\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

Food and holidays go hand-in-hand. So does stress. People want fresh handmade baked goods, they just don\u2019t have the time to do everything themselves. During the holidays, especially Thanksgiving, many families rely on us for key elements of their feast, from pie to stuffing to dinner rolls. We make it easier to serve a perfect meal and still have plenty of time to spend with family and friends.<\/p>\n

\"Winter<\/a><\/p>\n

As I write this, every department at Macrina is humming and the ovens at our wholesale bakery in Kent are working overtime. Stuffing mixes, dinner rolls, pies, crostini, holiday breads, quiche, tapenades, savory spreads and much more are all in peak production.<\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

Many customers have already called in and placed their orders<\/a> for Thanksgiving Eve. Don\u2019t worry if you haven\u2019t\u2014there\u2019s still time. Our cutoff is Monday, November 19, at noon. We also stock up at the caf\u00e9s the week of Thanksgiving for customers coming in for a last-minute loaf, pie or whatever else they need to pull together their fabulous feast.<\/p>\n

Making Thanksgiving Magic<\/h1>\n

\"Behind<\/a><\/p>\n

While production is now in full swing, we\u2019ve been in go-mode for months. This summer we established our projections on all holiday items, designed and printed packaging and labels. Our sales team distributed samples and worked with supermarkets and other retail outlets to plan their holiday orders. In October things really began heating up. Macrina\u2019s production manager, Jane Cho<\/a>, mapped out workflow and dough production. Our wholesale pastry team, led by Tramy Le<\/a>, and the wholesale bread team, led by Head Baker, Phuong Bui<\/a>, were busy making samples and training their members. A small team prepared and labeled all of our bags and boxes, so they\u2019re ready and waiting when all the pies, loaves, rolls, crostini and stuffing mixes come out of the ovens.<\/p>\n

\"Porcini<\/a><\/p>\n

The caf\u00e9s have also done lots of extra planning. Caf\u00e9 crews have all done tastings and are well-versed on all we have to offer. On Thanksgiving Eve, staff comes in very early to prepare all the special orders so pick-ups go smoothly and no one is missing anything they ordered.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone has been moving fast and working their hardest,\u201d Jane says. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting, even fun much of the time, then after months of planning it\u2019s suddenly over. Macrina closes Thanksgiving Day so we all get to enjoy the holiday with family and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a well-deserved rest before we head into our second-busiest month: December!<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t placed your holiday orders yet, get them in by noon on Monday, November 19.<\/p>\n
