Happy October!! 🍂 As the temperature cools and the leaves turn brown and crunchy under our feet, we gather in the kitchen to enjoy the fruits of this harvest season. Autumn offers many opportunities for bewitching bakes, inviting us to bring warmth into our homes through cherished recipes and traditions. This year marks the sixth anniversary of Worldwide Community Bake Day, an initiative started by the Maine Grain Alliance to inspire and empower people to come together and share baking traditions around the world. On Thursday, October 16th, come share your favorite recipe with us at our Community Bake Swap at O’Maine Studios in Portland, ME. 🕰️ 4-6pm 🎟️ Free! *Please let us know you’re coming (and what you’re bringing) by filling out the Google Form at the link in our bio.* 🥧 Unable to join us in person, but interested in sharing your grain traditions with our community?
