Hi, I’m Mercedes, a 33-year-old baker, mom, and farm-raised maker of all things homemade and heartfelt.
Old Lady Cedes Dough Co. is farm raised. Sass baked in. And yes… the name is personal. My family started calling me “Old Lady Cede” because I’ve always had a soft spot for old-fashioned things—baking bread, tending a home kitchen, and doing “grandma hobbies” long before it was cool. I embraced it… and ran with it straight into a sourdough obsession.
Before the ovens and dough starters, there were melon fields, long farm days, and a life built on hard work and dirt-under-your-nails kind of living. That farm background still shows up in everything I bake—simple ingredients, real effort, and no shortcuts.
Old Lady Cedes Dough Co. is a small-batch sourdough bakery where rustic meets ridiculous in the best way. We make crusty, flavorful bread, playful baked goods, and seasonal creations that might surprise you—but will always feel like home.
It’s not fancy. It’s not factory-made. It’s farm roots, grandma hobbies, and a little sass—baked fresh daily. Everything here is made with intention, patience, and a whole lot of love for real food and real people. Whether you’re grabbing a loaf for the week or a treat just because, you’re getting something made the way it used to be—honest, simple, and full of character.
