This weekend, we came three loaves short of selling out at both of our markets — and honestly? We're still pinching ourselves.
To say we are overwhelmed by the love and support from our community would be an understatement. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Every loaf you picked up, every kind word you offered, every patient smile while we fumbled through a new POS system and ran our markets solo — it means the absolute world to us. You showed up for us, and we will never take that for granted.
We are a small, scrappy operation still finding our footing, and your grace and patience as we navigate these growing pains is something we don't take lightly. Thank you for believing in us even when things aren't perfectly polished.

📍 3 Markets This Weekend
We're spreading out this weekend with three market locations! Come find us:
- Depot Street Market – Greeneville — Tess will be there!
- Jonesborough Market — Mike's got you covered.
- Kingsport Market — Lexie will be holding it down.
We're still getting the hang of operating markets solo and without our full system in place, so we ask again for your patience and kindness as we grow. We promise we're working hard to make every market experience better than the last.
🌱 Homestead Happenings
Life on the homestead is blooming right along with the business! Here's what's been happening:
- 🌶️ Jalapeños are in the ground!
- 🍓 We harvested our first few strawberries — a moment we've been waiting for.
- 🫐 All our berry bushes are in the ground and settling in nicely.
- 🌿 Our wild blackberries are blooming — fingers crossed for a big harvest!
- 🥦 Cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower are coming in beautifully.
And of course — the pigs. Vampire, Snoop Hog, and Samuel are doing absolutely great and growing like crazy. They're still a little too small for their permanent pasture, but we're hoping to get them moved in within the next month. They are full of personality and we love them dearly. 🐷
🥚 Fresh Eggs — And They're Going Fast!
Our chickens are at peak production right now and we have plenty of eggs to show for it! Our hens are free range and fed a non-GMO, corn-free, soy-free diet — so you can feel really good about what you're getting.
We're selling fresh eggs at $6/dozen, and we sell out quickly. If you'd like to reserve a dozen (or a few!), reach out to us directly to get on the list. We'd love to get some to you!
Thank You, Always
None of this — the markets, the stores, the homestead, the bread — happens without this community. We are so grateful for every single one of you. Keep being patient with us, keep showing up, and we promise to keep pouring everything we have into every loaf.
With love and sourdough,
The Appalachian Sourdough Co. Team
