The announcement I’ve been dreading to make.

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS in 2027 😔

I made a video announcement two or three times and I just can’t find myself with the strength to post it. This is our real reality. This is the reality for many small businesses, especially those in the food industry.

You guys are used to a long drawn out explanation, but I’m just going to keep it short and sweet this time. Our sales have not bounced back. With a 45% drop, I’ve been working for free all year. When you love what you do, it’s an easy thing to get used to. But lately it hasn’t been easy, it’s been really really hard. I’ve been grasping at straws for a really long time while trying to keep my head above water mentally and emotionally. Not making any money at all has put a financial stress on my family as you can imagine. Everything has a season, and I can definitely say I am grateful and blessed God has put me on this journey for the last 5 years. I’ve celebrated with people. I’ve mourned with people. So many friendly conversations and people just popping in to say hi. Bonding over a universal love language ❤️

I’m absolutely going to miss it, but I am hopeful and have faith that whatever God has planned next for me will be even better. There is a difference between being satisfied and being fulfilled. Having a lot of time to reflect this year, I can say that closing this business is bittersweet. I poured more into the business than I did my own family’s cup for a very long time, which I think happens to most business owners. Moving forward I have a fresh start to nurture my family in a way that they deserve.

A few things that might answer some questions:

• I will continue business through the end of this year, if you have an order it is absolutely safe
• I am still booking orders for events through the end of December
• I will be selling off most of my inventory
• After we close, I do plan on making pantry pouch meals (dry packed) from home as they are shelf stable and can be made under the cottage food law. I do not plan on making desserts on a regular basis, but may have brownies or something occasionally.
•My landlord and I are in communication and may already have a potential renter for the space. I will not give details about that however I will say that it is not going to be food related. The insurance on a building that runs and operates food/bakery is very expensive and my landlord is not interested in renting the space out for that again.
• I am not taking personal orders. Only event orders.
•There is potential for future catering jobs if the location has a licensed kitchen.

Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. Here’s to a new adventure, a new normal, and whatever God has planned for us. 💕🙏

Hey friends! It’s been a minute so I just wanted to check in. I’ve been running all over lately between sports, caterings and trying to keep life in order. Getting a lot of book work done too making wholesale menus and working on labels. The first full week of October I am going to be slammed (6 events!) so I have been able to get planning done for that as well. I am hoping to start opening once a week after that, so mid October. I am still here, still hustling, just adapting to a new normal. I have a TON of dry packed meals made and ready to go as well, I will be going to the post office soon to get an idea on shipping! 🍽️

📸: New catering menu item and probably the best pasta I’ve ever had!!! Creamy sausage garlic & herb radiatori- shout out to my girl Danielle Carter for the recipe!!! 🤤

Ps- I will NOT be open during the Homecoming this weekend. We have plans to be out of town so we will be CLOSED. I hope everyone has a great weekend between homecoming and the Blair Farm Fall Festival!! Sad we are missing it but will enjoy a weekend away 🍂❤️

I have a confession….. I have never actually baked & enjoyed one of my Pot Pies. It’s true. I’ve made many of my frozen fruit pies but never a dinner pie and LET ME TELL YOU. 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼

I do have some in stock and I’ll be around on Friday for a bit so if you want to snag one- message me!!! 🥧 🦃 🥕

Hey food lovers! I’ve had a little something up my sleeve for the past few weeks and after a couple meetings, I’m so happy to announce a small expansion of my delicious food items! Starting in October, D.L. Southend will be housing Porch Swing Bakery & Kitchen sandwiches, wraps, soups, cheesecake, salads, freezer meals and home style single serve meals. I’m so blessed for the opportunity to work with another small business and help each other fill a void. She’s got the demand, I’ve got the supply! So if you’re in the Duck Lake area or you frequent the General Store, be sure to pop in for some delicious food (along with many other items) and a warm hello from the owners!!! 🦆

Starting immediately, I will NOT be open for retail with any specific business hours. I will still be providing dry packed meals and freezer meals for pickup or delivery. I will post each week what specific day and time in which I will be open for you to come in and shop for those items. I will not keep stock any lunch or dessert items at this time. I will also be declining any personal orders under $100. Moving forward I will be focusing solely on meals and event catering (both food and dessert). Shifting our space from a retail storefront to a production kitchen facility only.

Before you visit, please check this page. This is where I will be posting any and all updates and announcements. What days I will be open, what times, what I’ll have etc.

The crazy thing about life is that it truly is unpredictable. No matter how much you plan. No matter how much you prepare. You never end up where you thought you would, but that’s also what keeps it exciting. I have put my faith in God with this business every step of the way since the market began to shift. I’m confident that he will continue to guide me down the path I’m suppose to be. Sometimes the road is smooth, sometimes it’s bumpy, and sometimes there’s a complete roadblock. The most important thing is that I continue to move forward in whatever direction that keeps me grounded, keeps the integrity of my business and keeps us above water. Thank you to everyone who’s been along for the ride, we are still chugging along. Stay tuned friends! ❤️🍽️

Looking for lunch today?!

Pop over to the Dollar General in Concord to see my guy at Southern Boy Bar B Que! Best barbecue you’ll ever have! We always order the smoked chicken nachos… and no, they are not spicy! Truly a flavor all its own, Peewee knows what he’s doing! 🍗💨🔥
