Product Availability:  Please note that most products are made to order and due to the nature of the ingredients or processing times, may not be available for immediate pickup.  For example, sourdough is a live yeast culture that often takes 48 or more hours to be ready for baking.  

Our items are made to order using fresh, quality ingredients.

  • Baked goods are typically ready within 2–3 days
  • Sourdough goods are typically ready in 3-4 days
  • Pickled items require 12–14 days to allow preparation, proper brining and flavor development

We do our best to increase availability when demand is high, but preparation times help us ensure the quality and flavor you expect.  While we work to keep popular items in stock, some products require additional preparation time to maintain quality. Pickup details will be provided once your order is ready. Thank you for supporting small-batch, handcrafted food!  

Our Promise:  We use quality ingredients when in-season and will do our best to maintain a steady inventory of brined and canned items.
