Well that's a wrap..you all sold me out and turned this into a record day today. Thank you everyone who came by and thank you . See you again down the line ❤️

Well I was going to post at 2:30 saying I was all set-up at - but then you all started showing up. And kept showing up ❤️...thank you to all the early arrivals. This is what I've got left for the day as of 3pm - traditional and everything bagel challah in two sizes, one chocolate babka and one chocolate raspberry babka. Come grab it and fresh produce for the weekend inside the farm store!

Showing my elder millennial stripes and doing a little post (oh my gosh I haven't written a hashtag in years 😆)...

On the left you have a picture of the first "challah" I ever made - that was in quotes as I remember it tasting more like an Italian bread. If you squint, you can kind of see the braids in it, I guess. 😆

But as the cliche goes, practice makes perfect. And I practiced a lot. And made you all a lot of bread once I got better at doing it. And eventually added babka to the mix as well.

On the right you have the most recent picture on my camera roll of bread - a chocolate raspberry babka you can snag at tomorrow, starting at 2:30. I'm proud of how this last special came out, and I'll have plenty of it and a lot of your other favorites at the farm store tomorrow. So sing by, grab some bread and some fresh winter goodies from the farm and say goodbye. ❤️

I teased it in the pop-up announcement post the other day, but it feels right to give my final special babka its own spotlight!

This chocolate raspberry babka was a labor of love intended for Valentine's Day - I took my standard chocolate filling and added a healthy amount of red raspberry jam into the mix. The tester batches I've made with this one have been light, fluffy and delicious. 🤤

Come grab one on Friday, February 13th at between 2:30-6pm! I'll also have chocolate and apple cinnamon babka + traditional and everything bagel challah on hand for you to get one last fix of. ❤️

Well… the time has come to share what will be my last event and availability.

I’ll be doing one final pop-up on Friday, February 13th with my friends at Heron Pond Farm. They’ve been some of my biggest supporters from the very beginning, and such a wonderful partner along the way—so it feels full-circle and right to close this chapter with them.

I’ll be set up inside the farm store from 2:30–6 PM (or until sell-out — I’ll update here if that happens early!) with a big assortment of challah and babka. And since it’s Valentine’s Day weekend, it felt only right to end with one last special: chocolate raspberry babka.

No preorders this time—just come by, grab one last loaf, and say goodbye. I’d really love to see you there.

Unfortunately the impending snow storm has cancelled my last appearance at 😕...I want to thank the market organizers and for the opportunity to join this special event these last couple of seasons, and I'm sad that the weather had other ideas around this last appearance today.

Stay safe and warm these next couple of days everyone, and stay tuned here for news on some final bread availability in February.

This was a hard post to write that I've been sitting on for a bit now.

I want to also add a special thanks to and - you've all been super helpful and supportive as I've gotten a chance to act on this long held dream. I hope to see many of you at MarketDaze on Sunday for some more Challah and Babka. ❤️

New year = new loaf shapes...tried my hand at a different type of round challah loaf this week and I'm loving the results!

It's as big as the loaves I was making in December and perfect for French Toast and slicing for sandwiches 🤤...come grab some on Sunday at at from 12-4pm!

I'll have a limited supply of challah and babka this week, so please plan to come early if you want your pick of the selection!
