The Bird Basket

The Bird Basket What started as a love for baking fresh breads, sweet treats, and tending a small garden has grown into our cottage bakery and farm stand.

Here you'll find handcrafted sourdough, made from scratch baked goods, farm stand favorites, and special orders.

The cakesicles and cake pops are out at the stand!
I had some extras to play with after the pageant, so I spent the afternoon creating a few fun designs instead of letting them go to waste.
They're simple, sweet, and ready to find a new home. You'll find them in the fridge, so be sure to take a peek when you stop by! 😊

Good morning neighbors! 🌞
The stand is out and stocked for the day! Sorry for the late post, I finally had a chance to spend a little time out in the garden this morning and lost track of time. 🌱😬
I have an overflow of fresh peppers so I put some out in the stand today! 🌶️
We also have plenty of baked goodies left thanks to yesterday's rain, so there's still a great selection waiting for you. And as usual, yesterday's cinnamon rolls have been marked down to $10 while they last!
I also have quite a few extra cakesicles and cake pops that I ran out of time to decorate for the pageant yesterday. Rather than let all that chocolate and my molds already made sit around and go to waste, I'm going to have some fun making an assortment of designs and colors with the leftovers. Should be an interesting mix 😅 They'll be heading out to the stand a little later today.
So whether you're stopping by for fresh peppers, sourdough, cinnamon rolls, or a surprise sweet treat, there's plenty to choose from today. I hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday on this beautiful day! 💛🐦🧺

We're back home!
The guys made it back from the Goose Hill Farm Monthly Artisan Market, and the stand is now out and fully stocked with everything that came back from the market!
If you weren't able to make it to Goose Hill this morning, here's another chance to grab some fresh sourdough, baked treats, and other goodies while they last.
We hope you have a wonderful Saturday!

Hey friends! 🌧
We're officially divided and conquering!
Ken and our son are all set up at the Goose Hill Farm Monthly Artisan Market with some fresh baked goodies! If you're in the area this morning, stop by and say hi!
My daughter and I are set up at the Southampton County Fair Pageant with sweet treats for all the contestants, families, and visitors!
No matter which event you visit today, we'd love to see you! Thank you all for supporting our little family business and helping make weekends like this possible. 💛🐦🧺

Hey friends! 👋
I was hoping to have the stand open tomorrow, too, but between getting ready for the Goose Hill Farm Monthly Artisan Market and the Southampton County Fair Pageant on Saturday, I don't think I'm going to be able to pull it off.
And to keep things interesting, Mandough decided to take his sweet time rising this week after a late bulk feed. Dramatic much 🙄😅 That means the sourdough will be ready Saturday instead of Friday.
So tomorrow will be spent finishing up all the baking for the market and getting all the treats for the pageant ready.
This weekend is going to be a true family effort. My husband and our son will be at Goose Hill Farm, while my daughter and I will be at the pageant. We're dividing and conquering, and we hope to see lots of familiar faces at both events!
Thank you all so much for your understanding and support. We hope to see y'all on Saturday! 💛🐦🧺

Good morning neighbors!
So... we're a little behind this morning. 😅
We're pulling in now and should be set up at Goose Hill Farm Market in just a few minutes!

The stand is out!
Thank you all for your patience today! I finally got everything out and ready for you.
I'll have some more goodies to add tomorrow, but for now I need to switch gears and spend the rest of the day working on a few orders. If I miss your messages about putting something aside, that's why. I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
If you're heading out today, please be careful in this heat and the smoky air. Stay hydrated, take it easy, and look out for one another. 💛
I hope everyone has a wonderful afternoon, and I can't wait to see everyone at the farm tomorrow!
