| The Smell of Freshly Baked Bread and Cakes will greet you! |
| YesterYears When I think of one of my most wonderful childhood memories, it's mom's bread making. The process itself was enchanting but my mom was a wonderful story teller so she brought it to life with tales of her family - when winters were hard and food was scarce. The depression days of 1930's were as real to her as yesterday. I learned to value simplicity and the wonderful faith and creativity these folks relied on to keep their homes functional and the many mouths fed. Our shop decor and the hands on way we do things is a reflection of this history. |
| Mennonites? - Strange name, strange dress. Ah, maybe Amish? Yes, you may ask! We (the owners and some employees) are Mennonites. There are 20+ Mennonite families living around Thomasville & Meigs. Our Church, located on Big Creek Rd., close to Meigs, is open to anyone. We love the Lord, and are thankful for God's plan of Salvation through Jesus Christ and want to live a godly life here on earth. Life is so short- let us all serve Him every day He gives us. Are We different from the Amish? In some ways. Amish do not use the modern conveniences we are so used to like electric, cars, computers, and air travel. Many Amish have moved into the Mennonites because of similar doctrinal beliefs. For me personally, my Maternal Grandparents were Mennonites and my Paternal Grandparents were Amish, so I have a lot of respect for the Amish. Many Amish are very fine, God fearing folks, but some who aren't have tainted the name. |
| Bread wagon This name dates back to the 1800's, when baked goods were delivered through cities much like the well known milk delivery wagons. Our baked goods are intended to be used in 5 days or frozen. We add no artificial preservatives. Refrigeration can help prevent molding on breads but will tend to dry out most baked goods. Almost all baked goods are pretty happy frozen but as we all know, eaten fresh is best! |
