About Find A Way....

Find A Way Bake and Crochet is whatever you need it to be. When I started this endeavor, the intention was to make it as collaborative and dynamic as possible. I do a bakery service of breads, tarts, bagels, and cookies, but I'll also do special orders such as pies and cakes. If you've got a copy of Grandma's recipe and want it made for you, I'll find a way to bake it.

I also crochet, make jewelry, and paint. Is there a designer crocheted/knit bag you've been coveting but don't want to splurge on it? I'll find a way to make it. Is Mom's birthday coming up, and you need a gift you know she'll love? Let's work together to design some one-of-a-kind earrings just for her.

I love crafting, whether it's with bread or yarn or beads or sculpey. And I love community. Can I integrate the two? This is me trying to find a way.

Ingredients and Responsible Sourcing

When I say "responsibly" I mean I will consider all aspects of the food production and procurement. The majority of the fruits for pies and such will either be local or be purchased from a local vendor (such as the Hethwood Market near Foxridge, or The Green Market at the farmers market or Oasis). I always take into consideration which industry I want to support. Usually, local beats out the Big Organic stuff, because it's just as wasteful and industrial as conventional.

In regards to flours, Big Spring Mill (the local brand), uses a soft winter wheat which is unsuitable for bread but good for cakes and muffins and such. I plan on using both the flour (relatively local and a good price) available at Eats and King Arthur brand to do my breads.

My eggs are all local. I worked on a farm two summers ago and basically fell in love with the chickens there. Haha, I feel like they would disown me if I bought store eggs now. My dairy will either be from Duchess (purchased at Oasis or Hethwood Market) or Homestead (likely purchased from Kroger).

My herbs are either homegrown, bought from the farmers market, or store-bought.

If you'd like, I can give you a listing of origin of the ingredients that go into your item(s) each week.

Past Raves and Reviews

Your (maple walnut) bread is delicious. It's so dense, I love it. It's got a good penetration of the maple flavor without hitting me over the head with sweetness, and the walnuts blend in with the bread so well that I can't tell where they are in my slice and get a wonderful surprise when I bite down on one. (DANimal)

There isn't anything appropriate I could say in public about that shortbread tart. It was that good. (Alex)

You're like a bad crack dealer. Get me hooked and then leave me waiting. (Elan)

Hey,
I was feeling really stressed out about all of the things I have to do, and that deliciously unexpected cookie made me feel a lot better.
thanks (Dan)

This sammich loaf is FANTASTIC. (Emily)

The sheepies are addictive. (Spencer)

I make sammiches almost every day using your sammich loaves! In fact, one loaf and a jar of peanut butter constituted all the food i ate over the weekend not provided by the conference i was attending, and i have no complaints (except that the peanut butter came in a plastic jar for which i now must find a use).
