August First.... the name.
Phil and Jodi wanted a name for their bakery that resonated warmth. While keeping their eyes and minds open, they came upon a poem by the Vermont poet Hayden Carruth, entitled "August First." They loved the poem, and thought its title would make a great name for the bakery. They thought about August First in Vermont, and how it's when summer finally arrives, and the lake is truly warm.
It's a long road trip from California, but the story behind this bakery made me want to hop in the car and go break some bread.
Living in Florida, a place that only gets warm by "August" sounds very intriguing.
