Shoutout Friday: an interview with Citizens Co-op
Co-ops are all about local. Citizens Co-op is one of the most exciting things to come to Gainesville since air-conditioning. And it’s brand-new–here since July of this year. So what’s a co-op?

I’d highly recommend visiting their blog, here; it’s a whimsical exploration of the bakery’s projects, and it makes cakes look like a lot of fun! (Well, even more fun.) We asked Dream Day about their favorite cakes, begged them for baking secrets, and asked them about how the environment influences their lives and work. Here’s what they said. Q: How...
