💌 TO ORDER

Please send me a private message rather than placing your order in the comments, just so nothing gets lost 😉

WhatsApp (07 341 550 131) is the easiest and most reliable way to reach me, but you’re also very welcome to message me on Facebook or Instagram 😎

If you’ve messaged me on social media and haven’t heard back by the following day, please give me a little nudge on WhatsApp as occasionally messages disappear into the mysterious depths of social media (like bloody spam folders🧐).

🌿 THE HOMESTEAD FAIRY IS BAKING AGAIN! 🌿

Hello, lovely local people! 🧚‍♀️🍞

After a slightly longer break than I originally expected, my little countryside bakery is finally open for orders again!

Although I haven’t been baking for customers recently, I’ve been very busy behind the scenes. The Homestead Fairy now has a beautiful new professional bread oven, and I’m also preparing for my first-ever market! It feels like a huge and very exciting milestone for my little bakery 🥰 ✨

This week’s collection is available on:

🌾 Saturday 8th August
🌾 Sunday 9th August

Please place your order in advance as every loaf is naturally fermented and prepared slowly over several days.

THIS WEEK’S MENU

Nana’s Loaf — £3.50
My bestseller! Soft white sourdough, made with organic white flour, mature sourdough starter, butter, salt and a touch of sugar. Naturally fermented, with no commercial yeast.

Mama’s Loaf — £3.50
An everyday sourdough made with organic white flour, organic stoneground wholemeal flour, water, salt and the special starter I inherited from my mum. VEGAN-FRIENDLY!

The Daily Rye — £3.00
A rustic rye and wheat tin loaf, naturally fermented with my homemade rye starter, organic flours, salt and a touch of sugar. Lovely with cheese, smoked fish, soups or savoury toppings.

Organic Coconut Sourdough Muffins — £2.50 each
Soft, buttery coconut muffins made with sourdough discard, organic coconut flour, organic desiccated coconut, sugar, butter, milk and finished with a little chocolate chips. Baked fresh to order 🤤 🥥

This will be the final weekend to order at my current prices. My updated menu and prices will come into effect from 15th August, reflecting the rising cost of ingredients and production, as well as my continued investment in the quality and future of my bakery.

If you’ve found me through sourdough, veg gardens, lambs and farm life, this post might come as a surprise.

London, 15 July 2026. And no, it’s not about the football match between England and Argentina. It’s a Euro/UK tour of my Armenian brothers: System of a Down.

I took some time away from my farm life. I needed a mental and physical reset. One of the ways to do it was to go to this concert.

So what’s so special, you’d probably think.

I’ll explain…

I’m not even a proper crazy fan of SOAD. I don’t know all the lyrics, I don’t collect their merch, I don’t follow them, I don’t even know all their names.

But apart from enjoying their art, there’s a little thread connecting them to my world.

Standing there, a few metres away from them, actually seeing them alive on a stage in front of me — I felt something different. Because I’m not just a fan. I’m partly Armenian too. And I felt genuinely privileged to be standing there.

Many people don’t know that part of my family is Armenian. But an Armenian without solid roots in a home country.

Growing up, I never paid much attention to the history of my people.

Then I moved to the UK and met the Armenian community here (), and finally could relate to these old family stories: my ancestors being denied their own home, fleeing death, becoming refugees and immigrants, searching for somewhere to belong, starting over again and again.

It created a strong bridge between me and my heritage. Almost like I could talk to them. Like they were guiding me through everything they went through.

It might sound insane, but reconnecting to that part of my ancestors made me feel a kind of superpower. Almost like they speak to me. Like they guard me. I can feel all of them in my bloodstream.

Not just some random history. My own ancestors: forced to escape, forced to begin again, forced to search for somewhere safe to call home.

Looking back, I sometimes wonder if that’s why I’ve spent so much of my own life searching for that feeling too. I didn’t just inherit the longing for roots. I inherited “The Fire” too. The restlessness. The part that gets furious when something’s unfair, that needs somewhere to go, to release..

If I’m honest, home hasn’t come easy to me either. Not in the way people might assume from this page.

There’s a thread I can feel running from my ancestors to me. A completely different scale to what they went through, but a thread all the same. Not just the loss, but everything loss leaves behind in a person.

System of a Down have always spoken to something deep inside me. Not just because of the roots we share.

It’s because their music proves something I’ve needed proof of for a long time: that Chaos and Beauty can live in the same place. That Anger and Tenderness aren’t opposites you have to choose between. One song can be full-on heavy instrumental, then shift into something almost folky and light, in the same breath, and none of it feels like a contradiction. It feels Whole.

That’s what I’m trying to build here.

Not a homestead that’s only soft, naive, aesthetically pleasing. Not just sourdough and wildflowers pretending the fire, the roughness, the rawness isn’t there…

A home that holds both. The Peace and the Fire. The Roots and the Restlessness. Because that’s what was passed down to me, and pretending otherwise would mean building on a lie.

It’s about putting down roots. The kind that generations before me, on both my mum’s side and my dad’s, never quite got the chance to keep.

So if you’ve ever wondered why my fairy world sometimes has a touch of melancholy…

Now you know. She was never just soft. She was forged in fire before she learned how to grow flowers — and she decided to keep the fire.

Iliana, The Homestead Fairy 💛💙💜

Mama’s Loaf has officially joined the family!

This is a naturally leavened sourdough with its own unique character.

It’s made using organic flour, a touch of organic stoneground wholemeal flour, water, salt, and my sourdough starter (which I inherited from my mum 😁❤️).

Naturally suitable for vegans and vegetarians, it’s a simple everyday loaf. Delicious with butter, soups, sandwiches, cheese, eggs, or your favourite sweet toppings like jam or honey.

Baked fresh here in Wales, Mama’s Loaf has officially joined the family, and I’m so happy to finally share it with you! 🥖✨🌾
