Thank you to Shelly Stuart, the Celiac Nurse

We would like to thank Shelly Stuart, the Celiac Nurse, for the ease we here at Gluten Free RN experienced in our swapping of Twitter names.

Events at Midway Farms

Midway Farms has two exciting gluten free events coming up that we want to share with and encourage you to take part in.

*Enjoy a Summer Day on the Farm*

Midway Farms is located midway between Albany & Corvallis on Highway 20. For more information, please visit their website at: www.midwayfarms.com or contact them at info@midwayfarmsoregon.com

*The Midway Farms “Farm Experience Day Camp”*
Call for the current schedule
The Midway Farms “Farm Experience Camp” provides your child with the opportunity to develop character, learn valuable life skills, make new friends, and discover new interests, all while experiencing real life on a biodiverse local family farm.

Midway Farms has a gluten free summer camp available for grade school-aged children. A gluten free menu will always be served; the Kapple family, which owns Midwary Farms, suffer from Celiac Disease and are incredibly conscious and concerned with the health of all those with gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease.

The Camp’s Daily Routine:
*From 10:00 to 10:30 am there will be a structured morning routine during which time the cows, ponies, chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese will be fed and watered. Eggs will also be collected.
*At 10:30 am a snack fitting the day’s activities will be provided.
*Afternoons begin with lunch at 12:00 noon. After lunch, a less-structured afternoon will occur, during which time there will be reflection and review of the day’s lesson through art projects and free time.
*Campers will be provided with log books to write and/or draw pictures about their learning and various experiences.

If interested in the Farm Experience Day Camp, please visit www.midwayfarmsoregon.com/camp or contact Midway Farms directly at info@midwayfarmsoregon.com.

Living Earth Bakery For Sale!

Living Earth BakeryFun & profitable gluten free bakery, great location, cute store front, and off street parking with amazing customers and employees.

Below are some questions you may have, answered by the bakers themselves.

Why is the bakery for sale? Eric is doing consulting work to help others start their own bakeries in other towns and is hoping to get a development kitchen going soon. His passions are opening new businesses and creating new food products, he is hoping to spend more of his time doing that.

How much are you selling for? A reasonable price. Eric and Jenny want the new owners to be successful without a big debt load. There are different purchasing options available, depending on if the new owners would like to keep it just like it is now or if they would like Eric’s consulting services to expand the business (start a deli please!).

What is included in the price? All of the equipment, licensed rights to the recipes, training, their baking and operation manuals and all of the goodwill that they have developed in the last 3 ½ years.

Is it hard to keep great employees? No, their first bread baker stayed for most of the three years. Two of their other employees have been serving you for over a year.

Is the bakery doing well? Absolutely. They have been profitable since they opened and their sales are increasing every year. March and April were their third and fourth busiest months ever.

What are the terms? Cash only, no contracts.

Please call Eric if you are interested in more information at (541) 760-1050.
