WE SHARE THAT IT SHARES >>>

Ever eaten a one of those fantastic buns clasping the juicy burgers at Darby's Café, picked up a pastry while visiting Orca Books, or snacked on a scone from Evergreen Stae College's Flaming Eggplant Café?

Then you've enjoyed artisan-baked goods from 8 Arms Community Bakery. Since 2007, 8 Arms has been mixing and baking for the South Sound.

With 28 locations throughout Thurston and Mason counties, including co-ops, coffee houses, farmers markets and bookstores, 8 Arms bakes traditional, vegan and gluten-free goods made from natural and local ingredients.

In addition to the storefront locations, baked goods can also be procured through the baker's community share program, or "share session." The eight or 20-week sessions range in size and cost to suit your needs, and can include items like slicing breads, specialty breads, granola and desserts. Drop locations are conveniently located in numerous locations around town. The next share session runs Jan. 8-May 21.
