Erin Kirley, owner and baker at Kirley's Breads and Pastries in Southport, NC
[S10E6]Published on: 10 February 2021
Erin Kirley travelled the world thinking of farms and the environment before focusing in on baking, moving near her parents on the North Carolina coast and opening her bakery. Now she's building a rocking solo bakery serving Southport, Oak Island and as far afield as possible.
In this episode, Mark gets a virtual tour of Erin's bake space, before talking about the birth of her bakery, challenges with wholesale baking, and finding a product lineup that suits a community without a strong bread culture. It's a fun and lively talk!
