Rising Bakery Prices
Rising Commodity Prices Affect Bakeries


 

March, 2008


As you are probably aware, we are all seeing rising prices in the stores.  Those of us in the baking business are no exception.  Each week, we are notified of new increases in the cost of flour, eggs, dairy products and other ingredients.  We are striving to maintain the high quality you have come to expect from Staff of Life Bread Company.  The unprecedented rise in the cost of ingredients makes pricing difficult, and may necessitate adjustments to our selection of breads.  We ask your patience during this period.  The following link to the Retail Bakers Association has an excellent explanation of the problem.  www.rbanet.com/Dear%20Bakery%20Customer.pdf
