The Bread Bowl

09/05/2026

I started back to work full time this week in a role that I absolutely love and a company that rocks! That being said, I’m not going to make it to the Bridgeport Farmers Market tomorrow (09/06). Still trying to get my timing down to make sure everything is fresh.

With that in mind, I’ve always been invested in my career which has lagged since Covid hit. Baking bread was always my very enjoyable and satisfying ‘side hustle’ if you will. I believe this might be my last year as a baker. Opening the shop in Shinnston and not being successful was a journey unto itself. Long hours, little to no return and so on, as many small business experience. I have many passions, sewing and weaving are my favorites that I left behind and want to resurrect, they bring me peace, satisfaction and happiness.

That being said, if anyone would like to continue this small business (recipes, training and lots of experience) please reach out. It’s quite successful (monetarily and satisfactorily) during Market Season. Guys, I’m just worn out and looking for a schedule that fits for me and my old ass… 😊

Ok ya’ll, we will be set up at Bridgeport Farmers Market tomorrow (08/16). The forecast isn’t looking the best but we know that can change in a matter of minutes, so we’re hoping for best case scenario! We are scaling back some with our inventory. It’s tough to calculate product levels and throwing the weather into the mix is pretty much impossible 🤷🏻‍♀️. So, please message if you’d like something set aside. We’ll see you tomorrow! 🌧️☂️☀️🌞

We are heading into full baking mode tomorrow! Of course we missed the cooler weather, but fresh is fresh…

08/08/2026

We are back baby!! Tomorrow we’ll be set up at Bridgeport Farmers Market (BFM2), our one and only market 😊

We’ve missed all your faces, conversations, silly moments, dog watching, vendor camaraderie, good smells, sunshine and so much more last week! I’d like to say I had severe FOMO (fear of missing out) even though I’m pretty sure that phrase is now old school 😂

French Bread will be back along with Sourdough (original, jalapeno cheddar & garlic herb) and all your other favorites! Garlic & Herb Sun Bread is now in our summer rotation ☀️🧄🍞

See y’all tomorrow!

I am in several Sourdough groups and I usually just read questions, comments, and sometimes join in when I may be of help. One question proposed today was ‘how much do you charge for a loaf of sourdough?’ The price range was all over the place. I answered with $7 for a loaf that’s a little over 1-1/2 pounds. You would have thought I was an absolute monster from the comments I received. So, I broke down the math for them regarding ingredients and sale price. Then I was a monster for not charging for my time.

Here’s the thing, I do charge for my time. However, I’ve been making Sourdough (before it was cool 😂) for 13 years. I’ve had my same, made from scratch, starter and she’s an absolute workhorse! This beast does most of the work and I have time to do other things. It’s a waiting game and I’m able to control the process (slow it down or speed it up) with water temperature. So unless the price of flour and sea salt go up, I’m sticking with my price. Loaves with inclusions are $8 and that’s to cover for the extra ingredients. So, that’s where I’m coming from on my pricing. I want people to enjoy it. ☮️ ❤️ 🍞
