When friends Lanne Stauffer and Jill Lightner first set up small, curbside boxes in front of their Seattle houses to share homemade treats, they sparked a nationwide movement of neighbors feeding neighbors. Now Little Free Bakeries are popping up all over the country, offering a creative, heartwarming, sustainable approach to building community, one neighborhood and one cookie at a time.

The Little Free Bakery Book is the first of its kind, featuring 60 shareable, delicious recipes--from Crackle-Top Brown Sugar Bars and Chewy Lemon Cookies to Furikake Snack Mix and Cheesy Green Chili Corn Muffins. This collection of baker-tested, community-approved, and beginner-friendly recipes include biscuits, scones, cakes, and variations for vegan and gluten-free options.

Beyond the kitchen, Stauffer and Lightner share the practical nuts-and-bolts of building, maintaining, and permitting your own bakery box, alongside stories from Little Free Bakeries across the country. The Little Free Bakery Book offers more than just tasty recipes; it delivers a tangible sense of hope, urging us to slow down and create sweetness together.
