As the sun peeks through and we're looking over our damage trampling through the creeks & the mud- I can't help but think about and pray for our entire community. The days and weeks ahead and going to be challenging to say the least. We are very lucky to have our home where we do; but, our driveway is impassable. Let's all remember we're in this together and to stay patient and kind.

YAY!! Super excited

Our line-up of bakers is pretty amazing!

We have French sourdough loaves and English muffins, yeast loaves, brioche cinnamon rolls and scones from The Rustic Rise Homestead,
sweet & savory quick breads, tortillas & donuts from Sassy Cow Treats & Eats
gourmet cookies & sweet breads from Peak and Petal Co
and traditional baklava from Cedar Tree Sweets!
next season we'll be adding macaroons, bagels & cinnababies from Them Cakes, Dough Bakery & Catering
and we hope that even The Crafty Tortuga will be bringing her baking skills to the table with sourdough focaccia, sweet and savory rolls (Ciabatta) and discard cookies!

But, we are hoping to find one more sourdough baker to be with us next season to bring a bit more sourdough variety to our community! You know the loaves: Classic White, Jalapeno Cheddar, Olive, Seeded? Maybe even Baguettes? Soft Sourdough Sandwich loaf? We don't have those!! So, if you make 'em and are interested in joining our team, please reach out! We'd love to have you!

Any woman building a business! But, let's be honest, I have a soft spot for the bakers who are also mommas! This gig I signed up for isn't all beautiful bakes and sunshine. Sometimes it's flat loaves and a rainy market! As I approach my 2 year business birthday (Halloween day), I can't help but think over that time.

As a mom, I measure it in the things I maybe sacrificed with my kiddos. Maybe it was the camping trip we could've gone on but I was baking or at market or maybe it was the home school lessons I wasn't as present for because I was prepping.

But, here's the thing. I didn't start my business to make a whole bunch of money. I laugh as I write that because it's so opposite to why I started. I may bake the bread but my husband is the breadwinner. He's the provider. I started because I wanted to buy his Christmas presents without using the money he made. I wanted to take a trip home to see my family and be able to splurge on something extra. I started because I had just buried my best friend, my brother, my confidant and lost most of my immediate family in the aftermath.

But, mostly, as a mom, I started because my kids and I needed community. I needed people in my life again- I needed laughter and sunshine; and, okay, maybe an excuse to bake cinnamon rolls every weekend!

So, to all the women, moving your loaves from the table so your family can eat, or having your kiddos hold the bin down while you do stretch and folds, or maybe losing your mind in the combination of your own mess along with your kid's mess- I'm here in the next room. Sourdough sisters through and through I'll champion with you and for you! We may be in this for different reasons, but we're in this together.

This is a small community we live in. Much too small for competition. That's what happens at the bottom. At the top, we root for and build together! I sincerely hope that your baking business brings those little extras, or the big necessities- or maybe the community you needed most.

If you read this far, thank you! Say happy 2nd birthday this week at Elmore's Farmers Market and you'll get $2 off your purchase!

How do we know Thanksgiving is on its way?! Our cranberry sauce simmering in the crockpot!

This is not the jelly sauce you grew up with. This is a spiced cranberry sauce made with orange juice, orange zest, cinnamon, cardamom & brown sugar.

Elevate your holiday meals this year! Available this week at Elmore's Farmers Market, both special holiday events & online (very soon)!
