Our Story
At Hillyndale Road Farm, we believe in the transformative power of dreams—the ones that propel us to evolve, grow, and embrace the wild and free spirit within. Our journey blends the timeless traditions of sourdough baking with the invigorating energy of homesteading, weaving together a tapestry of sustainability and passion.
Meet Michelle Jordan: I'm Michelle Jordan, and I'm thrilled to launch Hillyndale Road Farm. Nestled in Mansfield, Connecticut, my micro-farm and cottage bakery is more than a business—it's a labor of love. With my husband, kids, cats, and chickens by my side, I've created a life deeply rooted in nature's rhythms.
My journey into homesteading began with the birth of my first son. Faced with gluten and dairy sensitivities in my children, I embarked on a quest to understand the origins of our food and how it impacts our well-being. From humble beginnings in container gardens and repurposed baby bathtubs, my passion for growing my own food blossomed. With each harvest and each freshly baked loaf of bread, I found solace and connection to the earth—a grounding force in an increasingly fast-paced world.
As Spring has arrived, I eagerly anticipate sharing the fruits of my labor with the community. At local farmer's markets, pop-up locations, and pre-order curbside pickups, I will offer artisan bread, baked goods, heirloom seedlings, and eggs—all nurtured with care and sustainably sourced. From the organic ingredients in my recipes to the happy clucks of my organically fed chickens, every aspect of Hillyndale Road Farm reflects a commitment to quality and integrity. And as I dream of expanding to a permanent farm store with additional offerings and more land, I invite you to join me on this exciting journey.
