First Bread Order


Hello! Today I went to the grand opening of the little store I mention to you all at the market! It's called Back To Our Roots. Very lovely, filled with rustic type Prairie Chic home treasures. Handmade candles, bath and body products, Sweet Annie wreaths, barnwood shelves and benches all  hand made by the girls who opened the store. I was amazed at what all they put together, I hope you get a chance to stop by and shop.

Speaking of that: I will be there at  Back to Our Roots with our bread orders next Friday (on Nov. 7th). I wont have bread on display for sale as we don't have that set up but I can make deliveries. It will be such a comfortable place to meet and I am planning on having a few bread samples out - trying a new recipe.

I will be at the store from 2pm until 4:30 or 5:00pm. I look forward to seeing you there, I think you'll enjoy looking around the little shop as well.

At the home front: we made great progress on the oven last week end, I look forward to putting up some photos. Actually, I'm really looking forward to finding out how well it bakes with all that field stone holding in the heat!

So, if you are interested in some sourdough or pizza crusts next week let me know!
Make your order on the  Can I take Your Order page or send me an email.
Take care and hopefully I'll see you next week!

Getting My Act Together!


Thank you all for your patience!

I have finally finished setting up the order page. I hope it is clear and easy to understand. I'm thinking, in the future, that I may be able to add a calculator to help us tally your sums & totals as you make your orders, but since I did this myself with a half a dozen kids at my elbow offering advice I left it as it is! Ok, Blogger and Google have a lot of free cool tools but I couldn't find a calculator!

And since you are reading this you were able to activate your subscription, thank you!

Ok, whew! So, I am open to take orders (Monday the 3rd)  for a delivery on Friday November 7th...I know, it's some time from now, but I really need to get this school room in order before I get to baking again. Oh, and I might go on strike...if Bryon doesn't get a roof up over the oven before ANYmore (can you believe it?) snow flies! Wouldn't that be nice!
 I'll post pictures of our finished bake house when it comes along.

Take Care and talk to you soon!

Winter Bread Sales


Hello to all of you! It was a beautiful summer, wasn't it? Saturdays at the market were just lovely!
Thank you so much for all your email addresses and allowing me to reach out to you.

Well, I was sad to realize that my two outlets for winter bread sales fell through. The store my friends are opening will not be ready to sell food products for some time.

So, I was wondering what all of you would be willing to do? There are places to meet: like the Walmart parking lot in Piqua was suggested. Or if anyone has any other neutral place you know about, that would be suitable, please give me ideas. And in the meantime maybe a building or other facility would present itself.

At this point I would love to take orders as often as every two weeks. It will depend on the quantity, I would have to have a minimum total of 8 loaves/pizza crusts/cookies per group order.
 You can make orders clicking on the "Can I Take Your Order" tab at the top of this page.

So, I wanted to introduce this little website in order to share information about our bread, our family and our process. I would like to post photos and updates here often as we develop new recipes and be able to share the progress on our brick oven.

Anyway, feel free to contact me here in the comments box below, on our facebook page, or thru email. It will be great hearing from you.
