Meet Fixing a Feast

If you’ve strolled the stalls of the Melissa Farmers Market, there’s a good chance you’ve followed the irresistible scent of real sourdough straight to Fixing a Feast. Marion, the passionate baker behind the counter, brings hand-shaped loaves and tradition-packed bagels to hungry locals—all rising from faith, heritage, and flour-dusted dedication.

Faith, Flour, & Family: Marion’s Baking Journey

Fixing a Feast is more than a bakery—it’s a love letter to community and slow-crafted food. Marion nurtures her doughs with time-honored techniques, using natural fermentation and wholesome ingredients to yield rich flavor and that perfect sourdough crust. Her inspiration? A household where bread meant connection, food preservation was an act of service, and each bake was made with faith and care.

“Bread isn’t just a staple—it’s the centerpiece of a meal, a reason for neighbors to gather, and a memory to savor,” Marion says. “Sharing old-fashioned bakes is my way of fixing a feast for you and yours.”
