What a weekend at the 2025 Western Reserve Homesteading Summit! We had an overwhelming number of attendees at our class both days, great discussions, and very positive feedback. I'm looking forward to next year - maybe pizza and pasta?As promised, you will find our presentation with this post. I'm planning to write out each slide as well, but that will be a bit. If you haven't signed up for our Irregular Newsletter, you can do so now, right here!

Our first Virtual Farmstand is here! Starting tomorrow morning, you can place an order for our breads, cinnamon rolls, cookies, donuts, and more for pick up at Advent Lutheran Church in Solon, Ohio next week Wednesday.

Fresh starts! Our trip to Italy was amazing and surreal. The good food and lots of walking were rejuvenating! I'm feeling great to get started on what is going to be a busy year!To start 2025 off on an upbeat note, I've been asked to do a breadmaking class for the 2025 Western Reserve Homesteading Summit at Lake Metropark January 18-19! I'm so excited and nervous, but it will be a great time. There are some big names speaking there, notable Joel Salatin. You can check out the specifics at Western Reserve Homestead Summit.Besides prepping for the summit, I have some business admin to accomplish, and a remodel of the bakery (yes, again) to better support current and future growth. I'm planning to do most all of the Chardon Farmer's Markets this year, starting in May, and expanding my product line to include donuts (yum!), focaccia, and some different flavors of bread. Let me know if there is anything you would like to see me offer in the comments!

We had a great time at Christmas in the Barn at Avon UMC yesterday! It was great to see familiar faces and friends. We sold out of our sourdough and signature breads and had some good conversation about a gluten-free option in the new year!For those just visiting our site for the first time, we are still working on getting everything set up. The store will come online in January as we are taking a holiday break for the rest of December to enjoy with our families.
