📍 Farm Stand Location & Pickup Instructions

Our farm stand is located in Eastern Kentucky. When your pre-order is confirmed via email, you will receive our exact street address, parking guidance, and directions.

Pre-ordered bags will be labeled with your name on the pickup shelf. Walk-up purchases are welcome while daily supplies last!

Fresh Bakes, Direct From Our Hearth

At Scratch and Sweet Bakes, we believe that real bread takes time. Because our sourdoughs ferment across two full days, we run on a dedicated weekly baking schedule centered around Friday pickups.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what’s baking this week?

Every Tuesday morning around 9:00 AM, we send our Friday Bake Club email newsletter. It features high-resolution photos of that week’s rotating loaves, cookies, scones, and farm goods, along with the reservation form.

When is the pre-order cutoff?

Pre-orders close Wednesday at 8:00 PM. This gives our wild sourdough starter time to build, doughs to be autolysed and shaped, and loaves to undergo a 24- to 36-hour cold retard in our proofing refrigerators.

Can I just stop by without ordering in advance?

Yes! While pre-ordering guarantees your favorite loaf won’t sell out, we always bake a limited number of extra sourdough boules, sandwich breads, and cookies for walk-up visitors on Friday between 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

What forms of payment do you accept at the farm stand?

We accept Cash, Venmo, and credit/debit cards at the farm stand register. Pre-orders can also be completed electronically.
