So the Yorktown Market isn't starting until the 30th which is unfortunate but I thought that I might make a post asking if anyone would like to place an order for pickup this Friday or Saturday! You can pretty much order anything on my menu you like, except for the Earl Gray sourdough! I just can't make deliveries, it has to be pick up only, downtown Muncie.

Hey everyone! Long time no see! I just thought I'd let you know that I am excited to be at the Yorktown Farm & Artisan Market Friday May 30th from 4:30 to 7:30! It is located in Morrow's Meadow right in the center of a beautiful grove of walnut trees! I'll be bringing as many different kinds of bread as I possibly can along with the greatest cookies in the entire universe! I will definitely have my Pull-Apart Garlic Cheese Bread, my Bearded Sourdough and Rosemary Sourdough! It has been a murky winter and I am looking forward to getting back to the bread, and I'm excited to have you with me!

Edit: I guess they've moved it back to May 30th so I'll see you Friday May 30th then!

I found a driver for the summer market season!!! Yay!!!

Hey guys! I am looking for a driver for the summer Farmers Market season! You'll have to be free to take me to market in Yorktown's Morrow's Meadow at 3:30 and then pick me back up three hours later between 7:00 and 7:30 every Friday from the first Friday of May till the last Friday of September, so about an hour of your time total every Friday. Crucially, you'll need to have either an SUV, wagon, minivan or some such other vehicle with at least 5 1/2 feet in space lengthwise and relative cleanliness. For reference, I previously drove a PriusV and everything fit easily after I laid the seats down. I can pay you $40 every week, plus perks like the occasional loaf of bread and/or cookie. If that sounds good to you or if you have questions, just comment below or you can send me a direct message and thanks in advance! Doing things this way will help me save money to get another vehicle as soon as I can. I hope everyone is having a great day!

I am hard-pressed to think of anything better than my Bearded Sourdough when it is fresh.

Good afternoon everyone! Just wanted to give everybody an update on my situation! I have finally formulated what I think is a good solid plan! I think I am going to hunker down for the winter, still taking pickup orders of course then in the summertime I will hire someone to take me to the Yorktown Farm & Artisan Market on Friday evenings until I have managed to save enough to purchase a good reliable vehicle. I feel like that's the most sensible way to do it rather than trying to throw everything I have at the situation right now.. Long story short, you will definitely see me at the Yorktown Market this summer! I absolutely appreciate and am immensely grateful to everyone who has helped and been patient with me through this difficult time. I have the best customers ever! Thank you all and I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

Hey guys, I've been thinking and just because I'm having these issues with my car doesn't mean people still can't have bread so I just wanted to let everyone know that you can still order from me! I just need a day's notice and it unfortunately will have to be pick up only at my home in Muncie until I can get my vehicle back but I'm more than happy to make bread for you! Just message me on here or text 765-713-9005.

I'm eating hot dogs wrapped in puff pastry. 1. Never did I think I would go through all the trouble of making puff pastry for hot dogs and 2. It's pretty yummy but really it just makes me want a corn dog lol

Without the ability to go to markets, all of the dough that I've had sitting fermenting in the fridge now goes to my tummy. Hopefully soon I'll be able to make you some sourdough again!
