Homemade with Heart
Every loaf and every handmade gift begins right here in our home.
Bread & Buddies started as a simple way to share the things I love making. From fresh sourdough baked each week to crocheted gifts made stitch by stitch, everything is handcrafted with care for friends, neighbors, and families in our community.
Whether you’re picking up a loaf for dinner or finding the perfect handmade gift, I hope what you take home brings a little warmth, joy, and friendship into your day.

From Challenge Came Something Beautiful
Bread & Buddies began during an unexpected season of life. While facing health challenges, Tami found comfort in creating with her hands. Crocheting became a peaceful place to focus her heart and mind, while sourdough baking quickly became another creative outlet. Before long, those two passions came together.
Today every loaf of sourdough and every crocheted creation is still made by hand with care. Whether you’re taking home fresh bread for dinner or a handmade buddy for someone special, our hope is simple—to create something that brings comfort, joy, and a smile.
From our hands to your home, we hope every loaf and every handmade buddy brings a little comfort, joy, and delight.
