We’re offering a soft serve special TOMORROW (Saturday 5/9) to raise funds for Butterfly Week, an initiative to support local immigrant families for Mother’s Day. 🦋🧡The butterfly inspired flavor is also a nod to a flavor of @hexferments kombucha--Butterfly Lime & Matcha Swirl. All funds from soft serve sales will go to benefit immigrant families in Baltimore. Thank you for organizing @cm_irc . Donate now or in store and show proof of a donation $10 or more (while supplies last.) 💐--we also have so many @hillenhomestead locally grown bouquets for sale! And other retail shelf gift ideas for mom, fellow co-madre, maternal figure, or yourself 💝
Sunny Rye is back as the rye special! It's 100% Danish style rye with sunflower seeds. It features sprouted rye berries, rye starter, and rye flour. We recommend it sliced thinly for open faced sandwiches. ☀️🌾🌻
Join us in celebrating Butterfly Week! 🦋
Support businesses that are standing with our immigrant community.
💐🧖🏽♀📚☕💞
Whether you are looking for last minute Mother’s Day gifts, a place to grab brunch with your bestie, or a self care treat, you can feel good knowing the money you are spending during Butterfly Week will be supporting families living who have been torn apart and traumatized by our immigration system.
Every family should be able to be together on Mother’s Day. Sadly, many children will not be able to hug their mom this year because they have been unjustly deported and separated.
Let’s show them that they are not alone.
Show your proof of donation to receive discounts, enter into a raffle, or order the Butterfly Special at the participating businesses this Mother’s Day to be part of a community effort to show our support and solidarity.
It’s up to us as neighbhors to come together.
Let’s make Mother’s Day extra special this year.

We got our hands on some einkorn! It's been a tough season for einkorn from the immediate surrounding region, so we broadened our horizon and ordered from a grower in Missouri. It's beautiful stuff and we mixed it with spelt this week for a loaf we're calling Speinkorn. PA einkorn will be back this summer, and as always, we're doing all that we can to bake local, whole grain, and sourdough 💥🌾❤️
A very special edition of the Motzi Bread t-shirt! Naturally tie-dyed with cochineal by Blue Light Junction, the pink hues echo the cherry trees featured on the t-shirt.
🌸
Each is hand dipped and swirled and is therefore unique.
🌸
We now have youth sizing for both the special edition and our standard t-shirt.
🌸
T-shirt design by @katehaberer , printed by @sagescreenprinting , tie dyed by @blue.lightjunction . 💙🌸👕 Modeled by a kiddo who has grown up on our bread since we were a cottage food business in 2019 (she is especially a focaccia fan) and @spiral.spiraling who designs our floral arrangements!
Thrilled that we're partnering with our friends Adam and Erika @oakspringfarm for a Saturday CSA pickup at the bakery! Sign up here: /csa/
🌱
Oak Spring is a small organic vegetable farm in Freeland, Maryland, run by Erika Roan and Adam Mihalik. They're experienced farmhands who are venturing out with much wisdom on their own enterprise. Adam and Russell first met about 15 years ago while farming together at @nextstepfarmers in Southern Maryland.
🌱
Their work is grounded in the same things we care about: attention to process, respect for ingredients, and a commitment to building something steady, authentic and local.
🌱
Their CSA runs from May through November. Shares are flexible and customizable, with options for different household sizes and rhythms, along with add-ons like eggs, cheese, and fruit.
🌱
Pickup will be at the storefront on Saturdays: an easy way to bring good vegetables into your week alongside your bread.
🌱
Adam will be at the bakery on Saturday to chat about the CSA and we'll have savory danish featuring their arugula with first of the region's asparagus.
This Saturday! Come enjoy spring blooms as part of the annual Guilford Ave Cherry Blossom Stroll. There will be crafts, live music, make-your-own-bouquets, and treats from the bakery. We'll also have special edition naturally tie-dyed (by @blue.lightjunction ) cherry blossom Motzi tees on special! 🌸☺️🌷
Get to know one of our Apartheid Free Baltimore businesses! @motzi.bread , a much-beloved bakery in the Charles Village area, provides delicious baked goods, a sense of community, and solidarity with Palestine.
“It feels important to us as a business with a Hebrew name to speak out for our vision of Judaism as well as reflect the values of our customers.”
Learn more about the campaign and how you can talk to your favorite Baltimore establishments about divesting from apartheid and building our city’s solidarity with Palestine: apartheidfreebaltimore.org
New Regenerative Baking episode is up! I absolutely LOVED this conversation with Russell Trimmer, who runs Motzi Bread in Baltimore with his wife, Maya. In 2020, they fully shifted their bakery to a pay-what-you-can model, offering their naturally-leavened loaves at accessible prices. This episode is chock-full of information about millers, bakers and regenerative farmers in the mid-Atlantic region, and I’ve linked all of them in the show notes for you to peruse at your leisure. Show notes, as always, are up at dresslerparsons.com/regenerativebaking, and you can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or literally anywhere else you get your podcasts. ❤️🥖
