So it begins... 😂🍎🍏
I may have ended up with just a few apples this weekend, and I'm determined not to let a single one go to waste. 💪
First up today is homemade applesauce and apple butter. And I hope y'all love apples as much as I do, because this weekend's menu is going ALL IN on apple season. 😂🍎🍂
There's actually a pretty incredible story behind all these apples in my kitchen, but I'll save that for a post of its own. ❤️
For now... send help. And maybe another sink. 😂

Local plant lovers, come look at this! 🪴
This plant stand is seriously adorable and packed with all kinds of plant babies! 🌿
I've been meaning to stop by, but just hadn't gotten a chance until today. What I didn't realize was that she's only SIX MINUTES down the road from me. This could be trouble... 😂
My daughter and I might have come home with a few new additions. 🫣😁 So if you're a fellow plant lover, go check her out! She has such a cute setup, a great selection, and really good prices. We're already looking forward to our next visit! 💚

We are officially SOLD OUT!
Thank y'all so much for grabbing up the last of this weekend's goodies! I appreciate you more than you know! 💛
That's a wrap for us this week. I'll see everyone again Friday with the first round of all the fall flavored goodness I've been waiting way too patiently to start baking! 😂🍎🍂🎃

**Update**
1 jalapeno cheddar and 2 cake slices left.

A little late Sunday update!
I wasn't home this morning to get the stand out, and honestly, there wasn't enough left to set everything up before I left anyway. But I do have a few goodies left if anyone would like them!
🌶️ 2 Jalapeno Cheddar Sourdough
🎉 4 Funfetti Cake Slices
If you'd like to claim any of them, just send me a message and I'll get them bagged up and run them out for you.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday!
💛🐦🧺

Hey neighbors! ☁️
We’re back home from Goose Hill and the stand is out!
I brought a few goodies back home with me:
🍞 2 Jalapemo Cheddar Sourdough
🥯 1 Everything Bagel Sourdough
🥐 1 Cinnamon Roll
🎉 A few Funfetti Cake Slices (artificial dye-free)
We had such a great morning at the Artisan Market! It was so nice seeing everyone, visiting with all the other vendors, and checking out everything they brought. Thank you so much to everyone who came out and spent part of their Saturday with us! 🥰

Good morning from Goose Hill Farm Market! 🌞🌻
It’s the last Saturday of the month, which means our Artisan Market is here! 🎉 We’ve got a great group set up this morning with so much more than our usual Saturday market!
Come wander around and check out all the handmade goodies, fall decor, wreaths, ornaments, crocheted critters, artwork, home decor, and more. 🧶🎨🍂 And of course, there’s plenty of fresh local produce too, peaches, tomatoes, corn, peppers, carrots, eggplant, melons, pickles and more! 🍑🍅🌽🍉
And The Bird Basket is here with all the baked goodies too!
It’s a beautiful morning to come shop local, support some really talented makers and farmers, and see what you find!

Good morning neighbors!🌦

I’ve got goodies stocked and ready for you today!
I’m going to keep the stand out as long as I can before the rain decides otherwise
I also have some Funfetti Cake Slices (no artificial dyes) left to get iced and sliced, but I’m hoping to sneak those out to the stand before I have to pull everything in. If the weather beats me to it, they’ll be coming with me to Goose Hill Farm Market tomorrow!
Hope ya'll have a great day! 💛🐦🧺

Hey friends! 👋
We're back from vacation and it feels good to be in the kitchen again!

This week’s sourdough lineup is:
🍞 Classic
🌶️ Jalapeno Cheddar
🥯 Everything Bagel
🧀 Italian Herb & Cheese

I was ready to jump right back into our normal routine, but Mother Nature seems to have other plans. I’ll be keeping an eye on the storms and will update everyone if the stand schedule needs to change.

For now, back to baking! 💛🐦🧺

Before I officially sign off for vacation this week, I realized I completely forgot to share these two birthday orders in the rush to leave yesterday!

Two birthdays, two very different vibes!✨️🌙⛏️🧨

A colorful floral & star filled birthday cookie cake
and a Minecraft overworld/nether cake complete with handmade characters and a glowing portal!

I loved getting to bring both of these completely different ideas to life. I hope you two had the best birthday! 💛🐦🧺
