly thing to do, is share those few items with your fellow vendors....They are after all your community. Btw that heat you live in would drive me nuts, you guys live in a desert ! I need to see and feel the snow so l will continue to live in Poland.
Have you looked into outsourcing the distribution of your products to the different markets? Pay someone who owns their truck and just delivers them to the market, have one or two of your crew members waiting there. By doing this, you offload the cost of owning a truck or a fleet of trucks and affords you more free time and sleep!
you need to build a cart like your bread cart to transport all of your stuff, so you don't have to carry stuff. move everything in its own cart before taking the weights off. Put hangers on the back of the bread carts to hang the tables on and other stuff. IT will make it easy to move stuff on the truck. think of the furniture carts. the ones that look like bookshelf's on wheels. or ever the big box. if all you had to do is to wheel everything around, then that would make it easy for setup and tear down. you can only carry so much at a time but a nice fitted cart at each locations then you would have to have less help to move the stuff in like 3 carts on and off the truck.
@@chefbasics8732 To clarify. After complaints they are forced to stop using their house/garage for the bakery. The business has to move before January 15th, but they do not have to move as far as I know. Googling "azcentral proof bread" on google should give you the article since I dont know the rules about linking to other sites in youtube comments.
The trick to taking down those pop-tents at the end is to stand on opposite sides from one another, lift it by the two bottom bars (that make a “V” in the middle), and walk towards each other! 😃 Watch your fingers when you get to the end, though! ;)
I've only made one loaf of bread and using pizza dough from the local super market. Not the same as what you do but its a start. I haven't gotten up the courage to try making bread from scratch yet a loaf or two at a time. for beg-gets i divert to the French bakery on the beach side. Yum Yum. One day i will try it with yeast and see how it goes. Not sure about sourdough bread and what it tastes like.I am watching your video's and find myself enjoying learning about your business and the whole bread making process. Its great you are using whole grains. I look forward to trying some of your bread if we are ever out in your neck of the woods again. Thank you
I read the article in the AZRepublic regarding your problems with your current location for the bakery. I hope downtown Mesa works out for you as a new location. Maybe the Go Fund Me would work better for you this time around. We’ll donate if you go that route. We live in northeast Mesa but we love coming to the Gilbert Farmers Market even though it is a little further away.

Love your channel! Next time I drive through Arizona I'll be sure to pick up some of your bread. I've planned out a trip to pick stuff up, but I dont think I want to drive 12 hours just for bread. Regardless, youtube is great advertisement for your business, and im so glad I found you all. Ive heard that the UA-cam algorithm hates when people make multiple videos a day unexpectedly. I think what happens is that your audience watches one of your videos, get the content they want, then leave. UA-cam interprets this as your viewers only watching a fraction of your videos, which means that they are not interested in the majority of your content. This is really bad, even though you're only guilty of making too many good videos. I'm not sure which is a better idea: making four 30 minute videos or making a 2 hour video about the logistics of getting products to market.
3:03 It's because of the breakdown of local communities and community driven support in favor of larger government and government control. As the government becomes larger and larger it will only get worse. Unfortunately, you are dealing first hand with the consequences of an over reaching government with ridiculous rules and authority who simply cannot listen to common sense. It gets lost in the noise. They are forcing you to move because they don't have the capability to listen any longer. You broke a rule and that's that. You probably don't want to hear this but these are the consequences of left leaning politics. The right is much closer aligned with libertarian views....less government, less intrusion, more local control, more freedom basically.
Thank you for showing what it takes to run a business and not just baking! Your information applies to all small businesses!

all the best Amanda, we all love you and your family.
Thank you for taking us along on market day. 🥰
I greatly admire your positivity and work ethics. Prayers for your daughter and your family.

Thanks for the Weekend being able to hanging out with Proof. Pls consider next day air for day old bread:)
If we could only figure out how to make it more affordable.

We've got bakery in London and I love listening to your story and weall admire you a lot

You need stacking boxes for the smaller stuff for the final clean-up. Three people would have made the breaking things down process safer & easier.
How often do you sell in farmers markets? How many do you attend? Wow, congratulations you’re certainly a hard working family! Blessings
Do you use solar at your house/ bakery? I might help reduce your overhead over time. Prices have come down for panels and all the gear.
The city is forcing them to move out of their house. There was an article on azcentral.com this week about it.

Andreas Andersson still crappy either way.

I love the size of your loaves. Whats the ratio of your dough?

Look forward to getting some at the Gilbert Farmer's market.
You two are fabulous. Love your videos.
