Umpleby's Bakery & Café

Opened the mailbox after work today and lo and behold! – The 2022 Fedco Seed Catalogue!!   (I’ll scan the cover page and post it later)

We have been ordering from Fedco for a bit over 10 years so we are relative new comers so maybe the old timers will know if the catalogue has ever come out in November before.  As far as I know I haven’t seen it before December.  A very nice Thanksgiving surprise!

Time to start compiling seed lists!

Next year we are going to go all in on raised beds.  The weeds seem to win every year from lack of continual vigilance and Carolyn and I have finally come to the conclusion that raised beds are our only hope of having a chance against them.

Happy Halloween!

Here is a pic of the Gingerbread Haunted House that my fellow baker Lauren did for display in the cafe!

And say hello to my new assistant who is mixing a spooky concoction!

What a weekend!    Thank you Dartmouth Parents and Families as well as all of our other customers who joined us this weekend!  We sincerely appreciate it!

We now have to recover. We don’t want to close completely today but we can’t be open completely either.

So…….  We are going to be open for on-line ordering only today.
