PLEASE HELP SALINA, KANSAS START UP IT'S ONLY ARTISAN BAKERY

When you think of Central Kansas, you picture a waving endless sea of golden fields.  This is the heart of America, and the home to the ever providing wheat fields that drives this country's love for bread, pastries, and baked goods.  Salina is the center of this region, providing a mecca for the rural areas to enjoy cultural, medical, and industrial options to enjoy.  While Salina boasts to inhabit over 47,000 residents in its metropolitan area, there is one major underlying problem.  There is not one single independent bread bakery to be found!

Renowned American Chef Thomas Keller states in his book Bouchon Bakery, "A bakery is an anchor - it draws a community around it. Baking is a unifying force."  This is the same philosophy that local chef Tyler Gallagher with the concept of his artisan bakery, Seraphim Bread.

Tyler Gallagher is a professional chef with over thirteen years of culinary experience who wishes to bring his trade, his passion, and his philosophy back to Salina.  He has spent the last six years honing his craft in the Kansas City area, working at acclaimed restaurants like The Rieger Hotel Grill & Exchange, Novel, and Justus Drugstore. His specialties include baking and specialized meats and plans to open an artisan bakery in downtown Salina in the near future.

What is the reasoning for this fundraiser is that the commericalization of the food industry has crippled the livelihoods of skilled chefs, forcing them to live paycheck to paycheck with no chance of savings while following their dreams.  This is even more exemplified outside of the larger metro areas where wages are low, and a competant workforce is even lower. Yet, Tyler has big dreams to not only start a successful independent bakery, but to revitalize and grow a local culinary culture that showcases the abundance and wealth of our regional agriculture.

Seraphim Bread is in its late stages of development with a working business plan, backers from financial institutions, and partnerships with local organizations and non-profits.  All this dreams needs to get off the ground is the initial investment of $10,000 and the take-off will begin.

Tyler Gallagher and Seraphim Bread is partnering with Soul Bloom Productions, a 501(c)3 non-profit fundraising platform that supports projects that are inspiring, empowering, and educational. Any donation helps! By Supporting this cause not only are you helping to grow a new business but also providing that key spark to a new and exciting food culture that is direly needed in Central Kansas!
