I absolutely love baking for my community, but taking weeks off is so important to keep this business sustainable long term. This industry quite literally can suck the life out of you if you aren’t careful.
I took an entire week off the first week in April to go camping with our family and then hopped on a plane to visit my brother for his birthday weekend. It was just what the doctor ordered and left me feeling refreshed, full of new ideas, and ready to come back stronger and better than ever.
This past week back feels like a blur! I had my second ever bread drop and we ended up having 22 orders for that location alone. .sourdough moved across the country and recommended my microbakery to a lot of her customers. I felt an immense amount of pressure to get it just right, knowing how reputable and loved Jessica is in our community. Our products will never be the same, because we have our own unique gifts, recipes, and processes, but I feel honored that so many new customers gave me a chance! 🤍
I ended the week with a wonderful beginner sourdough workshop / ! This group was so engaged, excited, sweet, and hilarious. Teaching them was one of the highlights of my week and such a joy!
I was able to fit some family time in with my boys after my class. We did a family movie night and ended up going to brunch today. I miss out on a lot when I’m working 40+ hours a week in just a few days, so the family time I get is always super special!
Thank you for an amazing week, Fort Myers!
You can find me next week on Sunday April 26th from 11am-3pm for their spring market! I can’t wait to see you there! Pre-orders are live!!
