A Proven Bakehouse at a Rare Crossroads.

For nearly twenty years the Bakehouse has been more than a bakery —Tucked just south of Lansing Michigan and a short drive from Michigan State University, the Bakehouse began as a small artisan operation next to our home with a simple mission: to create honest, wood‑fired bread that tasted like something from another time.

Year after year, the Bakehouse grew — not through advertising (we do not use social media) but through the kind of loyalty that only comes from products people truly love. Sales have continued to increase since the day we started baking.

But after nearly two decades of building something beloved, the owner is ready for a new chapter — and the freedom that comes with passing the peel!

Inside the Bakehouse, is an 18,000‑lb wood‑fired oven.  Over time, our offerings expanded beyond European breads to include sweet and savory creations that deepened our connection to the community and broadened our reach. And still, there is room to grow: crackers, granola, and other shelf‑stable lines are ready for development along with additional farmers markets in nearby communities.

The business now stands at a rare and exciting crossroads. All operational indicators point toward a thriving retail storefront — a natural next step that would multiply revenue and open the door to a coffeehouse, bodega or farmer collective concept the community is already primed to embrace. The staff is trained and committed to new ownership and additional opportunities.

Two Paths for the Future

Option 1: Continue the Legacy Acquire the operational business and goodwill of the bakery name — the contracts, accounts, recipes, methods, equipment, vehicles, and the deep well of knowledge that has shaped the Bakehouse into what it is today. The owner will personally support the transition in either option, ensuring continuity and success as the business moves into its next phase, including a retail location.  Asking price: $350,000

Option 2: Own the Story, the Land, and the Craft For those who dream bigger, the Bakehouse itself sits on a beautiful 2.5‑acre property alongside a circa‑1880 home, a carriage house, and a small gentleman’s barn. The land is ideal for small‑scale farming or gardening, offering yet another avenue for product diversification — or simply a peaceful, historic place to call home. The property will be professionally appraised at the time of sale.
