Vision

The vision of Blue Ox Bakery is to see a world without social inequality and injustice across the board.

Mission

The Blue Ox Bakery Aspires close the social inequality gaps in today’s society, by using food to help change the way people think about our history and the future ahead, and to make real time change through supporting organizing in our community to ensure all in our community have equal rights, equal justice, and are treated the same as everyone else without having to fear for their life. while working for social change we also choose to live and work in a truthful narrative of our community, not one that gives advantage to one group of people over another in working for positive change through the commonality of bread and baking in general, as well developing understanding that we are all the same, all you need is to be open to our similarities.

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY SUPPORTED BAKERY?

A CSB is not simply a bakery, but one in which the risks and rewards of the enterprise are shared. It’s true that local bakeries are supported by people in the community around the shop buying loaves, but only as and when they feel like it. For a bakehouse or bakery to be considered a CSB there must be a greater level of involvement and commitment shared between consumer and bakery. There needs to be some blurring between the ‘me baker and you customer’ line, with each becoming what the Slow Food movement would call a co-producer.

All in all, a community supported bakery, is bakery which sells its fare through programs using the CSA business model, where community members come together to participate in buying bakery products in a weekly delivery and purchasing program in a preordered format. This in turn lowers waste for the environment, lowers cost for the end consumer, and creates a more secure income for the baker.

The inspiration for Community Supported Baking comes from Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), which The Soil Association describes as “A partnership between farmers and consumers where, at best, the responsibilities and rewards of farming are shared.”

As a micro-bakeries take on a similar business structure as a local business, this same principal is applied in the same way. making it much safer financially for both the baker and consumer.
