From Sous Chef to Sourdough with Jessica Farrell : The Story of The Bread Shed

Jess didn’t plan to become Norfolk County’s most talked about baker...it just kind of happened.

From her days as a sous chef at The Combine to waking up at 4 AM to bake bread, Jess shares how The Bread Shed became a small-town phenomenon built on passion, persistence, and connection.

In this episode, Drew and Jess dive into the messy, magical journey of chasing creativity through flour, family, and the unknowns of entrepreneurship - one loaf at a time.

🎧 Topics We Cover:

• How a sous-chef job at The Combine changed everything

• Baking through burnout — and finding peace in the process

• What it’s really like to start a business from home

• The moment she “manifested” The Bread Shed

• Balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship

• Why community feedback matters more than perfection

• Lessons learned from 4 AM mornings and hundreds of loaves
