Haven’t posted for a long stretch of time 🤭, but school is back in full swing (for me) and the baking is still going steady. 💕 it’s a busy season, but we are thankful for the opportunity to serve in every way possible. Speaking of teaching…swing by tomorrow at The Farm Stand Mercantile & Grocery and show your teacher ID for a free drink at The Sipping Trough! They have more than just coffee, which makes them an ideal place for all kinds of caffeine options, and if you’re like me- I’ve been running on a lot of Jesus and a little caffeine pretty regularly these days. 🙌🏻😂

❤️ lots of goodies to be found at The Farm Stand this weekend! Go shop!

I had just fixed him a “jelly belly” (PB&J), as evidenced by the peanut butter and strawberry jam all over his face, but he decided he needed a little snack 😂 …. so it is true, you go through a loaf of bread a day raising boys. Also, ignore the loaves just sitting randomly in the dining room chairs. They just weren’t up to par this morning so they’re in line to be tossed out to our yard birds 😅 the kids enjoy chucking them over the balcony out back for me on the random occasion this happens 🤣 but apparently, Denver doesn’t mind 🤷🏻‍♀️

Saturday evening was terrifying- one I’m still physically recovering from, but extremely grateful God allowed me to walk away from. While I have been trying to rest and take it easy, we also didn’t want to leave our customers without bread and baked goods all week.
And to sum it up, if you’re not one for long posts and want to stop here, The Lord gave me a true helpmate in Austin Rierson.

This week, he has really stepped up and shown up for all of us — he has watched me countless hours, is usually the one behind the bagging, packing, and icing, but knows his way around the kitchen from the scale to the bread oven, and has been an apprentice long enough to be able to handle the majority of the baking on his own. Even though he would say he is not a skilled baker, I am so proud of the things he has cranked out and accomplished this week with very little help from me. 🤯 seriously— look at those sourdough loaves 😍 He has been so patient with me, the kids, our many needs and requests, and made it all look so easy. Tomorrow is his birthday 🎂 🎉 and instead of celebrating first thing, he will be making deliveries (in the truck since our van is out of commission for the foreseeable future). You won’t hear him complain about it either 💞 We sure do love him and his love for us ❤️

Is this Chili Crisp, Cheddar and Green Onion loaf a flavor we want to try? 🌶️ 🧀 let me know in the comments 🥰

Taste: 10/10

Texture: 9.5/10 (super soft because of the chili oil, BUT wish it had more umph to it in the rise as it baked- we shall adjust and attempt to get that belly next time)

Heat: warm, not overwhelming, if you don’t like a ton of heat you’d really like this

Pairs well with: savory dishes, broths/soups, garlic, scallion, cheddar, would make a great breakfast option toasted with jammy eggs on top, or as a spicy, flavorful grilled cheese with Ashe county Cajun cheddar

As a gift or for yourself: for someone who likes trying new things, enjoys sourdough inclusion loaves-especially if jalapeño cheddar is a favorite, and in true southern fashion: always has bread with their meal

We’re recipe testing to see if we want a chili crisp, cheddar and green onion loaf on the menu 😍😍 have you had chili crisp before? We will be having this with some jammy eggs and a bowl of pork soup dumplings for dinner tonight.

Cheese, Louise! Do you even lift?! 🏋️ I don’t, but I should probably start so I can continue handling these massive amounts of dough 🤣🤣 jalapeño cheddar coming to The Farm Stand Mercantile & Grocery & Rudd Farm this Friday 🥵 🧀 dough day is my favorite.

PS- I cleaned out the whole top shelf in the fridge to hold all these extra bannetons haha

Snapped this yesterday in my rush to hurry up and get this massive amount of sourdough shaped before it over-proofed, and was amazed at how things have changed around here from summer to summer. A busy week used to mean a few individual orders. Never more than a dozen loaves being made, but the growth this year has been both incredible and overwhelming in the best way. It has pushed me to limits I didn’t know existed and helped me learn grace all over again. Behind all the many posts you see of beautifully finished baked goods, there are countless hours spent shopping, ordering, printing labels, prepping ingredients, cleaning, scrubbing, soaking, measuring, proofing, baking, packaging, organizing, lifting and delivering…..🫣 and then all the other many things day-to-day life brings— like children having meltdowns, dinner to be made, a dryer that quit working (pictured on the back deck here), a pantry in disarray, driving kids to practices, collecting the eggs, feeding the animals, truly making every minute count. I got tired just typing that and hopefully I’m not de-influencing you entirely on the life of home/cottage sourdough bakers, and if I am maybe it’s not such a bad thing to read about the good, the bad and the ugly. 🤣

-AND YET-

Even in all the hustle and bustle, in a time where I know everything is expensive; especially when I see my bill shopping for ingredients each week to replenish flour and butter and more…..fresh bread may not be the cheapest item you can buy right now, but it is a labor of love, dedication, and quality. So, thank you for choosing to spend your hard earned dollars on homemade baked goods. You traded your precious time and efforts to be able to purchase something delicious and preservative free with as many local and organic ingredients as possible, and never mass produced (even though this picture does have a lot of dough 😅). Thank you for taking the time to go shop, preparing meals with local farmers and markets in mind, and choosing to pay a little more for products you can’t find just anywhere. ❤️ it blesses me to know that even if I have never met you, we have shared something as simple as sourdough at our tables.

Signing off for the weekend for some rest, family time, and most importantly giving God the glory. I hope you’ll do the same 🫶🏻 love you all, and will see you again next week!
