Freckled Kitchen

sometimes the best thing you can do for something you love is give it room to breathe.

after a lot of reflection, i’ve decided to take a little break from baking. my last bread drop will be 8/23, and then i’ll be stepping away until october.

between balancing a full-time 9-5, life outside of work, and pouring my whole heart into every loaf, i’ve realized my cup needs a chance to be refilled. i never want this business to become something i feel burnt out by.

freckled kitchen has always been a labor of love. every loaf, every recipe, every bread drop, and every conversation with this community has been something i’m incredibly grateful for. i want to protect that feeling.

this isn’t goodbye, it’s simply a pause to rest, reset, and come back with the same joy that inspired me to start baking in the first place.

thank you for supporting this little dream of mine and for allowing me the space to take care of myself, too. i can’t wait to bake for you again soon. 🤎

big news, virginia! 🤍🍞 homemade, fresh-baked bread is no longer limited to local pickup.

thanks to virginia’s updated cottage food law, freckled kitchen can now ship fresh bread statewide! that means whether you’re across town or across the commonwealth, you can enjoy a loaf delivered to your doorstep.

starting with my upcoming bread drop on 7/12, you’ll have three ways to get your bread:
📦 statewide shipping
🚗 local delivery
🏡 porch pickup

when placing your order, simply:
• choose “statewide shipping or delivery” if you’d like your bread shipped or delivered, then send me your address after ordering.
• choose “freckled kitchen” if you’d like to pick up your order from my porch on 7/12.

this is such an exciting milestone for my little microbakery, and i can’t wait to share fresh, small-batch bread with even more homes across virginia.

thank you for supporting freckled kitchen! here’s to breaking bread together, no matter where you are. order now: https://www.hotplate.com/freckledkitchen/a7b326a7-befd-4cc1-919e-3e33183da5fe
