A bakery in lockdown w/ Isabel Pasch: August 20, 2021

This morning, Ilena spoke with Isabel Pasch, the owner of Bread and Butter bakery, who have stores across Grey Lynn, Ponsonby and Whangaparaoa, as well as selling on to retailers and supermarkets. 

Isabel spoke about their contactless delivery policies under level 4 lockdown, and how they’ve teamed up with the Grey Lynn Farmer’s Market to create a kind of de-facto grocery service. She discussed the relative smallness of bakeries’ lobby power, when it comes to opening under levels 3 and 4, compared to, say, the butchery and meat industry. She also explained how the day of and the day after lockdown went for the bakery, which involved donating food to the Auckland City mission.
