Happiest of Octobers to the Berlin Natural Bakery Family! 

Oh my goodness, we can't even begin to think of you without feeling such immense gratitude and joy for your ongoing support, your kind reviews and your patience as we've been sailing through these unprecedented seas! 

We are happy to report that even though this has been an incredibly trying year for us, we've been able to keep afloat and are beginning to see some smoother sailing as we continue forward into BREAD SEASON! That's my term for hunkering down at home during the chilly months ahead. 

Something about Fall always leaves us all feeling a little nostalgic so we've decided to lean into that and run a last minute, quick special on some of our classic, favorite loaves of bread.

Our Traditional Sourdough, our Classic White and our Whole Grain Spelt breads are three long term favorites in our Spelt bread lineup. They are steady and stable and they have yet to disappoint. All 3 of them are hearty and nourishing - perfect for the days ahead when we'll likely see a little less sunshine. 

Even though they are very different from each other, they each bring their own deliciousness and worthiness to the table!

Use Code: FOREVERFAVES for $1 off the loaves below

LEGACY FAVORITES
The first real answer to why we use it is simply because it is in a bunch of our legacy products - items we have been baking for 15+ years. To change it would be tough but not impossible. However we do have customers who LOVE the products that contain canola oil and making a change is a little dicey as there would be a pretty dramatic change in both taste and texture. 

Dear Berlin Natural Bakery Friends & Family, 

Let's start by saying, thank you for being so incredibly kind and gracious as we continue to work towards getting things back to normal! 

I wish I had more updates for you but I want to deal honestly with you. We are still unbelievably behind. With the one week power outage due to the storm and now the upcoming Monday holiday - we are baking, slicing and packing our little hearts out but it's been tough! 

We are behind in fulfilling online orders but we are actually further behind in providing for stores. So at this point, we will be prioritizing the top items that are in stores which is only a handful of items. 

This means that when you are on the website, you will see a whole bunch of items listed as out of stock. This is not permanent and we are hoping this won't continue for more than the next two weeks. 

Please hear me when I say, we are doing all we can to move Heaven and Earth the next few weeks. We're planning, strategizing and pulling out all the stops to get things back to normal. 

Also, please note that it seems summer has officially arrived for the majority of us - that means warm temps and humid weather so make sure you keep that in mind when you place your orders.

If you order during a crazy heat wave, maybe shoot us an email about holding the order for a week if the forecast seems to calm down. Or perhaps when there is a break in weather, stock up significantly to help you get through the hot summer months. Another option would be to give us a call to figure out the cost of expedited shipping at (330) 893-2734.

Or check our Store Locator to see if you are lucky enough to have a local health food store that carries our breads! I know having items shipped to your home is convenient but we do also believe in supporting our local retailers - especially in times like these when they could be really struggling. 

Thank you again for your kindness, your understanding and your lovely messages. We truly cannot express how much we appreciate you and your willingness to journey with us through these incredible times! 

Sending all our love from Berlin, Ohio! 

Nicole & The Berlin Natural Bakery Family 

Hello everyone! I am so sorry this email is coming late. I just wanted to send you a quick note that if you tried calling us today and couldn't get through, it is because we were closed down due to a large storm that downed power lines all throughout the state of Ohio!

We are still currently without power but we are believing that our power will be restored tonight so that we can get baking first thing tomorrow morning! 

This storm was massive and really unexpected but we are grateful to have sustained next to no damage and that all of our employees are safe and weathered the storm well. 

If you have an urgent question or concern please email me directly at Nicole@BerlinNaturalBakery.com

Also, please be patient with us. We lost an entire day because of the power outage so we may be a little behind in fulfilling orders but I promise you, we will do our very best to get your order to you as soon as humanly possible! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE 1:30PM WEDNESDAY: the electric company is estimating that our electricity will be restored on Saturday. We are believing for much sooner than that but we're preparing for it to be out the next few days. We are so sorry for the inconvenience! 

Greetings West Coasters - 

This is just a quick announcement to remind you that we will be closed Monday May 30, 2022 to honor Memorial Day and all the military personnel who gave their lives protecting and fighting for us. 

Practically, this means that West Coast (or 4 day) orders will not be able to ship out until the following Monday June 6, 2022. If you would like to expedite your shipping, please give us a call at (330) 893-2734 so we can get you options and pricing. 

Memorial Day is a very solemn holiday for me and I would like to share a story with you to put into your heart and provide a little perspective for this coming weekend.

I have volunteered with a Christmas choir for about 8 years now and one of the places we go to bring holiday cheer is a Veteran's hospital/retirement home. 

A few years ago while we were performing there, our leader asked the crowd if anyone had any requests. And this shaky, but proud old veteran lifted his hand and so our leader approached him and asked him what he would like to hear. This soldier took a moment to work his way to standing from his wheelchair and then with his head held high he requested that we sing Silent Night for the many young friends he personally lost while on the shores of Normandy. 

We all stood a little straighter at the honor of this request. And as we sang silent night, this veteran sat back down, held his head in his hands and weeped silently. 

With tears in our eyes, we sang this song to honor the people who gave their lives and this humble veteran who has spent his entire life mourning and living for those who didn't make it. 

So yes, please have fun and spend time with your families. Make time to rest. But also, let your heart be grateful. This nation certainly has its challenges but the opportunity to work through those challenges was bought with the lives of countless men and women since our country's birth. 

May we walk out this gratitude on Memorial Day and all days. 

With all our very best, 

Nicole
