Thomson’s Bakery is Open… And So Is the Fight

It’s official—Thomson’s Bakery is finally open for orders! You can now grab a loaf of our hand-crafted sourdough, made with time, patience, and purpose. But this is more than just bread. It’s more than crusty edges and airy crumb. It’s a family legacy. It’s part of my mission—and part of how I plan to fund my next chapter: law school while also spending my time with my daughter (who dreams of being a chef one day) and husband who is amazing in the kitchen.

For those who don’t know, baking bread wasn’t part of my “big life plan.” But neither was witnessing firsthand the horrors of child trafficking or seeing how systems meant to protect kids often fail them. For the last four years, life pressed pause. I found myself in a season of waiting—waiting for direction, waiting for justice, waiting for the next right step.

Baking taught me that waiting isn’t wasted.

Good bread takes time. You can’t rush fermentation. You can’t skip the stretches and folds. You can’t cheat the rise. I’ve learned that while dough rests, it strengthens. While it waits, it transforms. And I’ve realized—the same is true in life.

During this season of quiet of the last 4 years or so, I’ve rediscovered my love of baking and regained my voice. I have learned from my grandfather’s recipes, recalled fond memories of baking in the kitchen with both sides of my grandparents, and launched a podcast called Fermenting: God’s Not Done With Me Yet. It’s on that podcast where I share the metaphor-filled intersection of faith, life, and a baking. Every episode reminds me: whether life feels over-proofed, underdone, or like it’s barely rising, God is still working. I have interviewed a clown to shark tank inventors (episode coming soon)! I have even interviewed my own mom on this podcast. Each episode is filled with giving perspectives and lessons and I share that all with you through auditable content. It’s a good line up of content. You should check it out.

Back to bread, I’m not just kneading dough for the fun of it (though I do love it). Every loaf we bake is helping fund my legal education—a degree I will use to continue fighting for the voiceless, to expose the darkness I saw years ago, and to speak out for the children silenced by broken systems and the adults who failed them.

Baking bread is how I intend to fight back—one loaf at a time.

I will never stop speaking up for the kids I saw trafficked. I will never stop calling out the corruption and cover-ups I witnessed. I will never be done fighting for justice, even if I have to raise the funds one sourdough loaf at a time.

So if you love good bread—and believe in good causes—grab a loaf. You will see me at a farmers market soon. You’re not just buying bread. You’re investing in change. You’re helping fund advocacy, amplify truth, and fuel a mission that stretches beyond the kitchen.

The oven is preheated. The fight is far from over in fact the oven is just getting warmed up. Thomsons Bakery is open for business. I am excited, refreshed, covered in flour, but ready to go!
