Guided by an experienced baker, we’ll go through the steps (and identify how to deal with the pitfalls) that will bring you success. Learn about proofing the yeast, making a starter, rising, kneading, and baking your bread. Soon store-bought bread will be a thing of your past! Space is limited.

Meals in a Pinch runs every other Tuesday and provides four meals to some of our Harpswell neighbors for a variety of reasons. Some are not able to consistently prepare meals because of health, ability, or mobility; others have difficulty obtaining food for practical or financial reasons. There is no income qualification–only a recognition that we all need some support at times. Whether an ongoing situation or a temporary need–like after a surgery or illness–Harpswell Aging at Home has meals available. Emergency meals can even be provided on the same day if necessary. Contact: Julie Moulton at juliemoulton28@gmail.com or 330-5416.
