Happy Monday, friends!!! 🍂🍎 And happy last day of August! The ‘ber months are officially here and if you know me, this is my favorite time of the year! 🙌🏼

We’ve grown quite a bit over the last few months so I wanted to use this as an opportunity to share what makes this a must try spot. Saltbox Bakery is a small-batch, sourdough-focused bakery where the menu changes monthly with the seasons and the flavors are anything but ordinary. There will be some familiar favorites, but I’m more interested in introducing you to the unexpected combinations, and hopefully you’ll find a few things that make you say, “Ooh… I’ve never had that before.” That’s exactly why this bakery is a coveted gem. I want every month’s menu to feel like an invitation to a little culinary adventure, one small-batch bake at a time. 🤎👩🏻‍🍳

And before you come at me, there’s something I should probably confess… 🙊 I’m holding off on pumpkin until October because there are just too many gorgeous late-summer/early-fall flavors that deserve their moment first. Pumpkin can wait its turn. 🙊😉

I’m so excited to bake this menu for you. Come try something familiar, pick something you’ve never had before, or grab a few things and make your own little tasting adventure. I’m here for it 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Let’s make this a delicious season. 🍎🍐🍂

September Menu goes live tonight! See you soon! 🧡

🍞🍑 Is it just me, or is August absolutely sprinting by? 🥲

One minute we were picking berries and chasing fireflies… and now we’re already talking about back-to-school routines and cooler mornings. 🥹

Before this sweet little season slips away, I hope you’ll stop by the Bread Stand and savor a few of my favorite August flavors. They’re the kinds of bakes that only feel right this time of year and they’ll be gone before we know it. There are a few familiar favorites… and a few that might make you stop and say, “Wait… WHAT?” 👀

This weekend you’ll find:

🥖 Sourdough
• Classic
• Cranberry Sunflower
• Cherry Chocolate Chip

🧀 Jalapeño Cheddar Rolls

🥣 Adventure Granola

🍪 Chocolate Chip Cookies

🍑 Scones
• Mango Basil
• Cherry Coconut Chip

If you’ve never tried one of these seasonal flavors, consider this your sign. 😉 You might just discover a new favorite before the menu turns toward autumn.

Whether you’re a longtime Saltbox regular or you’ve been meaning to stop by one of these weekends, I’d love to see you. Come wander over, say hello, and bring home a little taste of August while it’s still here. 🌿🤎

The Saltbox Bread Stand is open every Saturday. 🤎

✨Come curious. Leave deliciously surprised. ✨

🌿 A little Saltbox question for you… 🌿

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the little choices we make behind the scenes at Saltbox. Especially when it comes to packaging.

Sustainability is something I personally care about, and I’m always looking for ways to make thoughtful choices without creating unnecessary waste or making things less convenient for you.

But before I make any changes, I’d really love to hear what matters to YOU. 🤎

When it comes to the packaging your Saltbox goodies come home in, how important is sustainability to you?

And perhaps more importantly…

✨ Would you be willing to choose a more sustainable option if it meant a little more cost or a little less convenience?

✨ Do you prefer packaging that can be reused, recycled, composted, or simply creates less waste?

✨ Or is keeping things affordable and convenient your biggest priority?

There’s no “right” answer here. I’m genuinely curious. I want to make thoughtful decisions for my bakery, but I also want those decisions to make sense for the people who support it. 🥖🌿

Drop your thoughts in the comments! I’d really love to hear from you. 🤎

And thank you for helping me make Saltbox a little more intentional, one small choice at a time. ✨

🌲🏔️ 🏔️🌲 BRB… Gone adventuring where the Wi-Fi is weak but the mountain views are strong…. doughn’t worry, I’ll be back soon! 🤎

Saltbox Bakery will be closed until August 9th while we enjoy a little family adventure.

✨ Orders for Thursday, August 13th open tonight, and the Saltbox Bread Stand will be back on August 15th!

Until then… stay toasty, don’t be crumby. 😉❤️ See you soon, friends!

🥰 A little Saltbox schedule update! 🌿

Our family is getting ready to head back to Colorado for a little time with family and some much needed mountain air. 🏔️💚 I’m looking forward to unplugging, slowing down mentally, hiking, and coming home refreshed for the rest of the summer.

Because of a special request that came up, I’ll also be closed on Saturday, August 1, in addition to my previously scheduled closures on Thursday, August 6 and Saturday, August 8.

✨ That means this Thursday’s preorder deadline is extra important! ✨

⏰ Order deadline for this Thursday has been extended to tomorrow afternoon and will close at 5PM. If you want to enjoy fresh sourdough, cookies, scones, or one more Saltbox treat before I head out, now’s the time to get your order in! All of my goodies freeze up beautifully so if you want to stock up, this is your sign.

After this week’s bake, my next bake day will be Thursday, August 13.

Thank you, as always, for supporting this little bakery and allowing me to step away to spend time with my family. I can’t wait to come back rested, refreshed, and ready to continue to bake something delicious for you! ❤️
