But I thought of it and discussed it with my husband who has retail and restaurant experience. In a tourist area (like Bar Harbor and Hawaii) it should be doable. <br />You probably would have to approach local B&Bs and restaurants, one little store like ours here with its limited turnover would not be enough to let you earn more than pocket money.<br />You'll have to keep your overhead low, buying used equipment (like I did) and operating from your own premises, at least in the beginning. <br />Unfortunately bread doesn't have a big profit margin, sandwiches and pastry are more profitable. And you must be, of course, willing to work your butt off...<br />If you're interested: in the Fresh Loaf website was this idea extensively discussed with a lot of professional input.

Noticing your remarks...Aloha from Hawaii, Hanseata. Noticing your remarks about selling to a local health foods store, I realized that I'm living in an area where that sort of baking idea might work for me. Assuming I know how to bake truly good bread, do you find this sort of selling to be worthwhile financially? I'd be interested in any ideas you might have about the process.<br />Thanks so muchUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07355639349473006796noreply@blogger.com
