In honor of Mom and Pop Small Business Day, Sage Westerfield, our Memory Care Director, is celebrating Golden Crumb Bakery! Here's what she had to say: "Golden Crumb Bakery is an absolute gem. The muffins, cookies, bagels, and sourdough bread are all incredible—everything tastes fresh, wholesome, and made with so much care. You can truly tell the difference with the organic ingredients, freshly milled flour, homemade butter, and organic eggs. Dalanie makes everything out of her beautiful kitchen, and it shows in every bite. This is the kind of quality you just can’t find in stores anymore. 10/10 recommend, check out her page!"
