  2. Rise Up! #220 - Kevin Masse

Feb 26, 2025

Kevin Masse started a small bakery in a small state, but he didn't stay small for long.  These days, Small State Provisions has two locations in the Greater Hartford, CT area, is open seven days per week and is continuing to expand hours and flavours.

In this episode, Kevin shares his journey from food writing to food making, the value of having a vision and a plan, and how it's impossible to shake a childhood dream of feeding people.  And before all that, Mark goes on a bit of a rant, so be warned.  💖

There is also talk about Mark's new project, the Bakery Leadership Circle, offered through the Bread Baker's Guild of America
