Friends,

July feels like all the best parts of the year condensed into one single calendar month- long, sunny days, leisurely meals shared outdoors, and every imaginable variety of produce at peak season.

We have so many reasons to feel joyful this July. We hope you'll join us in celebrating this most abundant season.

🇺🇸 Both stores will be open on Saturday, July 4th!
(Flour Craft San Anselmo will be closed July 5th & July 6th)

Warmly,
~Heather, Rick, & The Flour Craft & GoodLife Teams

At Flour Craft:

Summer produce is taking center stage.

You’ll find stone fruit, melons, and tomatoes throughout our menus, including the return of our Yellow Tomato Gazpacho. Bright, refreshing, and endlessly sippable, it’s one of the dishes we look forward to making every year.

If you’re spending time on the trails this month, consider pairing a Mount Tam hike with lunch at Flour Craft. Whatever side of the mountain your adventures take you, we’ll have something fresh waiting for you afterward.

At The GoodLife Shop:

Summer is all about gathering with a little less fuss.

The shop is filled with colorful tableware, favorite kitchen tools, and cookbooks to inspire relaxed meals outdoors. We’re especially drawn to pieces that make everyday dining feel a bit more intentional and that celebrate the ease and vibrancy of the season.

Come check out what we have in store- open daily 1030a-530p.

On the Road This Month:

We’re excited to be joining Dandelion Chocolate’s Summer Brunch Series (https://www.dandelionchocolate.com/pages/experiences ) in San Francisco on July 12.

Hosted by Chef Stephen Durfee, the event brings together three local chefs, including Ryan Seal of Sea Ranch Lodge, Jade Cunningham of Carabao, and Heather Hardcastle of Flour Craft Bakery. We’ll spend the morning celebrating chocolate in all its forms, surrounded by creative cooking, and warm hospitality, as we all gather around the table for a celebratory meal.

If you’re in the city, we’d love to see you there- tickets are available HERE. (https://www.dandelionchocolate.com/pages/experiences )

On Our Substack:

The Dessert I’m Making On Repeat This Month

When stone fruit season arrives, I find myself reaching for recipes that showcase the fruit rather than compete with it.

Coconut-Pluot Eton Mess layers juicy pluots, whipped coconut cream, and crisp vanilla meringues into a dessert that’s cool, creamy, and perfectly suited to a warm summer evening.

It’s easy to assemble, endlessly adaptable, and the kind of dessert that feels special without requiring much effort. Head on over to our blog for the recipe!
