Sanctuary Ridge Farm

08/30/2026

You know me as a Tulip Farmer but at heart I’ve always been a baker. My uncle taught his daughter and I how to make sourdough when I was 12-that was 40 years ago! We made our bread and walked through neighborhoods selling it door to door! Then when I was 16 I started working at a local sourdough bakery only to learn that the owner had bought our bread and been inspired to start her bakery which is still a very successful business! I worked there for a few years and learned a lot. Then my parents bought a restaurant and we started making the bread for their sourdough sandwiches (which were divine) and I continued making bread to sell at their restaurant. Over the years I’ve continued to sell bread on occasion but I’m getting serious about it now that I have an official farm kitchen separate from our home kitchen. I do hope to see you at some of the local markets in Cleveland, Ooltewah and Hixson! Have YOU tried any of my bakery items yet?

I’m excited to offer our very own Sanctuary Ridge Farm tulip bulb mix for tulip lovers to plant in their own landscaping or flower pots this November! I will have a limited quantity of these available in packs of one dozen for 15 dollars at upcoming markets. If you want to secure yours before they are available at the farmers market, send me a message and I’ll put you on the order list. I have some tips to make it so easy to grow your own at home! Who’s ready for tulip season?

Working on some of the products for the upcoming Farmers Market at Bradley Square Mall Sept 3 and Cambridge Square Market Sept 12 while waiting on bread to rise today! Elderberry syrup, Farm Biscuit Mix, Ale Cheddar Bread Mix and my must-have Plaintain Salve (I never leave home without it!).

This is hands down the easiest bread to make! Ale Cheddar bread can be made with 12 oz can ginger ale or beer. All you have to do is combine our custom mix with the 12 oz can, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and mix together until blended. Pour it into a large loaf pan, pour 1/4 cup melted butter over the batter in the pan and bake at 375 for 1 hour. Easy cheesy Peasy! This mix will be available at the farmers market in September 😊

Fun little farm update after a few weeks of mission trips and projects around the farm: starting Sept 3rd I’ll be participating in a Farmer’s Market INSIDE Bradley Square Mall on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month from 4-7. We’ve been working all summer to get our commercial kitchen up and running- it’s ALMOST finished! In addition to the Farmers Market, you may see us at other markets in the Ooltewah and Hixson area this Fall. But I’m most excited to invite you to our kitchen for some fun Baking classes this Fall. Stay tuned for upcoming class dates and times! Please share and help me spread the word about this brand new farmers market in Cleveland! Can’t wait to see y’all soon!

I had to share this one cause it’s just so
Cool! Have you ever seen anything like it?! These cabinets are 12 feet tall and the counter is fully accessible when opened but completely hidden when closed. It doesn’t get more custom than this!

Beautiful work by my other half!
