With the help of many of you, we have finalized our new name: Shalomba Farm & Bakery! We put together a poll with 3 options for a name to incorporate more of our gluten-free bakery, and 71% of people that responded picked this one as their top choice. We plan on updating the logo while we work to continue bringing the consistency and quality you have come to rely on, and also continuing to expand our bakery offering. We are grateful to everyone who participated and shared their opinions to help us continue to grow.
Starting February 4, and continuing every other Wednesday through the end of April, 2026, we have collaborated with a group of other farmers and makers in the area, as well as community volunteers, to establish the new Twin Ports Roots Market. The indoor winter market will be held at the Harrison Community Center (3002 W 3rd St) in Duluth, MN from 3 to 6 pm. This is collaborative and co-created market meant to achieve our Market’s mission of cultivating food security as the foundation for a thriving, resilient community; where nourishment is a right, not a privilege.
We are also actively working to plan for the summer market- more to come, soon!
January was a challenging month. The weather was to the extreme- with well below zero temperatures, strong winds, and heavy snowfall. This makes it harder to do chores and also puts a strain on water sources when even our heated waterers fail to keep up. Fortunately, all of the animals made it through, and many of them even chose to be outside on some of the coldest days of the year!
