“Hi, I’m Melissa, the heart behind Rooted and Rising Porch Bakery. What started as a love for sourdough has grown into a small porch bakery serving fresh, homemade breads and sweet treats to our local community. I bake everything in small batches using simple ingredients—from crusty sourdough loaves and soft cinnamon rolls to cookies, muffins, and seasonal favorites. Each item is made with intention, care, and a love for bringing people together around good food.”
