So, the Bread is Good Monthly subscription is an order-once-and-get-3-weeks-of -subsequent-bread-delivery without having to log on or repurchase or anything situation. Like many subscription services, your bread just shows up at about the same time every week on your doorstep without having to put much thought into it. Once delivered, you get an email confirmation that it’s been delivered and bang! you just get to enjoy your bread!

*** this is not a real van, please don’t expect me beepbeepin’ up to your door in this- I AM NOT THAT COOL. I don’t have this yet, but one dang day I WILL.

Because this is a bit out of the ordinary, I do get a lot of questions and I wanted to take a minute to address some common questions with the hopes of customers reading and deciding if the subscription is indeed the right fit for them, their address, and their personal preference. The service is not for everyone and that is OK! Bread is Good is a very small operation so I would much rather us decide before you purchase than later on when say you have to walk down to the lobby of your 900 floor building and you are pissed that I didn’t spend time searching for parking and then navigating your huge ass weird building touching buttons and stuff. :)

Anyway, here are some good guidelines and such to help you decide. Also almost all of this information is on the order page, I’ve just put it in another format to help you help me help you even more.

I DON’T DO OTP. Please please read the zip codes! If you sign up for a location that is not included, I will NOT refund you. I can’t make exceptions for you and I can’t spend my very precious time editing something I’ve worked really really hard to narrow down and map out.
I DON’T DO BIG APARTMENT BUILDINGS AND I WOULD SAY APARTMENTS ARE JUST A NO NO. If you live in a place with an outside leading door that’s great- a duplex, a triplex, a quad, those are fine. But I don’t go inside large buildings. Also to that effect, if you don’t have a way for us to park and get your bread inside, please just don’t. I am working hard to accomodate as many folks as I can, and your very non-accessible situation makes this whole thing not work. I have set up a pickup option in inman park- so you apt dwellers can still get served!
BE IN TOUCH IN REAL TIME! When your bread is delivered, you receive an email confirmation. If you look out the window and don’t see it or an hour or 2 has passed and you get home and don’t see it, reach out! Please don’t wait 2 days to tell me your bread hasn’t arrived?! I find this very strange, like would you tell uber eats your delivery didn’t arrive 2 days later? If you don’t see it, we might have put it in the wrong place and might be able to fix it asap. I will not replace if you don’t let me know within 6 hours. Like legit, if you tell me 2 days later, I just think you’ve gorged yourself on bread and want another loaf.
I OFFER WHAT I OFFER. All of my breads are naturally fermented breads meaning, I use little to no commercial yeast in my bread, meaning there is a sourness to the bread that AIN’T CHANGING. I am not attempting to be like your store-brand loaves. I am not Wonderbread or Natures Own, and I am 110% ok with you preferring that over my product. It is what it is. I believe good bread goes back to the basics of good flour and good old fasioned time consuming fermentation. This gives me a product that I ultimately stand by, love, and believe is better for me, you, and the world around us. I legitimately believe that.
IT GETS DELIVERED HOW IT GETS DELIVERED. Your bread is delivered in a “sealed” paper bag and placed inside a plastic bag or inside a tote bag that you leave out for us. I do not put my just backed loaves in a plastic bag as 1. I don’t want to. and 2. my goal is to deliver to you the FRESHEST just out of the oven bread that will ultimately suffocate and die in a sealed plastic bag. If you purchase this product, be your own best advocate and read the Storing Sourdough situation I’ve written. Please not that this is a bread that is best within 2-3 days or put into the freezer for later use. I don’t use any preservatives and I won’t so again, it is what it is.
DON’T CALL ME, I’ll CALL YOU I PROMISE!!! All of my subcribers get complied into a list once I get everyone organized and I send a GROUP email the Friday before the Subscription starts (for March, you will receive an email on March 3rd by 5pm!). I promise, I swear, I gotchu!!!! If you do have any questions throughout that I haven’t answered or that the order page hasn’t answered, email me! Please don’t DM me or text me, I will not respond!!

Okidoki- I think that really does cover it! I do think the people that love the subscription are the ones who love bread, eat it with most meals, and don’t want to have to get on the internet each week to re-up their order. I have a lot of long term subscribers and maybe they will comment below on what they like about it? Anyway, thank you for reading!

Cheers + Bread,
