Some Big News
At the end of last week's post we left a cliffhanger - some Momentous News coming... Well this is it... Mark has handed in his notice at work! We will be re-assessing Orb as a business to see how we may be able to expand and do more. There are a number of options - and a lot of discussion to be had! Mark will still be at his job for 3 months so we'll keep you posted as our plans develop. We are very excited about this!
Some more BIG News
It seems that many of you have been brilliant and have gone to the Cambridge News website and nominated Orb in the Food Producer category of the 2015 Cambridge Food & Drink Awards. We have been shortlisted! This is brilliant news and if you did nominate us - thank you so much.
On Friday last weekend a photographer came round and took loads of photos of us and the bread and the cakes. We're both practising out 'happy to have been nominated but happy for the actual winners face - and not disappointed at all!)
There will be a special 16-page feature in the Cambridge News on 3rd August of all the short-listed organisations. After the event there will be a feature in the glossy Cambridge Magazine.
The Awards event is on 6th August at Quy Mill (appropriate!!).
Thank you so much to everyone who voted for us.
Carnival 2015
It was great to see so many people at the Over Carnival last weekend. We have a soft spot for the Carnival not just because we live in Over but because we started this baking lark at the Carnival in 2013. We baked over 85 loaves for this year's Carnival and sold them all - and all the muffins, biscotti, shortbread and bread sticks,
