I discovered Mountain View Manna recently, but it wasn't opened yet. (Seasonal shop, I think.) I'm so glad to read about their bread, here.

I parked there while I was taking some reference photos around the lakes, for future artwork. I wanted to capture how the landscape looks at the end of winter, when the scenery can be stark and really have an impact. It can give such a sense of solitude, y'know? (I love all four seasons, but really, this winter was a little bit long, even for me.

)

The Mountain View Manna store looked attractive, even closed. My husband and I love fresh-baked bread, so I'll make a point of getting to the store early. (Does anyone know if they carry gluten-free breads? My daughter has to avoid wheat. I'll call the store and ask.)

I'm trying to shop at more "mom & pop" stores, to encourage local businesses. I think it's time for that. I live close to Tilton, so I already shop at Gemini Health Emporium. However, I'm spending more & more time around Winnipesaukee -- and the lakes in general -- especially painting en plein air (in the fresh air, at the location). So, additional natural/healthy food options are a good thing. (Any other suggestions are welcomed. We moved here about three years ago and I'm still discovering what's where.)

Finding Mountain View Manna was a happy surprise, and I'm glad to see the rave reviews here. I'll definitely give them a try. (Now that the snow seems finally to be gone, I'll need fresh reference photos for my paintings, anyway. Good excuse for another drive around the lakes!)

Also, if you see a woman at an easel, and she's in her late 50s with reddish hair, it might be me. Stop and say hello!

Here's my photo from about a dozen yards from Mountain View Manna. (I'm not sure how to get photos to fit nicely into posts in this forum... sorry about the space this takes up!)
