Welcome to

I believe the best bread comes from using the freshest ingredients and mastering the art of fermentation. As a home-baker following Maryland Cottage Laws, I take pride in creating the perfect loaf of bread for each of my customers. From the initial mixing of the dough, to the final stages of baking, I put all my effort and skills into crafting the perfect bread. It brings me joy to know that my customers can taste the love and dedication in each slice of bread.



Our Beginnings
The Little Cottage Crumb was born out of my passion for baking and cooking delicious home-cooked meals. As a homemaker and horse stable owner, I know the importance of wholesome and nourishing food, and this philosophy is carried into everything I do at The Little Cottage Crumb. As an artisan bread bakery, we pride ourselves on creating bread the way it was meant to be made – with simple, quality ingredients and a good dose of love and care.

The Little Cottage Crumb was born out of my love for baking and the outdoors. As a horse stable owner and avid rider, I spend a lot of time outside and wanted to bring the same freshness and wholesome goodness to others. My passion for baking is evident in every loaf of bread, every pastry, and every sweet treat that I make. With The Little Cottage Crumb, you will be able to enjoy the taste of home-baked goods in the comfort of your own home!
