Maybe my favorite part of the whole process - dough development. There are many ways to get there and this one works for me.
Mixing up country loaves and more for the Williamstown Farmers Market this weekend. Saturday, 9am–1pm on Spring Street. Bread also heading to @redshirtfarm and @cricketcreekfarm as usual.

Last week’s Country Loaf looking pretty good. A little under-fermented but also felt safe. Ramping up production this week for the farmers market and will keep fine tuning.
See you Saturday on Spring Street, 9am–1pm.

Hey bread friends! We will be back on our regular scheduled deliveries starting FRIDAY 4/24!
And now for some fun and long overdue updates about the biz : )
Many of you know that Blue Grouse was started by two people, myself (Hannah Rossman) and my cousin, Ben Rossman. A little while back, Ben decided to venture out on his own to spread some more bread joy across the land. He ended up landing in Williamstown, MA and is just getting his new breadventure rolling @eastforkbread !!! We hope you’ll check out what he’s up to and seek out his business on the east coast. I wanted to share the news about the biz change up now that he’s settled and ready to feed you.
Meanwhile, we’re still chugging along here in Norwood. After Ben’s departure, I took on a new partner, Colby Brown. Colby came on as an employee right around the time my daughter, Nora, was born. He’s a super talented baker and a real nice guy to be around. He’s great, but prefers to hide behind the bread loaves than be front and center so you won’t find him on the social media platforms so much.
Thanks for your continued support of Blue Grouse in Colorado, and thanks in advance for your support of @bakerjamin and his new business venture in Williamstown, MA @eastforkbread .
Recently found a fun stencil at an antique shop in town and have been enjoying using it on the Spelt Sandwich.
Whole spelt flour, ancient grain bread flour, sourdough culture, EVOO, maple, salt. A kid-approved sandwich loaf that stays soft all week long.

I feel very fortunate to be working out of the @groundupgrain bakery space. There’s something special about growing a bakery inside a flour mill — one focused exclusively on Northeast grown grains.
And now, just on the other side of the bakery walls, @coastalqueenmilling has started rolling out something new that I can’t wait to start baking with. I’ll be experimenting with this flour and featuring it at the @williamstownmafarmersmarket this season.

Workshopping some bialys for the @williamstownmafarmersmarket starting in a month on May 16th!
Excited to see you there.

Been busy in the bakery these past few weeks.
Honing the process and dialing in these country loaves to get them looking and tasting their best!
Very excited for what’s ahead here in the Northern Berkshires.

Just wrapped up deliveries to @redshirtfarm and @cricketcreekfarm . If you’re in the Northern Berkshires you can buy bread there!
Feels pretty surreal to see these loaves heading out into the world. Thanks to everyone who’s been supporting this early chapter of EFB!
Came home with a few stragglers - this is a photo of the uglies that I did not want to sell.

Shaping some seeded dough for a few special accounts this weekend.
These loaves are heading out tomorrow to @cricketcreekfarm and @redshirtfarm . Excited to finally be launching East Fork Bread for real, bringing fresh, regional bread to the Northern Berkshires!

I’m really enjoying having a clear direction these days.
Mixing dough. Experimenting with grains, dough makeup, shaping, and size. Dialing things in one bake at a time.
Getting excited to bring this bread into the Northern Berkshires soon.
