Thanks to @sfgate for the love, and big appreciation to everyone putting Alameda on the map!

Happy Fresh Bake Friday! This week we’re excited to spotlight Night Heron Bread—a beloved micro bakery in Alameda, California that’s as much about community as it is about incredible bread.
Founded in 2020 by Trevor Adams, a former lead baker at @tartinebakery, and his partner Robin, Night Heron was born out of a transformed garage and a shared dream during the early days of the pandemic. What began with a Rofco oven and a restored butcher block has grown into a thriving bakery that’s become a cornerstone of their island community.
Trevor and Robin’s approach is beautifully simple: flour, salt, and water—crafted with care, connection, and respect for the farmers who grow their grains. They’re known for their whole grain, sourdough-forward breads and for creating spaces—like their backyard garden parties with @tetrahedroncoffee—where people gather around good food and good company.
In Robin's words:
“Cairnspring’s flour is truly the backbone of our bakery. Trailblazer, Edison, and Expresso flours enhance our sourdough breads, pies, and cookies. We deeply appreciate Cairnspring’s commitment to sourcing from regenerative farms that are integral to the local food system in the Skagit Valley—it aligns perfectly with our bakery’s interest in supporting small, regional food systems. From the sweet aroma of fresh flour to the unique texture of whole-grain, stone-milled flour, Cairnspring products consistently enhance both the flavor and nutrition of our baked goods.”
We’re honored to be part of Night Heron’s story—and inspired by how they’re baking bread that not only nourishes but connects people and place.

Good morning!
We’ve got a wonderful array of seasonal pastries and breads at the market today!
First up, our Baker’s Choice is Apple Millet — fresh apples paired with a millet porridge that lends itself beautifully to both savory and sweet combinations. My personal recommendation? A grilled cheddar cheese sandwich with a few extra-thin slices of apple. Trust me on this one!
We’ve also got a beautiful focaccia topped with confit heirloom potatoes from @riverdogfarm and finished with a drizzle of salsa verde.
On the sweeter side, pears are making their way onto the menu with new pear-ginger scones and a galette filled with pears and lemon verbena pastry cream. Pumpkin bars and our classic apple hand pies round out the Night Heron fall favorites.
Don’t sleep on preordering for the upcoming holiday! Pies and Cranberry Walnut Bread await!
Have a wonderful weekend, and Go Islanders!

Bring your umbrella to the market this morning as it seems like today might be our first rainy market of the season. I love it when it begins to rain in the bay and it’s this novel thing and then when the buckets come, it’s impressive, but honestly challenging for us folks that sell bread under tents. Get ready for El Nino! Any how, Clara will be holding it down with her own personal dose of sunshine, I’m sure and we’ll do our best to get your orders as quick as we can!
Sorry I haven’t been at markets lately, I’m leaning into securing permits for cafe buildout at Encinal. We’re making some progress but alas will not be open until 2027. Please know, we are doing our very best to move things along! We’re replacing a massive, exhaust hood system and installing a heat pump, and have worked with designers to change the original cafe layout. Big shout out to our longtime customer Dave, who has been advising us along the way. His HVAC expertise has been invaluable!
Best you can do right now to support our bakery is purchase preorder pies and bread for Thanksgiving (and come to the market even when it’s raining!) . Link is below! Happy November folks!
Best, Robin

Happy Halloween, folks!
We hope everyone has fun plans for tonight. Alameda does Halloween like no other place I’ve lived. We’re hoping to bike around in costume and hit up a few neighborhoods to see all the mayhem! Bodhi is taking advantage of his blonde mullet and going as the renowned ’90s golfer John Daly. It’s a pretty good costume, but he’s worried no one will know who he is.
We’ll be getting into the Halloween spirit at the market today, too. Garth and our resident Night Heron will be holding down the market table. Happy Halloween from all of us!
Today we’ve got a deliciously seasonal baker’s choice sourdough filled with kabocha squash and sage. Arthur also made a few persimmon galettes filled with lemon verbena pastry cream that are heading to the market. Sounds tasty!
Thanks to everyone who has ordered Thanksgiving pies and breads. If you’d like to get that checked off your holiday list, visit nightheronbread.com.
Be well, everyone!

Good morning, everyone!
Today we’re opening our Thanksgiving preorders! Yes, the season of eating is here, and it’s time to start planning your holiday table.
We’re keeping things pretty traditional at Night Heron, with pumpkin, pecan, and double-crust apple pies. For bread, we’ll have our classic sourdough and cranberry walnut loaves.
Preorders are for Thanksgiving Day, with pickup at our house in Alameda between 10 a.m. and noon.
We’ll also be at the Tuesday market on 11/24, with a selection of holiday goodies available for walk-up purchases.
Come by the market today! We hope to see you there!

Hey folks!
Halloween is in the air at today’s market! PCFMA is putting on their Fall Fest with music, kids’ activities, and a guess-the-weight-of-a-giant-pumpkin contest. Later, The Witch Fest (2–7 pm) will be in the back parking lot.
Expect all the farmers’ market vendors to be along Haight today—it’s going to be tight, and we’ll be without our van, so please be extra patient with us. We’ll try our best!
On Tuesday, we’ll open preorders for our Thanksgiving pies: pumpkin, pecan, and apple. They’ll be available for pickup either at the Tuesday farmers’ market or at our home on Thanksgiving Day. They’re sure to be a flaky and delicious addition to your holiday table.
Lots of fall flavors at the market today!
See you soon,
Robin

Come run to the market today because the Baker’s Choice is CASTELVETRANO OLIVE!
We’ve also got a brand-new persimmon scone with a hint of ginger, and focaccia is back on the table!
Schedule Note: Next Saturday and the following Tuesday, we’ll be taking the market day off. Trevor’s cousin is getting married in San Diego, and the whole family will be down there celebrating!
In the meantime, we’ve updated our Bread Clubs and added a new Hearty Whole Wheat option. You can sign up for any of our Bread Clubs directly through our website—it’s a wonderful way to support our small bakery and make fresh sourdough a part of your weekly routine.
We hope you all have a warm and wonderful weekend!

We hope your week is off to a great start.
We’re set up at the market today with a fresh batch of pumpkin bars, apple hand pies, and focaccia. Come by, grab a treat, and start your week off right!
A quick update on our brick-and-mortar space: progress on our location across from Encinal Market continues! Our architects are currently securing permits for our front-of-house redesign. We truly appreciate your ongoing patience and support while we work through this phase-good things take time.
In the meantime, take a peek at our newest addition: a new espresso machine! Look forward to exceptional coffee paired with your favorite artisan breads and pastries.
We can’t wait to see you today!

The team at NHB is excited to see you at today’s Saturday market! Aubrey and Clara will be holding down the booth while I’m out of town celebrating my cousin’s wedding in New Jersey.
The Seasonal Shift is Here! 🍏
Today, we’re bidding a sweet farewell to stone fruit with a wonderful Green Gage Plum & Nectarine Coffee Cake. It’s also likely your last chance this year to catch our Tomato Focaccia, topped with roasted onions, Parmesan, and pesto (contains pine nuts!).
As one season ends, another begins: we are so excited to announce that Apple Hand Pies hit the menu today! These pies are filled with beautiful apples from J.J. Ramos Farm—who you can also find at the Tuesday farmers market. Pop in and celebrate the transition into fall with us!
Finally, we’re still reeling with excitement from the SFGate article that came out yesterday! If you missed it, you can check it out here:

Congratulations to all the Alameda bakeries that got shout-outs, and a big thank you to Madeline, their senior food editor, for highlighting our business and Alameda’s vibrant bakery scene.
Have a wonderful weekend, and we’ll see you at the market!
