Hilde and Charlie Muller of Laughing Tree Bakery near Hart, Michigan

[EP187]
Published on: 26 April 2023

Charlie and Hilde Muller were bakers before they moved to the middle of the forest in western Michigan and began carving a home, a bakery and a life from the woods.  Laughing Tree Bakery has been going strong for the past 14 years, feeding the people via the Muskegon Farmers Market and several stores and cafes in the region.

In this episode, Mark, Hilde and Charlie swap stories about their shared baking ancestor, Alan Scott, discuss the early days of Laughing Tree and dig into why the Mullers may have a leap or two left in their baking journey.  It's a fun, wide ranging talk that lingers on a core question of life:  why (and how) do we choose our path?
