Hello All & Happy Sunday! 🤍
I wanted to hop on here and share a little bit of what’s been going on behind the scenes over here. 😊
As many of you know, last July we started an addition on our house that will eventually become my new kitchen space! It’s truthfully been a slow-going process because we’ve been doing everything ourselves, learning as we go, working hard to budget wisely, and trying not to go into debt to make it happen.
Recently, we’ve asked my grandpa for help; specifically with our cabinets—and well, he’s done so much more than that. He has been the biggest blessing. We truly can’t believe how much has happened in such a short amount of time. It’s been a BUSY week! However, I wasn’t quite prepared for how fast and intense things would get…
Thankfully, we’ve found a way for me to still have a partially functioning kitchen amidst all of the chaos happening in the new space.
With all of this comes a few hiccups. First, it’s summer. The weather is getting warmer, and I just can’t bake for 6–8 hours straight like I can during the cooler months. Second, the new kitchen space is right next to my current kitchen, and it’s currently a construction zone, ha. I’m doing my absolute best to keep everything clean and sanitized, and we’re scheduling the messier projects around my non-bake days whenever possible. Third, because this is my kitchen, I’m needed for a lot of the decisions and planning that come with bringing it to life.
If I’m being honest, I’m overwhelmed.
I am so incredibly thankful for all of the work, love, and support going into this new kitchen space, but it has created a lot of challenges for my little bakery.
We always knew I’d be taking some time off this summer, but I don’t think any of us realized just how quickly that season would arrive. It saddens me to say that I think we’re there.
I will be taking the rest of June off from pre-orders. I will still be stocking Homestead Produce, although it may be in limited batches as I navigate this busy season.
Thank you all for your patience, grace, encouragement, and continued support for my family and this little dream of mine. It scares me to take a step back, especially after working so hard to build this wonderful community. I appreciate each of you!
Thank you for being here. 🫶🏻
