Happy Wednesday everyone! ☀️⭐️☀️
Firstly, thank you for a wonderful pop up this past Saturday at .ohio 🩷. Your support is amazing!
Secondly, I wanted to let you all know that Stoodt’s Market has made the decision to increase their retail price of my bread. I approved the decision but was unaware they planned for it to take effect immediately and i apologize I wasn’t able to give anyone notice for that change ahead of time. We appreciate our relationship with Stoodt’s but if the price increase is a limitation for anyone, remember you can always contact me directly a pick up order to have your original price 😊

Now let’s dive in! Remember, extra breads available every day (just message me! 🤗), as well as pasta and granola.
🍁Today: delivering bread, granola, and your dropoff orders to ! Also dropping off bread to Stoodt’s, and restocking sourdough pasta at .
