Dear friends of Dairyland & Mid-Way Bakery

We know we haven’t said much publicly about closing our businesses at 3rd Street Market Hall. We have been spending our time getting ready to leave, finding jobs for our staff, re-homing equipment, and making delicious food for you.

We are proud of our time and growth over the last three and a half years at the market hall. But Dairyland didn’t start there, it started in our garage. Dairyland isn’t a place, it’s an idea and our mission.

Regarding the rumors of us moving to 76th and Lisbon. While we did look at the property seriously, this would’ve taken over a year to get ready. Without an operating business there is simply no way we could traverse that gap.

We are open the rest of tonight and all day tomorrow, or until we are out of food.

We would love to see you one last time, and if you think someone you know might not have heard the news please feel free to share.

When we find a new home, we’ll let you know where we’ve landed on our existing social media.

It has been our pleasure to serve you.
Katie, Joe, Kurt and the rest of the Dairyland and Mid-Way family. ❤️

Kurt and Katie's relationship, marked by humor and mutual respect, highlights Katie's expertise in pie crust, emphasizing the importance of cold ingredients. Their shared culinary philosophy stresses quality, from water to butter, influenced by chefs like Chris Bianco. Katie's journey, from serving to pastry chef, was shaped by Kurt's encouragement and her training at The French Pastry School. Their pecan pie, a blend of tradition and innovation, incorporates bourbon and chocolate chips, inspired by Emeril Lagasse, showcasing their approach to elevating classic desserts.
