This beautiful loaf found its home yesterday morning with a very special couple. In exchange for their incredible childcare, I bake them fresh bread. Baked goods make wonderful gifts.

Of course, we all know they’d happily watch my kids without the bread—because that’s what grandparents do. But let’s be honest, a warm loaf of bread doesn’t hurt! 🥰

Cheers to the unsung heroes of our families—grandparents! ❤️

It’s a cozy day in the kitchen this afternoon:

1️⃣ Chicken stock from bones and pieces of chickens we previously butchered simmering away in the Instant Pot—warm, golden goodness to can for future use. 🍗

2️⃣ Cream (from a local farm!) churning into butter—because there’s nothing better than homemade richness straight from the source. 🧈

3️⃣ A sourdough loaf is in the works, getting prepped for future meals. 🥖

How have you been spending your snowed in days?

I've tried my hand at beekeeping in past years, but it turns out it’s not quite my calling. Thankfully, SHoney Farm is crushing the beekeeping scene! They are a hardworking family operation and I take great joy in supporting their efforts.

As the colder temperatures settle in, I’ve had to adjust my classic sourdough technique. After some trial and error, I think I’ve finally found my winter sourdough groove.

I will be donating two pies again this year! Pecan and 🍏Apple🍏. Both will have sourdough crusts with a minimum of 12 hour fermentation time. The fermentation is what makes sourdough better and easier to digest. Go give it a try and support the library!

Last call on pre-ordering chickens! Deposits are due September 1st to secure your number of chickens.

Our Cornish Cross chickens are processed just shy of 8 weeks which makes for a 6 pound (on average) processed chicken. Processing date is October 5th.
Other details to know...

🤍 Most importantly, we humanely raise and process our chickens. They are raised on pasture and moved to fresh grass two times a day.
🖤 We sell our chickens as whole birds. You can pick them up fresh on processing day. I understand not everyone has a deep freeze so picking up fresh and then piecing apart the chicken saves you a lot of space in your freezer!
🤍 Pre-ordered chickens will be sold at $3.50/lb. We will order extra chickens to sell throughout the year to be sold at $4/lb.
🖤 Each bird requires a $5 deposit. Our chickens weigh between 5 & 7 pounds. You pay $5 by Sept. 1st and $12.50 later for a 5 pound whole chicken.
🤍 Minimum of 5 chickens to pre-order.

We appreciate every single one of you. Please reach out if you have questions!
