Seventeen years ago our family took a chance and built what has become Bishop Hill Bakery & Eatery. Over the course of those seventeen years we have shared countless memories with customers, many of whom I consider friends. It has been challenging, rewarding, and literally a dream come true, to make and serve great food in Bishop Hill, one of the most special places in the world.
But the time has come to make new memories and dreams. And after a lot of consideration and prayer, we have decided to close Bishop Hill Bakery & Eatery. Our family isn’t moving. Sweet Annie Primitives is back in the original bakery building. I will still be working with my friends at Heartland Connections and Crossroads Cultural Connections to promote live music and the arts in our area. And of course we are still deeply involved with our kids’ activities in the area. This area is our home.
We are selling this building and would love to work with someone who would like to open a thriving restaurant. So if you are that someone, reach out to us.
Change can be difficult and we will certainly miss so much about what we have done here. But really we feel overwhelming gratitude to you, such wonderful community for supporting us all these years. We have been honored to be part of the story of Bishop Hill.
