Happy Father’s Day!

To all the dads, grandpas, stepdads, and father figures out there, Happy Father’s Day from The Bearded Baker.

As a dad myself, I know some of the best memories are made around the table with family, good food, and the people who matter most.

Thank you all for supporting this little bread operation and allowing me to do something I love while helping provide for my family.

And to all the dads out there today…

May your coffee be hot, your lawn mower start on the first pull, and may you get at least one uninterrupted nap. 😎

Have a great Father’s Day.

SOLD OUT.

Yankton, I don’t even know what to say.

We brought a full table of sourdough, specialty loaves, cookies, and preorders to market today, and you all cleaned us out.

Every loaf.
Every cookie.
Gone.

To everyone who stopped by, shared a post, told a friend, placed a preorder, or took a chance on a local bread dealer—thank you.

There are still moments where I look at an empty table and can’t quite believe this all started with a jar of starter and an idea.

A special shoutout to Lilith for putting in another overnight shift in the lab. And to The Dam Market taking a Chance on the bread dealer.

Thank you for supporting The Bearded Baker.

🚨 MARKET UPDATE 🚨

Yankton… y’all showed up today. 🤯

We’re only an hour into market and the bread table is looking REAL light.

What’s left:

🥖 3 Jalapeño Cheddar
🥖 1 Caprese Classic
🥖 1 Pizza Loaf

Lilith was working overtime in the lab last night, and it looks like y’all decided breakfast was optional but bread was mandatory. 😂

Thank you to everyone who stopped by, grabbed a loaf, placed a preorder, shared a post, or simply came over to say hello. Every week The Bearded Baker grows because of this community.

If you’ve been thinking about stopping by, now might be the time. Because as a reminder we will not be slingin bread next weekend.

🚨🧪 STRAIGHT OUTTA THE LAB ALERT 🧪🚨

The Bearded Baker has been in the lab all night, and we’ve got a surprise batch for this week’s market!

CRANBERRY WALNUT SOURDOUGH

Sweet cranberries, crunchy walnuts, and that classic sourdough flavor all rolled into one loaf.

This is a limited experimental batch, and there are only a handful available.

💰 $14.00 per loaf

Once they’re gone…

They’re gone.

No secret stash.
No back room inventory.
No “I can make one more real quick.”

Just a small batch straight outta the lab. 🧪🔥

📍 The Dam Market
🕚 11:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Come see your local bread dealer and grab one before somebody else beats you to it.

SOLD OUT. 🍞🖤

Man… where do I even start.

Another market day, another sellout. Every week y’all continue to show up, support local businesses, and remind me why I started this crazy journey in the first place.

What began with a starter and a quiet dream has turned into something bigger than I ever imagined. Seeing familiar faces come back week after week, meeting new customers, hearing people talk about their favorite loaves, and watching folks line up before the market even opens is honestly humbling.

To everyone who bought a loaf, grabbed a cookie, tried a bagel, shared a post, told a friend, or simply stopped by to say hello…thank you. None of this happens without you.

The Bearded Baker isn’t just me anymore. It’s become a community of people who believe in supporting local, sharing good food, and helping small dreams grow into something real.

We’ll be back next week with fresh bread, fresh ideas, and maybe a few surprises from the laboratory. 👀

And with the outdoor market next weekend….we pulling out all the stuff, so be ready!!

Until then, thank you for supporting your local bread dealer.
