10/26/2021 5 Stars on Google and what this means to usWhen we set out for Wisconsin from Maryland, our list was long on the things we absolutely needed to do. One item that never even made the list was "winning", "First Place" or even "top dog". We weren't coming for any of that. Yet, due to circumstances, largely beyond our control we find ourselves holding and maintaining a 5 Star Rating on Google for the 3rd Year consecutively. We are the ONLY Bakery open until midnight in the county and we are the ONLY 5 Star Bakery in Door County. These aren't even things we tried for. It's just how it played out. 5 Stars means Open until MidnightWe plan to break up our stars into smaller stars and pass them along to those who helped tack those stars in place. For this, we have another list. And on it is you. You're the entire reason we even have any stars at all. People underestimate the significance of a starred rating on a social platform. It signifies that we interact socially with our clientele and make ourselves socially available and accountable to the public at large. Thank You to the Following PeopleMy family, who not only helped us weather every storm the world threw at us, also brought their labors, efforts, ideas, wisdom, knowledge, training and friends to see what we built. To see my family regularly in the daily fabric of farm life had the reward I'd hoped it would had. Thank you for swimming through the darkest waters to the other side. My friends, clients, patients, customers and anyone else who shoved a dollar in my pocket when I wasn't looking. I took your money and invested it for our future. Stayed tuned, I think this is just getting good. I pinky swear to continue practicing stewardship and seeing how far high we can fly this big bird. And finallyTo our partners. Who through thick n thin, through legalization and prohibition. From unjust laws against plants and the people who love them. May we see the day of freedom approaching. We stand beside our partners, through all of it. Shoulder to should, hip to hip. May they continue in their strength and not falter in the good work. Elevate tribe. There it is. Broken down into the little bits, this is what our 5 stars look like to us. It's not all rainbows and sunshine. It's asshole tourists who are shitty over the phone. And the flipside is lovely patients who want nothing more than to feel better. We seek the balance but at the end, it's the patients who tip the scales for us in the daily. Those tourists can literally kiss my 5 star ass.
