But we\u2019re not really set up for wholesale here. Ultimately, I would like to have this place be just for counter space, a retail shop, and have someone invest with me and do the baking elsewhere at a bigger setup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The business is named (Haux pronounced like \u201chawks\u201d) after his grandparents\u2019 summer camp in Bolton Landing.<\/p>\n<p>He started it four years ago in the kitchen of his parents\u2019 home on Chestnut Ridge Road in Queensbury. \u201cI dragged my whole family into it, voluntarily,\u201d Haux said, smiling.<\/p>\n<p>His mom, Lisa Haux, and his sister, Haley Ward, help keep things running smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>Haux Nest specializes in naturally leavened, hearth-style and old world-style breads; crusty crunchy sourdough; brioche-type cinnamon rolls; cookies and muffins; and breakfast sandwiches on brioche buns with a choice of bacon or ham.<\/p>\n<p><b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/b>A Queensbury High School grad, Haux attended Johnson &amp; Wales University in Providence, R.I., which has a prestigious culinary arts program, but went there to study advertising and became interested in the business side of the food industry.<\/p>\n<p>However, health issues forced him to leave after one semester, so he returned come, enrolled at SUNY Adirondack and began pursuing a newfound passion for baking. \u201cI have ulcerative colitis,\u201d Haux said. \u201cI always tried to cook for myself to stay healthy. I figured if I\u2019m going to eat carbs, sugar and breads I might as well do it myself and make it as healthy as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started baking and cooking for family,\u201d he said. \u201cThat turned into doing little catering gigs and to-go meals for friends and family. After a couple of years, I got into sourdough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wholesale accounts are primarily for large hearth-style country white and whole wheat loaves and baguettes, sold to eateries such as Park &amp; Elm in Glens Falls, Saratoga Olive Oil and Hamlet &amp; Ghost in Saratoga Springs.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Queensbury retail store, Haux Nest goods may also be purchased at Pure n\u2019 Simple health food store in Glens Falls.<\/p>\n<p>The Dix Avenue retail shop was previously occupied by Deliciously Different cake decorating studio. \u201cThankfully the infrastructure was set up for a bakery,\u201d Haux said. \u201cI slowly collected ovens, refrigerators and shelving. We\u2019re going in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Haux Nest Bread store is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday and Saturday only.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Paul Post His wholesale bread business is so good that Kevin Haux only needs to open his retail shop two days per week.
