A Sustainable Food Hub near Cambridge - we really want to tell you bout this great project...
Orb Bakery is supporting the establishment of this great project idea. The Cambridge Sustainable Food movement is crowd-funding to raise funds to purchase a space or some land to establish a physical building to...
- nurture small and growing local food businesses
- provide a space for local healthy, sustainable food to be sold at reasonable prices to the public
- a learning space for delivering education and training in food and food preparation
- a cafe/restaurant space
If you pledge £100 to the project look what you get...
- NO money is taken from your account until the project has reached its fund raising target
- A fantastic 10% of all your purchases from the Food Hub FOREVER!!. So a spend of just £20 a week will see you recoup your investment in just one year.

The Christmas Over Village Market takes place next Saturday. We'll be firmly ensconced in the Alps and so we'll miss the fantastic line up of stalls coming along.
The Market runs from 10.00am to 12.30pm on the Village Green - if the weather is awful the market will re-locate to the school playground.

We've really missed baking for you over the last few weeks. And we like to hope you've missed our breads and cakes too? So, while we're away you could try some other local artisan bakers; here's a list of a few of them..
- JigSaw Bakery: in Linton https://www.facebook.com/JigsawBakery/
- Cobs (Cambridge Orbanic Bakery): http://www.cobsbakery.com/
Their website shows where their bread is sold - Breadonabike: https://breadonabike.wordpress.com/about/
Small micro bakery - bit like us - in Cambridge
- Daily Bread - http://www.dailybreadcambridge.org/
The Daily Bread Co-Op sells good breads from a number of local bakeries. It also houses a fantastic cornucopia of wonderful healthy goodies. It's located off Kings Hedges Road near the Cambridge Regional College.
We'll be off now... but we'll keep in touch
And so farewell for now. No one can TRUMP what has happened in the world over the last six months -so who knows what will the next 6 months - will bring.
What we can say is that it is our full intention to re-ignite Orb Bakery when we get back next May - we have a long list of expansion ideas to begin next Spring.
Are you going Skiing?
If any of you are coming to the MORZINE, LES GETS, AVIORAZ ski areas do send us an email, - we'd love to meet up for a coffee or a vin chaud on the mountain.
If you're interested in the wonderful company we're going to work for they are called AliKats Mountain Holidays. Their website is here http://alikats.eu/ - and there are FREE ski passes on some of the weeks before Christmas (that's a really great deal!) - AND there is already snow in the resort - and it's snowing as I type this.... YIPPEE!!
We will keep in touch via Mark's Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/mark.webb.54922169 so do by all means send me a friend request.
We'll also be sending a few of these Orb News mails during our time away.
Have a great Christmas and New Year. And - if we've not all not gone to hell in a handcart - we'll see you next May
