Hey everyone! It’s been a minute since our last update (I promise for good reason - as explained below) and we wanted to pull back the curtain a bit.

The space is looking beautiful, the ovens are ready, and we are primed to open our doors.

And then the universe said, "Fun! Let's break some stuff! Oh, and add in a dash of heat wave to make it extra spicy." 🔥

Here's the deal: We had planned on opening this week but right now, we’re working on getting our broken central air situation sorted out so you can enjoy your coffee and pastries in comfort (and so we don't overproof or melt our doughs!)

Our current plan is to quietly crack the doors open for a small soft opening with our existing customers, friends, and family - TENTATIVELY next week - with so we can test out the workflow, dial in the coffee, understand who we need to bring onto the team, and generally get everything running smoothly.

We aren't launching the official grand opening quite yet, but we are right on the finish line.

Thank you all so much for your patience!

The rumors are true: Yes, we will have sliced bread!

Our commercial slicer is officially ready to go. But since so many of you have been asking about sliced loaves, we wanted to share a quick bit of baker science ahead of time:

Patience is an ingredient.

When a loaf comes screaming hot out of the deck ovens, the interior starches and steam are still setting. If we throw a hot loaf straight into the blades, it turns a beautiful, airy interior into a gummy mess.

To make sure you get the absolute best quality, our loaves have to completely cool down before they can visit the slicer.

So when our doors officially open, just remember: good things take a little time to chill out first!

Brb about to go kill this health inspection ✌️

There’s something really emotional about looking back at where this space started compared to where it is now.

What began as an empty shell - full of dust, peeling up glued floors, demo, paint, long nights, second guesses, tears, dance breaks, and endless to-do lists - is slowly becoming our bakery. Every wall painted, shelf built, table assembled, and floor cleaned has been touched by our own hands with some help from talented pros along the way - thank you to NT&T Bianco Electric, and

I want to also take an extra beat to acknowledge the unwavering support of my partner, There is truly no way this bakery would exist without him. He has carried so much of the weight of this project — the heavy lifting, the problem solving, the constant pivoting, and all of the things people will never fully see behind the scenes. He believed in this dream just as deeply as I did, sometimes even more, and I honestly don’t know where I would be without him.

This process has taken time because building something meaningful takes time. We wanted to create a space that feels warm, welcoming, thoughtful, and truly ours. A place where good bread, coffee, conversation, and community can live together.

We genuinely cannot wait to welcome you all through these doors soon. We have a slow but intentional start planned and we are looking forward to seeing this place filled with the faces of all those who have supported us as well as some new friends too.

Thank you for cheering us on through every stage of this journey. Untamed Grain exists because of your encouragement, patience, and belief in what we’re building here.

The before and after feels pretty surreal. 💙

Golden, flaky ramp + cheddar biscuits from yesterday’s Ramp Fest at Swampy Vale Farm. 🤌

There’s something special about baking with ingredients that only show up for a short window each year. Ramps bring that punchy, garlicky flavor that just feels like spring waking up.

Grateful to be part of a day that celebrates local food, good people, and the kind of flavors you can’t get year-round.

Big things are happening at Untamed Grain! 🌾

To get everything moved in and set up in our new home, I’ll be taking a break from the regular bake schedule next week. I’m trading flour bags for floor plans as we get the store ready for you all.

BUT... Keep your notifications on! 🔔

Since I can't stay away from the oven for too long, I would love to drop a few mini pop-ups between now and opening day. These will be small-batch and first-come, first-served, so stay tuned for flash sales as I find the time.

We are getting SO close to our official opening day—thank you for being part of this journey. I can’t wait to welcome you through the doors in North Brunswick!

Just brightening your feed with some Earl Grey & Lemon Scones. 🤌

Many of you know we were searching for a very special member of our family. We wanted to share that we’ve found him, but he has unfortunately passed.

Meaty had tiny but mighty spirit that took up so much space in our hearts. He was so loved - not just by us, but by everyone who knew his feisty, sweet nature and that he greeted during porch pickups. While we are heartbroken, we are so grateful for the closure and the wonderful memories. As you can imagine, we would prefer not to discuss the details around how we found him - we would much rather hold space for all of the fun, ridiculous, silly little things that brought light to our home.

Baking has been a comfort and positive distraction this week, and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone during pickup tomorrow morning.

Seeing your familiar faces will be a nice way to end a very tough week. Thank you for your continued support and for holding a space for our little guy in your hearts.

❤️

That feeling when your 10 Grain dough is looking extra luscious ✨

I am so looking forward to Saturday. Beyond the bread and final storefront prep and touch ups, I just want to see everyone, get some much needed hugs, and catch up. This community has been my rock — from supporting my wildest baking dreams to standing by me and my family during the times we needed it most. Getting to see you all in person is honestly the highlight of my week.

You all have been the heartbeat of Untamed Grain, and I’m soaking in every second of these home bakes while we wait for the final green lights at the store. We have been working hard and it is SO close now! Expect an opening date to be announced shortly. 😉

I also just want to say thank you—for the kindness, messages, and support you’ve shown us over the past week while we search for Meatball. It has meant more than I can put into words. We’re still hopeful and continuing to look. 🤍

Because of everything, just FYI pars may be a little lower than usual.

Untamed Grain sourdough pizza crusts are being used for the VFW pizza night tonight, April 10, from 5-9. 🇺🇸

It’s been a tough couple of days personally and we are still searching for our little guy, but getting back into the dough and showing up for our community felt really important.

Thank you all for the kindness and support. 🤍
