What is your favorite Willow Creek Co. baked good?

Have you purchased from us this summer? We would adore your feedback-Let us know what you thought about your experience with us, help us grow and leave us a review!

10/11/2026

We’re officially home from the Litchfield Pickers Market, and we came home to a sweet surprise. Not only did we sell out at the market, but our farmstand was completely sold out of baked goods too!

To everyone who has supported us throughout the summer, thank you. Every purchase, every kind word, and every familiar face that stops by means more to our little business than you know. Your support allows us to continue doing what we love, and we are so grateful to have you along for the journey. 🤎

As the seasons turn colder, one thing remains the same: the baking isn’t stopping anytime soon.

You can continue to place orders through our online ordering platform for designated bake days, and we’ll still be baking and stocking the farmstand most weekends. While our schedule may shift with the seasons, we look forward to keeping your kitchens filled with fresh, handcrafted sourdough and homemade baked goods.

And one more exciting little milestone… we’re just 15 followers away from 1,000! 🥹

To celebrate this incredible milestone and thank you all for being part of our growing community, we’ll be hosting a giveaway as soon as we reach 1,000 followers! So if you haven’t already, invite a friend to follow along — we can’t wait to celebrate with you. 🤍

THE SOURDOUGH DIFFERENCE 🌾🍞

Slow-fermented. Naturally leavened.

Not all sourdough is made the same. In fact, not all sourdough is even sour.

The biggest difference between our sourdough and much of the sourdough you’ll find in grocery stores starts right at the beginning.

Our sourdough begins with just two ingredients: flour and water. It is a living culture of naturally occurring wild yeasts and beneficial bacteria, cultivated over time through the simple, traditional process of feeding flour and water. No commercial yeast. Just the way bread has been made for generations. 🤎

Unlike breads made with commercial yeast for a faster rise, our sourdough relies on this living starter to leaven the dough naturally. This process takes time, and lots patience. Every bread is shaped and weighed by hand. We give our dough the time it needs to develop its flavor, texture, and structure. During fermentation, wild yeasts and lactic acid bacteria work together to transform the dough, creating the complex flavor and beautiful texture that make traditional sourdough so special.

🍞 FLAVOR

True sourdough should not make you pucker! Depending on the starter, fermentation time, and baking process, sourdough can range from mild and slightly sweet to deeply tangy. We love creating a loaf with a beautifully developed flavor, a tender interior with a wide arrange of crumbs, and that signature golden, crisp crust.

🤎 DID YOU KNOW:
Traditional sourdough fermentation can reduce certain compounds, such as phytates, which may improve the absorption of some minerals. It can also influence how the bread’s starches are digested. However, the benefits vary by recipe and fermentation process, and sourdough is not automatically lower in carbohydrates or suitable for everyone.

OUR NEW ORDERING PLATFORM IS OFFICIALLY LIVE!

We’re so excited to introduce a new way to order your favorite Willow Creek Co. baked goods! We’re always looking for ways to make the bakery easier and more convenient, and we’re hoping this new platform does just that.

✨ PLACE YOUR ORDER HERE:
https://app.simplybread.com/willowcreekco/

✨SIGN UP FOR TEXT ALERTS HERE:
https://app.simplybread.com/willowcreekco/signup

Through our new ordering platform, you’ll be able to:

• Browse our available weekend menu
• Place your order ahead of time
• Secure the specific goodies you’re wanting
• Pay directly through the ordering platform
• Choose pickup at the Scheduled Farmers Market or our Farmstand

⏰ PLEASE NOTE: There is a limited ordering window, so be sure to place your order before the platform closes for the week!

•The platform will also serve to display our planned bake-day menu for upcoming farmers markets and Farmstand weekends. While you can use the menu as a preview of what we will have available, the farmers markets and farmstand will continue to be first come, first served.

•Want to make sure you get your favorite loaf, pastry, or treat? Pre-order through the platform! Your order will be reserved for you, rather than relying on what remains available when you arrive. 🤎

•As with anything new, we want your feedback! If you experience any issues with the platform—or have suggestions, positive feedback, or constructive feedback, please reach out to us. This platform is new to us, too, and our goal is simply to make ordering from Willow Creek Co. as easy and enjoyable as possible.

‼️ All orders previously placed through the Bakesy platform will be honored as scheduled‼️

Growing up-I always wanted to be a Veterinarian: In fact, a baker was never part of ANY of my future plans. But if I’ve learned anything over the years, it’s that our plans don’t always unfold the way we imagine—and sometimes, the path we’re given turns out to be much different than the on...

Goodmorning everyone!

✨Two things this morning: The farmstand will open at 10AM this morning.

All remaining baked goods will be marked down to pay what you can/feel it’s worth today.

✨After the last Bond County Farmers Market we had quite a few questions on how customers could continue to order goodies from us-In saying that, we are updating to a new ordering platform that is supposed to be a bit more user friendly for everyone. It should have less steps as far as invoicing and will organize paperwork on our end a bit better. I believe through this app we can also set up a loyalty program for regulars. It has stellar reviews from other bakers so we shall see 🤞🏻

Once I finish setting up this platform I will have it linked in our Bio on all social media, this link will also be on new cards that will be sent with every purchase at the Litchfield Pickers Market as well as located at the farmstand in the same place as our care cards.
