After 42 Years, It's Time to Be Grandpa.
I started this bakery outside Rhinebeck, New York, in 1982. For 42 years, I've baked sourdough at four in the morning. Same starter, same oven, same hands.
My customers used to ask about the beeswax bags I kept my own bread in — the ones my grandmother made. So I started sewing a few. Then a few more.
I'm 70 now. My grandkids are growing up. The bakery closes this year.
One last batch. When they're gone, they're gone.

Quality You Can Trust
Each bag is cut, stitched, and waxed by hand in the back of the bakery. Same way my grandmother made hers — slow, simple, built to last a lifetime. The way bread bags used to be made, before plastic took over.

A Note From Cathy
Hollis isn't much of a writer, so he asked me to put something here.
The Bakery has been closed for about three weeks now. He still wakes up at 3:30 in the morning out of habit — I don't think that's going away any time soon. He can't sit still. Never could.
So he's been finishing the last of the bags at our kitchen table in the evenings. A few a night. He says it gives him something to do with his hands.
When they're gone, they're gone.
Thank you for keeping him busy all these years.
