Sometimes something simple is best. Here’s

Who am I and what the heck am I doing? I married a beautiful woman from Middletown and then stole her away to Colorado for fifteen years where my job as a lawyer took me. Now, since I am retiring, we are moving back to Middletown. I've always loved to bake bread in particular though sweets make me happy too. And I have always wanted to open a bakery of some sort. What it will be is still up in the air but I think it will be at farmer's markets for the time being starting in the spring of 2021. It will be fits. It will be starts. It will be failure and success. It will be fun and too much work and joy and poetry, because bread is poetry and poetry is bread. Bread. Sugar. Love. About sums it up. Stay tuned.

I follow this baker. Her bake day starts at 2AM and continues to 2PM. This time lapse of 4 minutes captures the first 3 hours...

Looking for a commercial kitchen for rent several days a week in the Middletown/Butler County area. Aim to get Slow Moon Bakery going at a bit bigger scale so to sell in local Farmer's Markets in summer 2021; church kitchens, after hours pizza restaurant kitchens, are all possibilities. If you know of anything please DM me. Many thanks for your help!

Looking for commercial kitchen space to rent several days a week. Church kitchens are great but open to all ideas. Thanks for thinking about it.

It seems to me that these are a future baking project....

It’s not always clear that my dream of baking bread for retail sale is a real thing, but then I see a photo of a bakery like this and I know the dream is alive!
