Frequently Asked Questions

The stand is located at 96 Dyer Bay Rd, in Steuben ME. Rather than having a storefront, there is a self serve stand located in the driveway that operates on the honor system. You can order ahead online (which we highly encourage) and your order will be available for pickup from the stand on the next bake day, or you can come by and see what items are available on a first come, first serve basis. The selection of first come, first serve items varies daily.

The stand is stocked with freshly baked goods every Tuesday and Saturday morning and is open on those days from 10am until dusk, or until it is empty (whichever comes first). The stand is also open on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays stocked with items from the most recent day's baking session at a discounted price but this is highly dependent on what is remaining for inventory - for the most up to date info on whether the stand is open on non-bake days, please see our Facebook page! If the stand is open on a Monday or Thursday it operates on a "take what you need, pay what you can" payment system.

If the stand is open on a Monday or Thursday it operates on a "take what you need, pay what you can" payment system on those days only and it is stocked with the leftover items from the most recent morning's bake. What that means will vary from person to person, and only you can decide that for yourself - I encourage people in need to come and get something to eat, but I also appreciate those who can/do contribute financially in any amount as that helps keep the cycle turning (as much as I am honored to be able to help those in need, these items did also cost money in ingredients/electricity to produce as well as time and effort).

My only request is that customers are considerate that there may also be others in need, and please don't wipe the stand out of everything all at once - and to please pay this kindness forward someday however you are able to.

PLEASE NOTE - on other days (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays) marked prices apply to all items in the stand. "Take what you need, pay what you can" only applies on Mondays and Thursdays.

No - I do stock the stand with a limited variety of items on each bake day that are available on a first come, first serve basis, but it is highly recommended that you order ahead if you would like something specific, or if you would like a certain quantity of an item. The variety of extra items that are available is different from day to day, and sometimes quantities are quite limited.

The short answer - maybe, send a message or email to ask.

The long answer - while I try my best to accommodate requests to have orders ready before 10am, there are reasons why 10am is the usual earliest pickup time. I bake everything the morning of pickup, and I operate from a  home kitchen with only residential appliances. I have a lot to bake each morning and only so much time to do it - and some things have to be baked in a certain order (i.e., all of the bread has to bake first because it takes the longest to cool). So, send me a message/email and let me know what you'd like to order and what pickup time you would prefer - and I will let you know if it is possible.

I offer gluten-friendly cookies! Our kitchen is not gluten-free certified, but I can substitute the regular flour with a certified gluten-free flour. However, it is possible that GF items may come into contact with trace amounts of gluten during production.

I currently do not  offer sourdough or other baked goods as gluten-friendly.
