Getting Creative in Tough Times

A note from our CEO Charlie Negaro

It goes without saying how challenging the last weeks have been and how unsure the coming months are.

We paused the normal operations of Atticus, the sister business of Chabaso, on Tuesday March 17th to better assess the best way to continue operating safely. We’ve spent that time building out an online market and bakery of Atticus Market for our New Haven, CT community to order from.

You can now place orders for pickup for Tuesday through Saturday between 10am and 3pm. All orders must be placed the day before pickup. Pickup is located at Chabaso Bakery, 360 James Street, New Haven, CT.

We hope to add additional pickup sites and offer delivery at some point soon, and we’re working to add new food items each week and to expand our baked goods offerings.

You can view the Atticus Market menu here. Thanks for your support.

A New Grainiac Friend

We recently attended the Philadelphia Grain & Malt Symposium, where we had a great time hanging out with an active community of famers, millers and producers. One of the highlights was connecting with Eric from Small Valley Milling in Halifax, Pennsylvania, which mills grains from farms across Pennsylvania. After a few weeks of working with Small Valley’s flour we were able to incorporate it into a few new breads for a customer of ours in Pennsylvania.
