You already know how to bake good bread. Now let’s turn it into something you can sell.
When I started baking sourdough in 2020, I was only trying to feed my family. Today I bake 100+ loaves a week in my regular home oven and sell out at our Saturday farmers market in a couple of hours. I didn’t get there with a commercial kitchen or a stand mixer (I still don’t own one). I got there with simple recipes, a clear plan, and a lot of doing it scared.

This guide is everything I wish someone had handed me before I sold my first loaf.

What’s inside
    •    My real production schedule. The exact Thursday-to-Saturday timeline I use to bake 100+ pans of focaccia for one market, plus how to shift it for a Friday or Sunday market.
    •    Bulk recipes that scale. My market focaccia, artisan loaf, and French loaf, written as batches of 10, with scaling charts up to 50.
    •    Starter building for big bakes. How to grow enough active starter for 10 or 100 pans, with a feeding chart, container sizes, and timing.
    •    Bread math made simple. Baker’s percentages explained so you can scale any recipe with confidence.
    •    How I price. My actual menu and prices, the reasoning behind each one, and a real bake broken down by the numbers: costs, my hourly wage, and profit.
    •    Market setup and selling tips. What goes on my table, how to build repeat customers, upselling ideas, and how to answer the questions every customer asks.
    •    Food safety and packaging. What to look up before your first sale and how I label and package everything.
    •    8 printable production worksheets. Starter calculator, market production planner, ingredient checklist, shopping list, packaging checklist, market packing and setup checklists, and a sales and income tracker.

This guide is for you if...
    •    You bake sourdough at home and people keep telling you to sell it
    •    You want to start at a farmers market, porch pickup, or with local customers
    •    You’re unsure what to charge or how many loaves you can realistically make
    •    You’re baking around kids, chores, and a full life, and need a plan that fits
You don’t need a storefront, a commercial oven, an expensive mixer, or years of experience. You need consistency, and this guide gives you the systems to build it.

Kind words from Julia

Hi Jill. My partner got me your book for Xmas and I just finished it and am about to go back through and take notes and do the writing prompts. Just wanted to thank you for sharing your experience and putting such a lovely book together! I'm in CT and started gardening last year. Keen to get a better handle on it and your book has already been immensely helpful! Just wanted to share my thanks and appreciate. Cheers!
