PARTICIPATING/SUPPORTING SUSTAINABILITY

WE ARE SO FORTUNATE TO PARTICIPATE IN A LOCAL SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY/EVENT 🐑🐔🌿

 Yesterday, Garcia Bread Co. had the opportunity to participate in an annual event that supports local farms and ranches, and encourages sustainability for the 1st time 👏 We were honored to have been asked to participate in this local event (since we support local farmers/growers and feature sustainable ingredients in our products) and had the best time!

We participated in the annual PlacerGROWN Farm and Barn tour and were stationed at Millertown Sheep Farm in Auburn:  Here are some of the activities that took place:

Millertown Sheep Farm
  • Farm Tour
  • Farm Demos
  • Defensible Space Discussion
  • Farm Animals – sheep, mini donkey & goats
  • Children’s Activities
  • Lamb Meat Sales
  • Placer Arts Activity Center
  • Willy’s BBQ Sauce Company
  • Garcia Bread Company
Families from all over came to visit and learned about sheep, donkeys (who I almost took home with me), and chickens.  They got to pet and play with them and get up close and personal and see how a sustainable farm works.  We served hot coffee and our signature all natural, healthy muffins featuring all fresh ingredients which were a hit!  

We got to connect with other small businesses in the community and spend some time ourselves on a local farm which was priceless!  
Whenever you can, I encourage you to talk to your Farmers/Growers at Farmers Markets or even better, visit their farm/ranch and see up close how their animals are raised or crops are grown.  When you see first hand where your food comes from and the sustainable practices involved, you'll see how important eating sustainably and locally is for the producers and the consumers 🙌 
supporting our local economy 🤝

IT'S NATIONAL FLUFFERNUTTER DAY

What is a Fluffernutter?? A Fluffernutter is basically a peanut butter and marshmallow cream ( fluff ) sandwich 🥜🍞 If you've never had one.....you should.....just to try, they're delicious but filling and full of sugar thanks to the highly processed marshmallow creme.  At Garcia Bread Co ., we don't have a Fluffernutter flavor so we're going to celebrate with our new addition to our family:  Banana Peanut Butter Chip   🍌🥜available in loaf, muffin, or baked donut form 🙌👏: A unique combination of fresh bananas and sweet and salty creamy peanut butter chips all throughout the batter. This is so decadent it feels like a treat or dessert but is so nutritious it can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast any day of the week.  And, remember.....all of our products have no added sugar (sweetened with applesauce and honey ) and no added saturated fats (a small amount of sunflower oil which is rich in vitamins ....especially E , and antioxidants to stay moist and flavor...

I MADE IT!

I did it!! 20 Day Challenge is successfully completed!!! Here is what I learned from this experience: You can do ANYTHING for 20 days! Eating real, whole foods all the time keeps you satisfied with more energy and feeling better about yourself. It forced me to eat better and be creative in getting the best nutrition into my body it gave me new, healthy recipes that I didn't know existed I will do this again....maybe a few times a year I am proud of myself 👏 While I am excited I completed the challenge, I will need to be careful in introducing certain foods back into my diet; sugars, etc.... I know I am going to limit my fried and processed foods if at all.......no real benefits to them.....with that said.....Where are the jelly beans????  If you know me, you know I love my Easter candy.....in moderation people....in moderation 🙌                                     ...
