I was discussing homemade sourdough vs grocery store sourdough on my personal FB. Many were suprised to learn that store bought sourdough contains yeast and does not have the slow ferment benefits. I've since looked at many store sourdough labels and the ingredients contained a lot of preservative and all used yeast to leven. The starter was mainly added as flavoring to give it the sourdough tang without the potential health benefits. This article discusses the differences.

Although the stand is not open I will be avaiable for limited orders of bread on the 7th and 8th. I will also be making pies for my family's Thanksgiving and will be able to do some extra if anyone is interested. Pumpkin and old fashioned raisin will definitely be happening but fillings can vary. Please inbox to make arragements as I will be limiting orders 🙂

The pies at my house all tend to get a little sinister in October 🤭🫣

Sinister pies are my favorite

Hello everyone
I'm working the next few weekends and almost out of vacation time so my little stand will remain closed until I'm free again. During this time I will be developing a plan for orders/porch pick ups during the winter.

I will post in advance of next opening and hopefully the weather will cooperate 😊
