Hi Bakery Fans, 

You may or may not be aware that the building we lease has been sold to a new owner.  Our original lease was set to expire on October 31 of 2025, but we have been able to negotiate staying until April 2026, and then we will have to move along. Unfortunately, the lease extension comes with a hefty rent increase.  

It is a bittersweet announcement. We will be able to provide so many holiday favorites for one final time. We will be here baking breads and pastries through ski season.  We will get to see so many of you that have supported us over the last 15 years before we say goodbye.  The rent increase also means that I have to increase prices.  It will be most noticeable across the breads as I have resisted increasing prices all that much over the years.

Some questions you may have:

What's Next? 

I don't have a good answer to that.  We have turned over a lot of stones.  It is expensive, stressful, and exhausting to build out a retail bakery.  We have done that twice and don't have the energy to go at it a third time.  We are exploring a lot of options at the moment, but the only thing I can say for certain is that Vintage Baking Company as you have known it in Glen will close for business after March 7, 2026. 

What about my gift certificate?

If you have a gift certificate to use, PLEASE use it.  We are beholden to pay them out if they are not used when we close.  We have MANY gift certificates that have been gifted that have never been used.  If you don't live nearby you could order one of my books and have it mailed to you. You could also contribute to our “Future Fund”. At this point the Future Fund monies will be used to build out a small wood fired bread bakery and a mobile coffee operation. Please subscribe to my Substack to keep informed. That can be found here: https://pastrycheflisa.substack.com/

What about classes?

They are coming, I swear!

Right now we are dealing with being really short staffed and are personally managing burnout from all of the stress this change in ownership has caused.  Once we get on a path forward, I'll post them.  I plan on hosting at lease one pie class this fall, a Holiday Cookie class, and maybe a sourdough class.  Is there a specific class you'd like to take? If there is please send me an email and let me know.

Cheers, 

Lisa
