Looks tasty!! A local girl I know jumped into the SD bread and desserts arena this year. Shes selling out like crazy at farm markets and her own stand plus supplying the popular local restaurant.

Beautiful looking loaves. I envy your skills.

Several years ago I was working with a client on a long term project in the Bay area, and commuting there a couple times a month from my home base in Chicago. If time allowed, I would swing by Tartine in route to the airport and pick up a loaf or two to bring home.

Now that the market is about to close, do you have other outlets for your bread?

Tartine, is my favorite bakery in SF by far, second would be Acme.

I worked in the Mission for many yrs, it seemed like I was in Tartine at least twice a week.
We have an Acme about 30 minutes from the house in Berkeley, CA, as well as their SF bakery. Their S.D. and S.D Grandma's pizza is to die for. I'll go grab 4 to 6 S.D's and eat 2 corner slices on the way home, it makes sitting in Bay Area traffic so much easier.

I GO BACK TO THE DAYS OF PAISANO AND OROWHEAT IN THE BAY AREA FOR FRENCH BREAD, WOULD SCORE RIGHT OFF THE WHARF WHEN DOING REMO WORK IN THE FINANCIAL DISTRICT. SF IS MY HOMETOWN, THE TRAFFIC DOES SUCK, BUT ENJOY THAT BREAD, YOU CAN'T GET THAT FLAVOR ANYWHERE ELSE. I DON'T MISS THE TRAFFIC, JUST THE PACIFIC OCEAN. RAY

Ray, then you remember Tarantino's & Alioto's on the wharf, my Noni used to be one of the owner of Tarantino's, and at one time married to one of the Alioto's. LOL!!!

I grew up in those restaurants, that is where I learned to cook, and where my passion for good food developed.

My uncles, used to work for Parisian bread Co. I'll never forget the red, white, and blue striped waxed bags. That bread was SOOOO F'N good!!!
Man do I miss those days, I wish I would've paid closer attention to the Chef's working in those restaurants, I was pretty young back then, just a kid really. The Chef's used to make me work off my meal by peeling potatoes, carrots, and scrubbing, oiling potatoes, salting them wrapping them in foil for baked potatoes. My favorite meal was a big bowl full of steamed clams, a side of butter Romano rigatoni pasta, and a half a loaf of S.D. bread, and a Coke. (And I was as thin as a rail back then, not so much these days). LOL!!!

The family that lived next door to my Noni used to own the Cliff House, I used to keep a fishing rod in a closet at the Cliff House. Along with a wooden shoebox full of silver Johnson's Spoons with a white Uncle Josh Pork'o pork rind trailer, and white Hair Raiser's to catch Stripers out'a the surf, 20 plus LB fish were common back then, not so much these days. I remember hauling three 20 plus lb fish up to the restaurant with a rope over my shoulder, Of course they didn't sell them in the restaurant.
(I still have a few of those lures kicking around).

Damn, I loved growing up in CA back then, those were the days, now I can't wait to escape the place, sad!!!

I don't see us leaving the SF Bay Area. It's too neat of a place. There's nothing we can't see or do within 2 hours of our home. We also love the Pacific ocean. No matter the weather. We have a place in Half Moon Bay we go to for a week each month. Amazing place.

As to the bread.......Acme is really good bread. We also like the seven seed loaf at Companion Bakery in Santa Cruz and drive down there when we're on the coast. Rosalinda's, in Pacifica is also pretty good. We never had Tartine Bakery. We'll need to take a trip over there.

I'll miss the ocean, the mountains and the weather, but I need to experience country living.
My wife has been in the Veterinary field, for over 40 yrs, and we want a few acres so we can raise a few animals/ pets/ Breakfast, and Dinner, are a few of the names I have picked out. LOL!!!

I love Acme S.D. I drive to Berkeley to their bakery every so often to load up on S.D breads. Their freshly made Grandma S.D. pizza is SOOO addicting that it's crazy. I'll get a hanker'in every so often, and drive in just for that. LOL!!!

I HAD A NONI TOO! SHE LIVED IN DALY CITY RIGHT ACROSS FROM ORIGINAL JOES IN WESTLAKE. USED TO HELP MAKING GNOCCHI AND RAVS FROM SCRATCH WITH HER. SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND, TAUGHT MY MAMA HOW TO COOK ITALIAN. I STILL SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WITH THE PILLOW SHE MADE FOR ME 74 YEARS AGO. LOVE OF MY LIFE.

STARTED MY UNION APPRENTICESHIP IN '69 ON THE REMO OF A OLD BUILDING ON BATTERY AND PACIFIC, MUSTO PLAZA, WHERE THEY USED TO MAKE LOVENEST CANDY BARS. THAT WAS BACK IN THE DAYS WE GOT OFF AT NOON ON FRIDAYS, HAD MANY GREAT MEALS AT ALIOTOS ON THE WHARF. A BEAUTIFUL CITY BACK THEN, NOTHING LIKE IT IS THESE DAYS, F-ING TOILET.

Damn, I loved growing up in CA back then, those were the days, now I can't wait to escape the place, sad!!!

IT WAS A GREAT PLACE AND TIME GROWING UP IN THE BAY AREA. MY PARENTS MOVED US TO REDWOOD CITY IN '61, WAS LIKE LIVING IN THE COUNTRY BACK THEN. BACK BEFORE 280 WAS OPEN USED TO HIKE THE HILLS LIKE A MOUNTAIN MAN. WHEN THEY OPENED THE HIGHWAY WAS A HALF HOUR DRIVE INTO THE CITY FOR WORK, NOW IT'S A PARKING LOT. GREAT WEATHER, THE OCEAN WAS TWENTY MINUTES AWAY, DRIVE A COUPLE HOURS AND BE IN THE MOUNTAINS, LOVED IT! HARD TO REALIZE HOW CROWDED CA IS UNTIL YOU LEAVE, NOTHING TO MISS BUT THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

What a small world Ray, I was born in Saint Mary's hospital, lived in Broadmoor, two blocks from Westlake Bowl. My cousin was a waiter at Westlake Joe's, I'd ride my bike down to the restaurant, and he'd buy me a burger with his tip money. Then I'd ride to Lake Merced to catch trout and black bass. I got my hunter's safety certificate at the trap range at Lake Merced, when I was 6yrs old, my uncle was a Scout leader, and I took the hunter's safety course with his scout troop. Lived there until I was 8 or 10 yrs old, until my parents moved to the base of Mt Diablo to be close to my Uncle and Aunt that lived on the Concord Naval Weapons Station in Concord, uncle was an LT Commander on the base. I live about 2 miles from the CA Delta, where I grew up fishing and hunting ducks, geese, pheasant, and dove. My parent's place used to be surrounded by cattle ranches, where it wasn't even hunting to go out and kill a nice buck, and wild hogs. Now their place is surrounded by a golf course and luxury homes, sad!!!

My first union job was the PG&E building retrofit on Market ST, I don't remember the yr, you're a little older than me, but I bet you worked on the same jobs as my father and five uncles. Dad, was a union plumber, my uncles were all union electricians, one of my Gramp's was an SF Cop, Dad's, Father. Mom & Dad were both born and raised in SF, Dad went to Sacred Heart, Mom went to Mercy.

I'M 4TH GENERATION SF ON MY IRISH SIDE, MAMA WAS BORN AT ST MARYS, ME AT CHILDRENS HOSPITAL. MY NONO CAME OVER ON THE BOAT TO BUILD AFTER THE BIG QUAKE IN 06, HE WAS A MASTER STONE MASON, COULDN'T HANDLE THE LANGUAGE DIFFERENCE, BROKE HIS BACK MAKING A LIVING AS A HOD CARRIER. NONI CAME OVER FIVE YEARS LATER.

KILLED MY FIRST DEER AT 13 USING MY SHERIDAN PUMP AIR RIFLE BEHIND EMERALD HILLS GOLF COURSE, A DOE OUT OF SEASON, JUST A STUPID KID. WENT TO A CHRISTIAN BROTHERS BOARDING SCHOOL FOR GRADES 7 TO NINE, ST MARYS ON THE BERKELEY/ALBANY BORDER, I WAS A HANDFUL. LATER I HAD A BLIND UP IN RICHVALE, SLAUGHTERED DUCKS, GEESE, AND PHEASANTS. STARTED FISHING PARTY BOATS OUT OF HALF MOON BAY WHEN I WAS 18, NO LIMITS BACK THEN, WOULD FILL UP A HUNDRED POUND SACK AT THE FARRALONS. BOUGHT A 16' CHRIS CRAFT WHEN I WAS 26 AND MADE IT OUT TO THE ISLANDS ON A FLAT DAY, NO FEAR WHEN YOUNG, JUST STUPID. GOT A 17' ARIMA IN '89, 22' PROLINE WITH SKIP TOWER IN '06, USED SALMON AND CRAB FOR BARTERING. NOW ONE NEEDS A DOCTORATE IN MARINE BIOLOGY TO NOT GET A TICKET OUT THERE, LOTS OF THANKS TO JULIE PACKARD!

ROCKIN' AT THE FILLMORE TO SANTANA ON A FRIDAY NIGHT, HUNTING ROOSTERS ON SATURDAY MORNING IN LOS BANOS. THE SAN FRANCISO BAY AREA, IT'S A GREAT PLACE TO BE FROM! RAY

@BGKYSmoker

Is there a trick to keeping the breads freshness for resale that you could share with us?

I buy 4 to 6 loafs at a time, when I drive into Berkeley to Acme bread. But it doesn't hold well for me unfrozen, so I double wrap it in plastic wrap then foil and freeze it to reheat at a later time. It's still good, but not nearly as good as fresh.

Thank you.
Dan

I use a plain clear bread bag then put into a freezer safe zippered lesi, bag made just for bread. I will take a pic and post later.

Y'all were N, Cali while I was S, Cali. I didnt venture North of Bakersfield until I was 18.

This is a Lesi freezer bag for breads.

FMF sliced sourdough Tartine. If I had the huge steam injected deck oven I would be almost there...HA
