When you buy from a maker, you're buying more than just a unique product created with love, time and personal energy. You are also buying all the hours of testing, failures, trying again, weeks and months of frustrations and moments of pure joy! You are supporting a dream, and the local economy! A great place to support your local makers is at a craft event!

Vendor Spotlight! Come check out Love You Loaves at the State Farmers Market, 3483 Charleston Hwy, West Columbia this Saturday and Sunday! Her breads look scrumptious!!!

I have a home based micro bakery making sourdough bread using wholesome natural ingredients serving the Columbia SC area.

I live in Cayce and bake weekly where folks can preorder loaves from my ’This Week’s Bread’ menu and have a pick up location at Dialed Bicycle shop on State Street, Cayce.

My menu changes often as I like to use creative flavors in addition to regular or seeded sourdoughs.

I use organic flour as well as stone ground whole wheats, ancient, heirloom and ryes to show case the wonderful grains we grow here in the United States.

Sourdough is a naturally leavened bread with an overnight cold fermentation which develops flavor and touch of sourness.

Hello, I'm Heather, a single boy mom on a heartfelt journey towards wellness and embracing a natural lifestyle to improve the health of me and my boys. As a dedicated mother, I primarily aim to provide my boys with a healthy and nurturing environment. This passion for their well-being led me to embark on a transformative journey that has positively impacted our lives.
My journey began with a simple yet powerful realization - the products we use daily can significantly influence our health and overall well-being. This epiphany prompted me to take the path towards cleaner living. While I am not living this journey out perfectly, I am making smarter choices. I started by making mindful choices in our daily routines, and it all began with a switch to natural soap, skincare, and deodorant. This is a small yet significant step to improving the quality of our lives.

In my quest for a more natural lifestyle, I've discovered the beauty of clean and toxin-free products. I've been inspired by the positive changes I've seen in my family's well-being and want to share this knowledge with others who seek to make similar choices for themselves and their loved ones.

I aspire to offer a curated selection of natural and clean products through my business. It's my mission to empower individuals and families to make informed choices and embark on their journey toward
