Gourmet brownies overtake the cake at socially conscious bakery
YONKERS - The Greyston Bakery announces the debut of a new line of premium brownies that brings both great taste and the greater good to the Internet.
The Bakery has long supplied the original Chocolate Fudge Brownie to Ben & Jerry's for their best-selling ice cream of the same name. It was with this signature morsel - the Bakery's biggest product - in mind that Greyston revamped its operations to reach a wider customer base and promote its social mission online.
At their state-of-the-art 23,000-square-foot facility on the banks of the Hudson River, Greyston provides jobs to some 65 men and women from the local community seeking work skills, personal growth, and self-sufficiency.
While introducing the brownies in four flavors, the Bakery will continue to fulfill custom orders for cakes and other specialty goods. Contract and industrial baking is also available.
Greyston Bakery goods can be ordered on www.GreystonBakery.com, by fax or by phone 914-375-1510 and 800-289-2253.
Feature story on TV's leading news magazine
For an account of how Greyston Bakery evolved from a Buddhist-inspired mission to transform lives to a community-building, for-profit enterprise, read "Greyston Bakery: Let 'Em Cake," the transcript of a "60 Minutes" feature story that originally aired on CBS on January 9, 2004. Taped prior to the Bakery's move to its new building and its reconfiguration as an online source for gourmet brownies, the program captures how a "social experiment" went on to become "a role model for companies that want to inject some social action into their business."
