Before I was baking bread, that looked like painting, drawing, sewing, and embroidery. When I became a mom, there was less time for those projects, but there were still little people to feed several times a day. Cooking and baking became a new place for my creativity to live.

Bread, especially, made me slow down. I love the feel of dough in my hands and the way patience changes what comes out of the oven. And I love sharing a good loaf with the people around me.

I named this bakery Daly House because I wanted it to be something my family could grow into. “House” speaks to what I hope you’ll feel here: welcome. My life has been changed by people who offered generous hospitality, and I want to extend that same warmth to others.

We live in a region full of beautiful fruit—apples, pears, plums, cherries, and so much more. Through seasonal bakes, I hope to celebrate what grows here and support the people who grow it.

Whether you pick up a loaf for your family or something sweet to share, I hope it brings a little joy to your day and a sense of abundance to your table.
