🍞 DO YOU ALL HAVE WHIPLASH FROM ME YET?! 😂
Because guess what? THERE WILL BE A BREAD SHED! 🏡🥖
Yes, I know. One minute I’m talking about closing up for winter, the next I’m talking pre-orders, and now I’ve apparently purchased an entire tiny building dedicated to carbohydrates.
She should be arriving NEXT FRIDAY! And no, I haven’t figured out how I’m explaining this one to my husband yet. 😂
Here’s the thing…
When I started Baked on Bartlett, I had one very simple idea: I wanted good, homemade bread to be available to anyone who wanted or needed it, regardless of whether they had money in their pocket that day.
Not everyone has an extra $10 for a loaf of bread. Sometimes payday is tomorrow. Sometimes life is just expensive. And sometimes you just need someone to do something kind without having to explain yourself.
That’s why I started with a pay-what-you-can system. No questions. No judgment. No awkward conversations. Take what you need, leave what you can, and if you can’t leave anything that day, that’s okay too.
And while I genuinely appreciate everyone who’s supported the pre-order system, I realized that somewhere along the way, I was drifting away from the very thing that made me want to do this in the first place.
So we’re bringing it back. ❤️
The plan is to have fresh sourdough available weekly, on a pay-what-you-can basis, for as far into this New Hampshire winter as this adorable little shed and I can manage. ❄️
Pre-orders will likely stick around for specialty breads, sweet treats, and all the other ridiculous things I decide to bake at 2 AM.
And one more thing…
I want to start showing up here a little more as me. More personality, more behind-the-scenes chaos, more humor, and probably a healthy dose of sarcasm.
Humor is how I survive most things in life. I’m not everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s perfectly fine. The people who get me will stick around, and hopefully we’ll have some laughs along the way.
At the end of the day, this was never about building some big bakery empire.
It’s about bread, kindness, community, and making sure that needing a little help never means having to ask for it.
Thanks for being here, for supporting this slightly chaotic adventure, and for letting me keep changing my mind. 😂
And don’t worry, the little free book swap isn’t going anywhere either! 📚❤️ Bring a book, take a book, discover something new. No money required, just a little sharing between neighbors.
Ok… I’m done for now, you may resume scrolling 🤠
