We been really busy with the farmers market making breads, cookies. Not much time for sausage making (and I have family asking for stix)>>>>>>soon.

Friend made us a logo. Said with your background this is all you.

The folks here are not much into fancy packaging so we keep it simple.
In KY all home made items have to be labeled with ingredients and where baked as well as any allergen warning.

From Sundays mkt. We sell out in 4 hrs.

My wifes baked items. The no flour pnutbutter cookies sell fast.
I tell her to ditch the green paper and go with the small chalk board signs.

We also got an invite to do the Tractor supply farmers mkt on Saturdays, My friend asked me if I can have enough breads for both days? Ummmm maybe.

The farmers mkt last day is end of October for the season. I have customers asking if I will take orders so I have been and they are more than happy to come to the house to pick up breads/cookies.

So my project I'm working on now (time allowing)
Is a farm stand. This way I can sell most of the cold months.
Local laws just say I have to be at least 20' from the road and being we are still rural I need no special permits. Yay

We have power right by the driveway so I will build in a space for a small fridge to keep the baked goods wife makes cool.

Here are a few pics im thinking about
(not my pics)
I'm thinking on wheels so I can put in garage when its freezing or snowy out.

So like Paul Harvey used to say
"Now you know the rest of the story". Lol
 
That logo is awesome. The stands are cool too I really like the first one. And having wheels would be nice too like you said.
 
Man that is a lot of baking..... now taking orders and selling all you can make is a good gig anyway you look at it..... I know I would sign up for 2 loafs a week and just keep them coming all year long..... Love the logo by the way!!!!!!!
 
That's awesome Rick...

Won't be long (if not already) you'll be working in the kitchen every waken hour... 7 days a week...

As Winterrider Winterrider said...


You'll be adding on another kitchen soon so both of you can have your own...
In the basement is hot/cold water faucet, 220 where they had an oven at one point and a drain.
 
Thanks everyone.

My BIL in TX said your little hobby is a full on business now.
Yeah it looks like it.

I do have to break out the stuffer soon to make some stix for some family.
