Village Bakery of Athens, Ohio Wins People & Planet Award

Congratulations to OSBC member, Christine Hughes, owner of the Village Bakery & Cafe! Village Bakery & Cafe is one of the three winners of Green America’s Spring 2016 People & Planet Award, in the organics category. Each winner receives a $5,000 prize to support their business’s green mission.

“We are so thrilled to accept this award, as it will shine a light on the organic producers we depend on, in our local community and beyond, who are the foundation of our green economy,” says Christine Hughes, owner of the Village Bakery & Cafe. “We will use our winnings immediately to bring in our next pallet of organic olive oil, which we use for all our cooking and baking needs, and sell in our market for our customers to use at home. This windfall will put us in a good financial position to take the next step in our long-term renewable energy plans. We are in communication with local solar installers to either add a solar vehicle charging station to our parking area, or to take our Della Zona wood-fired bake house off the grid!”
