Rise Up! #118 - Charlie Emers

<p>Charlie Emers was a market gardener, but the outbuilding he had designed for vegetable storage was calling to him to be a bakery.  So he borrowed a mixer, bought an old oven and got to baking.  That was over 20 years ago and Patchwork Farm and Bakery is still going strong.</p> <p>In this episode, Mark and Charlie finally chat after swapping emails for over a decade.  They talk about the early days, how his everyday matzoh changed his business and how baking fits his personality and lifestyle so well.</p> <p><strong>Helpful Links</strong></p> <p><a href="https://patchworkfarmbakery.com/">Patchwork Farm and Bakery</a></p> <p><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/patchworkfarmand/">@patchworkfarmand on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://donorbox.org/riseuppod">Support the Podcast Here!</a></p> <p><a href="http://riseuppod.com/">Rise Up!
