Menus week of Nov 24
Do you need bread? Preorder on our sales website here to pick up fresh loaves on Wednesday here in Brooksville. Or find it out at the stores this week — we’ll be making deliveries on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Our schedule is narrowed this week for focus around the holiday. We will be open for Wednesday cafe (and preorder pickup!) 9AM-noon, and for pizza on Saturday evening 4:30-8:00. No Friday pizza, no Saturday brunch, no Saturday bread/pastry bake and delivery. So get enough bread Wednesday to tide you over!
Thanksgiving Plans & Saturday Pizza!
Hello friends!
The light these days is slanting through windows that usually don’t get lit up, and we’re having fun over here coming up with the most scrumptious things we can think of! I’ve got two announcements to offer today: 1) Our Thanksgiving week schedule along with special baked items and how to preorder, and 2) to officially announce the launch of SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA!
To take the second item first: Out of desire to provide more winter hours for our staff, and a weekend night for y’all to more easily get over here, we are RELAUNCHING SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA! I don't think we’ve regularly made pizza on Saturdays since… sometime before Kieran was born? He’s 11 now…. Hah! So if Friday night pizza in the winter rarely or never fits into your schedule, I hope you can come on Saturday!! Reservations for this week are currently live here, and you can see this week’s menu here. The winter pizza scene in the bakery is super special, just btw <3 <3 <3
On to the next topic: THANKSGIVING SCHEDULE & BREAD
We will be baking on Tuesday and Wednesday next week prior to Thanksgiving Day (details below), and then the morning bakery cafe and production will be closed Saturday the 29th. We WILL be making PIZZA one day only next week: Saturday the 29th.
THE PIZZA We will be completely closed on Friday the 28th next week, but we will be baking pizza on Saturday the 29th 4:30-8:00PM. Take-out is of course available too, if you want to bring pizza home to yours. Reservations will open on Monday morning at 9AM as per usual, and we will be available by phone starting Tuesday morning next week, for placing take out orders and answering any questions. We will be completely closed on THURSDAY & FRIDAY—so if you need to get in touch that part of the week, send us an email. No one will be tending to the phone those two days.
THE BREAD We will be baking back to back on Tuesday & Wednesday next week! The bake on Tuesday the 25th will be for wholesale delivery only. This will be our typical loaves, available at most of our store locations. Deer Isle and Blue Hill Wine Shop are the exceptions—we will be delivering to these two shops on Wednesday the 26th!
On Wednesday the 26th, we will be baking HOLIDAY SPECIALS along with all of our regular bakery & cafe offerings, available here at the bakery 9AM-12PM. The special loaves will be available here at the bakery in Brooksville only, on Wednesday only. If there are loaves & pastries of any kind that you really want that day, we strongly recommend PREORDERING! Our online sales website will open on Sunday Nov 23rd at 9AM for preorders for pick up on Wednesday, as per usual. If you are not familiar with our preorder website, you can find it here. Take a look! <3
The holiday specials on 11/26 will be:
Potato Dinner Rolls (6/pk)
POLENTA PUMPKIN SEED HERB BREAD
The rolls are so good, I don’t know how to express this!! Smooshy, buttery, hint of rosemary with creamy organic white flour from Quebec and a touch of sifted whole wheat from Maine. We have been feasting on the test batches. They will be packaged in foil pans by the half dozen, so you can easily heat them for your meal. And the polenta pumpkin seed herb is our traditional perennial favorite! Snag yours by preordering on Sunday. Got questions about holiday preorders? Email us at tinderhearth@gmail.com
Our regular winter schedule will resume on Dec 3rd: Bakery Cafe on Wednesdays and Saturdays, 9:00-12:00, and Pizza on Fridays and Saturdays, 4:30-8:00.
With love-
Lydia & the TH team

This performance will celebrate tango’s ongoing evolution and the powerful interplay between music and dance, as well as how the genre is being reclaimed by marginalized identities, especially women and queer artists.
Ryan Blotnick Quartet Nov 15th
Tinder Hearth is so excited to host dear friend and frequent collaborator Ryan Blotnick for an evening of original compositions and improvositions with his quartet.
Guitarist and composer Ryan Blotnick has long balanced a searching intelligence with a natural lyricism, whether navigating open improvisation, writing for film, or sculpting finely wrought original tunes. His quartet-featuring Tyler Wood on keyboards, Adam Chilenski on bass, and Otto Hauser on drums-extends that sensibility into a collective conversation that's as fluid as it is grounded. Their music, spacious yet deeply rooted, thrives on close listening and collective interplay.

Brittany Haas is widely regarded as one of the most influential fiddlers of her generation. Born in Northern California, Brittany grew up honing her craft at string camps nationwide, and developed her unique style of fiddling at the influence of her mentors, Bruce Molsky and Darol Anger. As a prodigious youth, Haas began touring with Darol Anger’s Republic of Strings at the age of fourteen. At seventeen, she released her debut, self-titled solo album (produced byAnger). Soon she joined the band Crooked Still, with whom she has made four recordings and toured the world. More recently she has been touring as a member of the bands Hawktail, Punch Brothers, the David Rawlings Machine.
Hailed by David Grisman as a “wonderful mandolin player”, and by Darol Anger as “one of the finest mandolin players ever”, Portland, Maine-based musician Joe K. Walsh is known for his exceptional tone and taste, and his collaborations and recordings with acoustic music luminaries including Darol Anger, Brittany Haas, Grant Gordy, Molly Tuttle, Sam Grisman, MikeBlock, Danny Barnes, Scott Nygaard, Matt Flinner, Mike Marshall’s Ger Mandolin Ensemble, and pop-grass darlings Joy Kills Sorrow, a band he co-founded.
Bassist Brittany Karlson is an adventurous musician with roots in jazz, improvised, andAppalachian music. She is an active collaborator and has performed across the USA, Canada,and Europe in a variety of ensemble settings, including improvised trio Letter Castle andAmerican old-time/bluegrass/Swedish string band The Goodbye Girls.
Yann Falquet is a dynamic Québécois guitarist in the world of traditional music. He is a versatileartist who has already explored several styles and, although well-established, continues todeepen his knowledge of both creation and interpretation.
