I usually make jam when fruit is in season. This past summer I froze some Bardenhagen strawberries, so I will likely make some jam this winter for spring sales. Otherwise, watch for my homemade jam this summer!
What’s coming out of the kitchen?
I often joke that I moved to Leelanau county to start a farm, and became a baker. My baked goods menu has expanded since I opened in 2014, and I’ve been lucky to gain the support of many locals. Baked goods are sold all summer at the farm stand and seasonally for some holidays. Every weekend I make bread, cinnamon rolls and brownies.
I usually add muffins and a cake with that. Muffins that might be offered are pumpkin with chocolate chips, apple streusel, blueberry, and anything that highlights in season fruit. My top selling cakes are chocolate buttermilk pound cake, sour cream tart cherry, carrot cake, lemon blueberry buttermilk pound cake, apple amaretto cake, and lemon ricotta cake. In the summer I offer crumble top pies too. We hope you’ll stop by and see what we’ve got cooking!
