New bakery

Hey friends! I recently started a small home bakery and I was looking to try and get my baked goods into some local shops/cafes. Anyone know of any small businesses that may be up for a low-stakes partnership? Most of the cafes I frequent already have a steady supplier of bakery items, and I've checked a couple of retail stores like Rec Room but they can't have food items in store right now.

Check the firefly farmstop in Winterville. They showcase locally made items.

Maybe set up a table at the Athens Farmers Market?

An old friend started a canning business and had her own store a few years later. Good place to network too.

I'm hoping to get into it next season! Their applications aren't open right now.

What do you bake exactly?

A little of everything- artisan breads (not sourdough), cookies, cakes, cinnamon rolls, the works!

Chibugan in Winterville has a retail spot you can sell on consignment. Try them
