I just noticed this morning that the Westside Blue Heron Bakery is closed. How long ago did that happen? I'm talking about the one on Harrison that's connected to the Shell gas station.

I hear the Blue Heron is or has acquired a mill and will soon start trying to mill their own flour.
I wonder if you can get a sandwich at the Mud Bay Blue Heron?

Sorry To Hear This Evan
Submitted by JstPlnOnry on Fri, 03/21/2008 - 5:12pm.I know your daughter T helped you a lot and as soon as she headed off to college so far away I wondered if you'd be able to find quality help. Look forward to trying one of those apple turnovers soon! Our family has always loved your products and we know how much love and dedication you put into the bakery! Their loss (those retailers who say the things above) and as employees, they have no idea how hard it is to run a business and what all needs to go into it to keep it going!
Take care, give T our love and look forward to seeing you at The Farmer's Market soon!
XO!

The perfect seed triad
Submitted by Marcie on Sat, 03/22/2008 - 11:19pm.I remember when the BHB made this incredible three seed bread - not like the three seed they have now. While the current incarnation certainly is delicious and makes some fabulous toast, it is only a fraction of the recipe it once was. See, now the Three Seed Bread has the seeds on the inside.The Three Seed Bread I speak of had a fabulously crusty, amazingly crunchy, perfect blend of three seeds magically stuck to the outside of the bread. Gather round, bread lovers and I'll tell you a story about days gone by....
Once upon a time, the price of raw goods was such that a baker didn't have to cry over spilt poppy seeds. This was the case in the era of the Three Seed Bread (with the seeds on the outside). While some purists may shudder to think of a single poppy or fennel seed wasted, those with the taste, dare I say, the yearning for a loaf of bread with a seedy crust accepted the sacrafice of a few good seeds.
Those days are behind us now, comrades. The cost of doing business is such that those sacrafices are no longer acceptable. And so we bid farewell to that icon of organic bread, the royalty of all things yeast (or sourdough), the Three Seed Bread with the seeds on the outside. You are missed and until such time as we meet again, I will pleasure myself with the Walnut Olive Sourdough. Adieu, old friend

where has "the owner" of the BHB ever touted his own business here on OlyBlog? Never!
Your comment about working for the State? Je ne comprend pas.
it's ok
Submitted by Marcie on Fri, 03/28/2008 - 7:13pm.baby-with-the-bathwater has only been a member for 23 hours. He/she obviously only became a member to vent their thoughts on the owner of the BHB and make some unrelated relationship between working for the state and working for McD's. Your comments make no sense. Besides that, I just plain find them offensive.
The question here is not how can we shut up merchants, BWTB, but how can we shut up your negativity??
