these folks who prompted us to consider
using Kickstarter in the first place,” he
said. “The opportunity to fund part of our
equipment through an open invitation
like Kickstarter has allowed us to expand
that community several-fold. People nei-
ther of us had met previously are now
journeying with us as we move forward
toward our opening date. Not only do
they post on our Facebook page and drop
by our venues, but they’ve been telling
their friends about us or purchasing gift
cards for their friends to use once we are
open.”
Bishop said the idea to use Kickstarter
came from friends who wanted to help
them get started.
“The first couple of months when we
started letting people know our plans, we
had several friends ask if they could con-
tribute or if they could pre-purchase
bread to help us get going and to whet
their own appetites,” Bishop said. “This
excitement from our friends and commu-
nity made us want to figure out a way to
involve them. Sure, having the funds up
front is an incredible boost, but the
amount of support and ownership that
Newberg now has for the bakery far ex-
ceeds the benefits of the funds. It has
been fun to have people come up to our
booth at Tunes on Tuesday and say, ‘Hey!
I’m a backer!’ And without knowing
them in the slightest, we’ve had this im-
mediate sense of camaraderie and con-
nection between us. They believe in us
and are welcoming us to Newberg even
while we are still in the formative
stages.”
Bishop said it’s also this enthusiasm
from the community and the investors
that led Burg and himself to create a new
“bread share” program.
“A bread share is much like a share in
a “Community Supported Agriculture”
farm,” he said. “With a Newberg Bakery
bread share, you can pre-purchase a loaf
of bread each week for a full month (or
longer) and then just show up on the day
you would like to grab a fresh loaf, point
it out to us, and walk out the door to
enjoy it with your family or friends. As a
bread share holder, you’ve already paid
for your bread up front, allowing us to
count on the sale and have the finances to
purchase the ingredients, and your reward
is a cheaper-than-retail price and the joy
of knowing it was baked for you.”
Bishop said even though they haven’t
opened their doors yet, the experience
makes them feel like they are building a
loyal clientele and group of friends.
“It so happens that both Brenda and I
are Quakers, and that background encour-
ages us to live life with simplicity, com-
munity and beauty,” he said. “We hope to
express those values through Newberg
Bakery and allow the community of
Newberg to have one more place to be at
home.”
