Around Town
Good bread is better shared, and some of our favorite moments happen outside the kitchen — at a convenient porch pickup, a cozy Friday at Blue Apple Books on Main Street, or a hands-on class where someone folds their first loaf of sourdough. These are the moments that remind us why we started baking in the first place.
We love being part of this community and showing up in ways that feel personal and accessible. If you've been looking for a reason to say hello, this is it. Scroll down to find us — we'd love to see you out there.

Our beginner-friendly class is available the last Sunday of each month.

You'll leave with hands-on knowledge and the confidence to make sourdough a regular part of your routine.

Ready to level up? This workshop is for bakers who've nailed the basics and want to dive deeper—bulk fermentation, timing vs. temperature, shaping, working with inclusions, and learning to read your dough instead of the clock.
We'll troubleshoot common challenges, refine your technique, and talk through the tools that actually make a difference. You'll leave with a shaped loaf, comprehensive guides, and the confidence to bake consistently great bread.
