We live in a world where technology seems to be moving at the speed of light. Each year the release of newer, faster, sleeker, and smarter devices make our environment more automated and less personal. Maybe that’s why Vermonters still hold onto our roots and appreciate the simpler life. Farmer’s markets, covered bridges, and homemade maple syrup are just a few of our favorite things. And now this bakery that delivers bread by bicycle just got added to that list.

August First is a warm and welcoming bakery and cafe in Burlington. It is located in a renovated garage that is toasty in the winter while opening the doors to the warm breezes in the summer.
