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.

The FAT KOW

Have you heard the buzz about the newest food cart in town? It is healthy, organic, local AND gluten free. The Food Action Team Kitchen on Wheels (or FAT KOW for short) is a “student powered, locally sourced food cart serving organic, healthy, handcrafted meals at an affordable price.”

And their menu is enticing! The menu items from today and yesterday are: “Asian Quinoa Salad” with red quinoa, garbanzo beans, fresh veggies, cilantro and sesame tamari vinaigrette, and “Southwest Black Bean Salad” with black beans, rice, and chopped veggies in a southwest vinaigrette. Delicious, healthy, gluten free salads for $3.50 a piece? You can’t beat that.

The cart is open every Tuesday and Wednesday from 12-2pm in front of Bexell Hall at Oregon State University (on Campus Way between Kelley and Gleeson Hall).

Willie’s Hot Dogs

Are you yearning for the savory taste of a juicy hot dog? You are in luck! A new hot dog stand has come to Corvallis.

Willie’s Hot Dog stand offers 100% beef New York Sabvett hot dogs. Gluten intolerant? No problem. Willie will be sure to wrap it up in a delicious gluten free, dairy free crepe. Stuff it full of sauerkraut, chili or grilled onions and you’re sure to have a satisfying, hearty lunch. For dessert, try out one of his sweet crepes like “Strawberry and Fresh Lime” or “Nutella and Banana”.

The Gluten Free RN has checked out Willie’s cart and can contest that he is very aware of cross contamination. There are gluten containing buns, but they are kept in a separate bag. When ordered, they are taken out and placed directly on a paper plate, never touching any part of the cart.

At $4 per gluten free dog, you can be sure to get a great lunch. He is usually there, weather permitting, from 11am to 4:30 pm, but his hours will be extended in the summer. Stop by and see him in front of the Starbucks on 4th St. and Madison in downtown Corvallis.

Zia Southwest Cuisine

We are happy to report that the Gluten Free RN has tested three items at Zia Southwest Cuisine in Corvallis and all have given negative results. The menu items were tested for >10 ppm of gluten using EZ Gluten test strips. While Zia’s does not have a designated gluten free kitchen, extra care is taken to decrease the chance of cross-contamination. For the lunch buffet, gluten containing items (such as their flour tortillas) are grilled last. Ask your server for some fresh salsa though, as the sopapillas are behind it on the buffet line.
There are delicious gluten free choices on their menu, including huevos rancheros, build-your-own omelets, and my personal favorite their carne adovado served with warm corn tortillas.
And just like anytime you eat out, be sure to tell your waiter you are strictly gluten free.
