A Tremendous Grand Opening at The Bread Barn™

When we opened The Bread Barn™ in Franklin Township, Indianapolis on June 28, we could never have imagined the response.

In just three hours, more than 150 pounds of artisan sourdough bread, cinnamon rolls, and farmhouse cookies were sold — every loaf, cookie, and roll spoken for.

Guests traveled from across Indiana and even from California to visit. Word spread quickly, with coverage from local food bloggers, Indianapolis journalists, and a press release featured by 40+ publishers reaching nearly 2 million readers.

Our Facebook community grew from 0 to 700 followers in one week, with over 50,000 views on our Market Day launch. The feedback has been kind, generous, and deeply affirming.

Thanks to your incredible support, we’re already expanding:
🥖 Pre-orders are now live — and yes, 95% of you are ordering our cinnamon rolls!
🌾 Gluten-free options are both available now as well more are in development (you asked, we listened).
🤝 Market Days are growing into a cherished community tradition.

At The Bread Barn™, it’s never just about bread. It’s about sharing life, stories, and faith around the table. Thank you for being part of our journey.

Since that first day, Sheila and The Bread Barn™ have been featured in multiple publications and blogs, celebrating our story and the community support behind it. We’ve been highlighted by Indianapolis Monthly in their September “Best Restaurants” edition, written about by Mirror Indy [READ Mirror Indy article], and covered by The Coffman Review and Get Lost Indiana. Each feature has reminded us how special it is to be part of Franklin Township and the greater Indianapolis food scene.

My Letter To You...

Hi, I’m Sheila Healey — the hands behind the loaves at The Bread Barn™ in Franklin Township, Indianapolis.

For me, baking isn’t just about feeding people. It’s about slowing down, choosing better ingredients, and honoring the process. Every roll, loaf, and cookie that comes out of my farmhouse kitchen is handmade with care — the kind of care that’s hard to find in today’s fast-paced world.

We bake on the first and third Fridays of each month so that the stand is fully stocked and ready by Saturday at 8:00 AM. We remain open until sold out — sometimes through Sunday. Pre-orders are always labeled and waiting for you, while everything else is first come, first served.

Our baking schedule may shift with seasons and family rhythms, so we invite you to follow along on Facebook for menu previews, seasonal sourdough flavors, cinnamon roll specials, and confirmed Market Days.

It’s my joy to share this work with you — fresh artisan bread, farmhouse cookies, and community connection. I’m so glad you’re here.

✨ Your win: no sell-outs and zero hassle. ✨ Our win: less waste and better planning. ✨ Everyone’s win: more fresh food for more families.

Pre-ordering is the best way to guarantee you’ll get exactly what you want—without worrying about us selling out. Your items are freshly baked, bagged, and labeled with your name for simple grab-and-go convenience.

It also helps The Healey Farm™ plan more efficiently, meaning less food waste and more of our small-batch goodness going right to families like yours instead of leftovers. Pre-orders keep shelves stocked, reduce surplus, and ensure your favorites are waiting when you arrive.

💡 In short: You save time, we reduce waste, and everyone wins!

Indiana Shipping brings Bread Barn™ favorites to your doorstep—no matter where you live in the state! When you choose Indiana Shipping, we’ll re-route you to our Etsy Shop, where The Healey Farm fulfills your order.

Orders can be placed any time, but shipping only happens on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday to ensure peak freshness. Everything is sent with USPS Priority Mail, which usually arrives in 1–2 days across Indiana (occasionally 3 days in remote areas).

📦 No shipping Thursday–Sunday — this way, your bread arrives fresh at your home, not sitting in a weekend mailroom.

Next-Day (Weekend) Select is your weekend-only option to grab Bread Barn™ favorites fast. Place your order anytime during the week from our Select Menu and pick up Friday through Sunday. Every prepaid order is baked fresh, bagged, and ready for easy self-serve pickup at The Bread Barn™. Available weekends only — when the week ends, so does Select! Please note: at times the Select Menu may be paused. If it doesn’t open, it’s on hold — check back the following week.

For Next-Day Select and Indiana Shipping, all orders are prepaid online. On Market Day, items will be available with cash, check or mobile pay options include Venmo, Apple Pay, Cash App & Zelle. On Saturday's we are onsite until Noon, and do have the ability to accept credit card payments in-person with tap to pay. The rest of our hours of operation are self-service so you'll want to bring cash, check or a digital payment option to shop.

Always. Every loaf, mix, and cookie is crafted in small batches with farm-fresh ingredients and no shortcuts. That’s why our shelves are restocked each market day. While this means there are long nights of baking leading up to bake day there simply is just no other way! Our hearts are in delivering fresh, homemade, artisan-quality, honest-ingredient baked goods to our community - so we make it happen fresh every market weekend!

We’re a family-owned, small-batch bakery rooted in farmhouse tradition. Every loaf and mix is handcrafted with care, using recipes passed through our kitchen and perfected for our neighbors. What truly sets us apart is our heart for people — not profits. We’re here to serve our community, our friends, our neighbors, and our family with honesty, warmth, and quality. At The Bread Barn™, we believe the people behind the bread make all the difference.

We make checkout simple and flexible. Pre-orders can be paid online with card, Apple Pay, or digital wallets, while on-site we also accept cash, check, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle. Every option is designed to make supporting your local farmhouse bakery easy. • Zelle → hello@thehealeyfarm.com

On Market Saturdays from 8:00 AM to Noon, we offer Full-Service. Our family is on-site to assist with questions, help you explore the full menu, and process in-person payments (including credit cards). It’s the best time to experience the Bread Barn™ in person because we will get the great honor of meeting & visiting with you face-to-face.

From Saturday Noon to 8:00 PM and during all Sunday hours (currently 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, subject to seasonal changes), we shift to Self-Service. Your pre-ordered or same-day selections are bagged, labeled, and ready for grab-and-go pickup. Payments can be made easily through our digital apps (Zelle, Venmo, Apple Pay, Cash App), by check, or in our secure cash box.

Both options guarantee the same fresh, handcrafted products — the difference is whether we’re there to serve you directly or you help yourself in our honor-based system.

The easiest way to know we’re open is to look for our black-and-white flag flying proudly outside The Bread Barn™ — it only goes up during Market Weekends (usually the first and third Saturday & Sunday from 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM).

Because we’re located in a residential neighborhood, we keep outside signage minimal to respect our neighbors and City ordinances. You’ll see a welcome mat with our business name, and once you step inside, you’ll find a large indoor sign and shelves stocked with fresh baked goods.

Want to be sure before you head over? Stay connected with us on Facebook: The Bread Barn at The Healey Farm or visit us online at TheHealeyFarm.com for updates.

Please park along the grass on the south fence line of the property, where we have room for about 8 vehicles. This keeps our double-wide driveway clear so customers can maneuver in and out easily.

On a normal bake day, we rarely see more cars than that section can hold, and you’ll find “Park Here” signs posted to help guide you.

For the sake of our property and presentation, we ask that guests do not park in the front yard.
