The short story
About Marigold Bakehouse
Nora started Marigold Bakehouse out of a home oven and a stubborn sourdough starter named after her grandmother. The first loaves went to neighbors, mostly to get honest opinions.
The opinions were good. Saturday batches started selling out before noon, so she built a little pickup rhythm around them: bake Friday night, hand it over Saturday morning, do it again the next week.
She still keeps it small on purpose. Slow ferments, a short menu, and enough loaves to do it right without cutting corners.
“Good bread takes time. That is the whole secret.”
