Exploring the Idea of a Bakery in Bowdoinham

Event Location

Merrymeeting Hall, 27 Main St

Every town should have a bakery!  Ever since The Town Landing closed, however, Bowdoinham has not had an on-going bakery presence.  Many are talking about this need, and there are a lot of creative ideas that are floating around.

Bowdoinham’s Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) and the Bowdoinham Community Development Initiative (BCDI) are hosting a gathering of people who are interested in considering bakery possibilities.  There is no pre-conceived idea of what might emerge from the discussion!  We would like to have bakers, entrepreneurs, the Historical Society (Merrymeeting Hall/kitchen), and any interested party to join us on Sunday, March 1, 2020 from 3-5 at Merrymeeting Hall.   The purpose of the meeting is to look at both short-term and long-term options. 

There is no need to sign-up for the meeting, but it would help to know if you are planning to come.  Please email Nicole Briand (nbriand@bowdoinham.com) or Wendy Rose (wendelynrose@gmail.com). 

Let’s see what creative ideas and practical steps might emerge.
