growing a family business

Our Story

The story of how we landed here wasn't one we had planned. Actually, we often laugh about how this is now a reality. Up until a handful of years ago I couldn't bake anything from scratch and had never planted a flower seed.

Our journey to sourdough was purely by accident. We were buying locally and during a blizzard ran out of our favorite loaf. I did the research and attempted to make my own from scratch and failed. And I continued to fail many times, but finally, after many loaves ending up as chicken feed, we successfully made a loaf.

With more and more practice, adjusting the recipe, sharing with family and friends, it turned into something bigger. We now offer everything from traditional sourdough loaves to our fan favorite coffee cake muffin to espresso brownies. Our menu is always rotating, so make sure to check back often.

In the Spring of 2020, we had our third baby and had a very unscheduled summer. We started a flower garden for fun and i was hooked from that first bloom. We've evolved over the years and focus on field to vase blooms, seasonal flower subscription offerings, and wholesale supplementation.

To best serve our customers we opened the Farmstand in the summer of 2025. The Farmstand is located on our property, next to the flower field. It serves as a pick-up point for our sourdough goods and our blooms. Although it's self-serve, you will most likely find us caring for flowers or the kids greeting you as you pick up your order.

Thanks for stopping by & we hope to serve you soon.

Meet Our Family

We both grew up on farms in rural Nebraska with agriculturally focused families. When we moved to southeast South Dakota, we knew that we wanted to raise a family in the country. Once the babies came along it became clear that we wanted to cultivate a place for them to move & grow. Over the years we've created a special place that means so much to us and we hope you can visit sometime too.
