An exciting moment...

This past Tuesday, a new bakery, Flour Chylde, opened in downtown Novato. Now Flour Chylde has been a presence at the farmer's markets for quite a while and finally they have a permanent kitchen and retail space. That they have located in my home town is all the more glorious. The story goes, as I am best able to put it together, that Katherine, a veteran business executive and excellent home baker, needed to make a change. She and her husband, Dion, planned Flour Chylde. Initially, she would bake in rented commercial kitchens and he would sell at the local farmer's markets. They developed a loyal following with their exceptional little cakes, cookies, and breads. So about a year ago, Dion mentioned they were planning to open a retail space. After what must have been an oddessy, they have finally made it and we could not be more thrilled. They will still sell at the markets and will eventually expand their cafe offerings. If you are on Grant Avenue in Novato, you should stop in and try a sample. Good luck, Flour Chylde!
