❤️ Gassville Bakery Update! ❤️
Many of you have been asking when we will be opening and what we will offer?
The truth is… we’re still figuring some of that out.

We have so many ideas, and we want to take the next few weeks to really think through what is best — for our family AND for our community.
Our goal is to open in about 3 weeks! 🎉

These next few weeks will give us time to get acquainted with our new kitchen and oven, work through our menu, test recipes, continue going to the Mountain Home Farmers Market (especially Saturdays), and figure out what we can realistically do as a family.
Because here’s the thing…
We don’t just want to open a bakery. We want to SERVE you.
We want to help make it easier for you and your family to eat better. We want to offer delicious food made with organic, non-GMO ingredients, fresh-milled bread, and whenever we can, locally sourced ingredients, too. ❤️
We will be incorporating Ranch Gal’s Dairy products in many of our items. We will be using their eggs, milk, chicken and sausage.

🌾 We will continue offering many of the things you already know and love from Bread of Life:
🌾 Fresh-milled bread
🍞 Sourdough
🧈 HOT cinnamon rolls most every day we’re open
🌮 Flour tortilla's
🥯 Bagels
🧁 Fresh-milled muffins
🍋 Lemon cookies
🍫 Fudgy brownies
🍪 Chocolate chip cookies
🎃 Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies

❤️ AND HERE'S WHAT WE'RE THINKING ABOUT ADDING…
🧇 Fresh-milled waffles
🌯 Breakfast burritos
🧀 Grilled cheese made with our sourdough or fresh-milled bread
🥑 Avocado toast
🍰 Cheesecake
🥛 Tres leches
🍌 Banana bread
🍰 Possibly cake slices
But our menu isn't set yet.

We want to take the time to figure out what you actually need and what we can sustainably provide as a family.
Maybe you need a quick breakfast before work. Maybe you need a loaf of bread for your family. Maybe you need tortillas for taco night. Maybe you want a hot cinnamon roll on Saturday morning. 😉
We want to help.

We have met some of the most wonderful people through this journey, and that is a huge part of why we’re doing this.
It isn’t just about opening a bakery.
It’s about serving you, our community, and building something together as a family. ❤️
Thank you for being patient with us while we figure it all out, and thank you for allowing us to serve you.
We’ll see you in about 3 weeks! 🌾❤️

There’s a lot happening behind the scenes at Bread of Life Mill & Bakery, and honestly, we never could have planned it this way.
Our little farmstand is still being finished, but when a local commercial bakery space became available, we felt God nudging us to step through another door.
Financially, it didn’t make a whole lot of sense. More rent, more expenses, more responsibility. We almost said no.
But God kept nudging our hearts, so we took a deep breath and said yes. So we decided to rent the space. The building is for sale but we plan to rent it for a short time!
And then something unexpected happened.
Just as we were making that decision, thousands of new people began finding our page from all over the country. Our inbox filled with messages asking, “Can you ship your bread to me?” 🌾🥖
We don’t know exactly where this is all going yet, but we do know we want to follow the doors God opens—without rushing ahead of Him.
This new space gives us an opportunity to serve our local community in a bigger way, especially as farmers market season comes to an end.
We’re still working through our menu, getting everything ready, and figuring out our hours. We’re hoping to open our doors in the next few weeks. ❤️
We didn’t plan this. We didn’t see it coming. But we believe God did.
Thank you for being part of this story and for cheering us on. We can’t wait to bake for you! 🥖❤️

Our wheat berries are regeneratively farmed, non-GMO, and glyphosate-free, because we believe what goes into our flour matters.
For years, I thought making bread from scratch was enough. Then I learned what actually happens when wheat is turned into conventional refined flour.
The wheat berry naturally contains the bran, germ and endosperm. When wheat is refined into white flour, the bran and germ are removed—along with much of the fiber and many naturally occurring nutrients found in the whole grain.
And even though some nutrients are added back through enrichment, you can’t put the whole grain back once you’ve removed it.
That’s why we choose to mill the entire wheat berry ourselves. 🌾
There is something incredibly special about taking a seed God created, milling it fresh, and turning it into bread for our family and yours. 🤍
One important note: If you have celiac disease, wheat is not safe for you, and our bread is NOT gluten-free or appropriate for someone with celiac disease. Fresh-milled wheat does not change that.
But for those who can eat wheat, we want you to know there is a whole world beyond a bag of refined flour.
Maybe we don’t need to go forward.
Maybe we need to go back to the beginning. 🌾

🐔 Looking for a local chicken farmer! 🥚

Can anyone recommend a chicken farmer who sells farm-fresh eggs and feeds their flock organic, non-GMO feed? We’re looking for someone who follows clean, quality practices and is able to supply large quantities at wholesale pricing.

We’re hoping to find a reliable, long-term supplier, so if you know someone who might be a good fit, please tag them or send me their information! ❤️

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! 🙏
