I have actual tears in my eyes making this post... This is all that I have left! I cannot thank you guys enough. This weekend has been so amazing, and I'm so thankful for everyone who has supported me in this little bread biz!
This whole adventure, I've had never-ending support from my family, and I'd like to shout out a few people who have made everything possible.
My aunt Wendy Benton and grandma Marquita Benton have supported me in every single way they can, and I honestly may not have even tried selling my bread if it hadn't been for their constant support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
My uncle Mike Tolla provides homemade strawberry jam for the strawberry rolls and garlic from his garden for the garlic bread, and if you've ever tasted either one, you'll know how extraordinary that makes them!
My husband Hunter Rinehart puts in more than anyone. Whether it's waking up at 5 because I set off the smoke alarms, or staying up all night to help me make labels and prep ingredients, he's my constant support and strength. He's the one who keeps me fed on the busy nights and cleans up the trainwreck of a kitchen behind me when I head off to the market with everything baked. I couldn't have a better life partner, and this wouldn't be possible without him.
And finally, thank you to everyone who has stopped in, followed along on socials, and given my bread a try! I couldn't be more grateful for this community and incredible turnout. Everyone I've met through this experience, especially the other vendors I've met, have been incredibly kind, supportive, and helpful to me getting started. Thank you all for being here, and I hope to see you all again soon!
