A reminder about custom baked goods orders: I am currently accepting orders for items such as bread and cookies. The regular deadline for orders is Wednesday of each week, with baking taking place on Thursdays and Fridays. This week, I have adjusted my schedule, and baking will occur on Tuesday with pickup available on Wednesday in Polo. I will be out of the office Thursday and Friday for family medical reasons. To ensure availability, please send a direct message to reserve a spot on the order list, which has limited capacity.

This Saturday's Bread Bonanza! Come one, come all to the Polo Farmers Market. My Rye bread was so good, it sold before it cooled down!
I take orders, but don't snooze, Wednesdays are the cutoff days. Order your favorite bread and I'll have it ready by next Saturday.
I've got a slew of savory and sweet treats cooking up, thanks to Aggy, my trusty poolish sidekick, who's proving all my crazy ideas are genius.

I will be at the Farmers Market Saturday June 13th.
I will take pre-orders for this specialty bread!
There will be only 4 at the market, and when they are gone, they're gone! No reserve on these. I will be there from 8 - noon....
But, pre-orders will be tucked away and waiting for you!
🏴‍☠️ Jalapeño Harbor Loaf $10
Sharp Cheddar • Jalapeños • Molasses Brown Bread
A savory hearth-baked loaf with a touch of sweetness and a warm pepper finish.

"Straight from the galley of Aggy the Poolish Pirate!"
This loaf sailed into harbor carrying sharp cheddar, fiery jalapeños, and rich brown bread goodness. Every batch is slow-crafted for flavor worth plundering.🏴‍☠️

Come check out my other goodies, as well as soothing balms, loose tea packets, Pine Legacy Jelly and more! ❤️💕
All hand crafted, no fillers and a lot of special care go into our product lines, with a story to tell! 🐓

Hello, friends!

I'm Karen, the heart behind Breathe Easy Homestead.

Like many of you, I find joy in simple things—fresh bread from the oven, a garden full of growing things, preserving the harvest, and gathering around the table with family. After years of dreaming, learning, and building, I've created a homestead business centered around old-fashioned skills, handcrafted foods, and the memories they create.

If you've been following my bread adventures, you've probably heard whispers about my trusty sidekick...

Meet Captain Aggy, the Poolish Pirate. 🏴‍☠️🍞

Aggy is the lively poolish starter behind many of my breads. She bubbles, ferments, and occasionally keeps me guessing. With a raised eyebrow and a mischievous smirk, she's become the unofficial captain of my bread kitchen and the guardian of every loaf that leaves my oven.

When you see Captain Aggy on a bread label, you'll know that loaf was crafted with patience, tradition, and a little pirate mischief.

From hearth breads and sweet treats to teas, balms, and homestead goods, my goal is simple: to create products that remind people of home, family, and the comfort of simpler days.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

Fair winds, full pantries, and happy baking,

❤️ Karen
