Hello, y'all! I wish this was a happy update, but that's not how 2025 is shaping up for me. Several factors are informing my decision, though not all of them are negative. In fact, there are three cute reasons why I must 'paws' my business. The cats we adopted in December require some changes in our household that aren't conducive to baking food for public consumption. And in all my years of having pets, I've never encountered cats as determined to be all over my kitchen! However, it's not just the cats driving my decision, and ultimately, my business isn't compatible with my family's needs for the near future.

I've already informed the California Farmers Market that I won't be returning this market season. I had hoped to continue on a smaller scale with pickups, but that's not possible either. I'm terribly sorry to disappoint everyone. Truly. It's taken me a long time to admit to myself that this isn't the year for my baking business.

If you know of any sourdough bakers who want to join the farmers market, please encourage them to contact California Farmers Market! I loved every second of my time at the market. The vendors are truly wonderful people who support local businesses.

Howdy, y’all! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season! December was a busy month for my family, with Nutcracker season, family visits, Christmas events, a wedding, neighborhood gatherings, and adopting three of the cutest tuxedo kitty girls you ever did see!

I’m currently reveling in the hazy timeline that is the week between Christmas and New Years. However…

For personal reasons (nothing life threatening, but still requiring a lot of personal focus), I’m delaying my business re-opening a bit longer. I’ll update my status at the end of January!

My sincerest and deepest apologies for any disappointment this may cause. Please know that this decision was not made lightly or easily.

I wish a Happy and Prosperous New Year to all!

That’s a wrap on the 2024 California Farmers Market season and Thanksgiving Specials. A heartfelt thank you to each and every person who helped to support my small cottage bakery. This market season was wildly successful, but it couldn’t have happened without you!

I’ve decided to take the month of December away from Storydough. I need a rest, which is already impossible given how busy our December gets. 🤣 I’ll be back in 2025!

Have a safe and delicious Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!

Exciting things coming our way for post-market season, y’all! Indulging in a little fermented celebratory drink tonight. I can’t wait to share everything with y’all!!! 😁

Good morning, y’all! My Thanksgiving Special ordering window closes this Friday, November 22nd! Make sure you get your pre-order in soon!

Need inspiration on how to use a sourdough loaf for Thanksgiving? I got you with a few ideas to start!

🥖 Sourdough Pull-Apart appetizer with Brie and cranberries! 🤤 Link in the comments to a recipe shared with me. It’s on my personal Thanksgiving menu this year!

🥖 Leftover sandwiches. There are many ways to get creative with Thanksgiving leftovers, but don’t overlook the sheer simplicity and deliciousness of a sourdough bread sandwich!

🥖 Croutons. Homemade croutons are a thousand times better than anything you could buy at the store, especially with sourdough bread.

I could probably write a book about all the ways you can use sourdough bread, but I know y’all have your own ideas. Feel free to share them in the comments!

Happy California Farmers Market Eve, y’all!!! Updated bread numbers below. Due to a timing issue today, I will not have Coffee Cake. Everything else is good to go, including Apple Cider muffins!

There’s still time to get your pre-order in today!
