Itâs always hard to make hard decisions - but nearly 6 years in, Iâve learned the hardest decisions often have the best outcome. I love this community and I love what weâre building - something thatâs rooted in craft, care and being together. Weâll figure this all out from the operations side, and in the meantime, you know where to find us 7 days a week!! #smallstateprovisions #bakerylife #pizza #sourdough
We have recently partnered with Ilse Coffee based in Cannan, CT to bring you a washed field blend with hints of apple butter and peach along with a nougaty sweetness from Juan Rodriguez Canoâs farm in El Volcancito, Guatemala đ
Thoughtfully sourced, top notch roasted and absolutely delicious âď¸ @ilsecoffee
The only reason I own a bakery is so I can unabashedly eat pastries that this incredible team makesâŚ
𼼠Chocolate and coconut is already an irrisistable combination. And just when you think it couldnât get any better, make it a filling for one of our beloved croissants with a buttery flaky pastry that just falls apart in all the best ways with eat bite.
Limited availability on certain days at both locations!

Did you know that we make burger buns?

Itâs truly magical when all the pieces come together to form the prized honeycomb interior. Our pastry team works tirelessly to control all the factors such as temperature, fermentation, and lamination.
What creates the structure you ask? Layer upon layer of butter between very very thin dough laybers - when the croissant hits the heat of the oven, the water in the butter evaporates causing steam which helps the croissant expand and rise đ§đĽ
We may be biased, but we think ours are kinda the best. Our croissants are made with 100% organic flour, organic sugar, vermont butter, and laminated with French butter for that unrivaled depth of flavor.

The rumors are true, folks - doughnuts will be part of the new Small State expansion in Avon - but, as with everything we do, unique to our point of view. It wonât be long until Small State Gather officially comes to life and we canât wait to share it with you. #smallstateprovisions #bakery #doughnuts #bakersgonnabake

Here at Small State we care about giving you the best products using only the best ingredients. So why shouldnât your Small State merch also be? Carry your 100% naturally leavened organic sourdough in style with our produce bags from @ecobags_us made from certified organic cotton.
FYI - it makes a great gift for Motherâs Day đ

GastroPark will always have a special place in my heart for a number of reasons. Not only was it the first location that we opened back in 2021, the community and atmosphere is so electric.
It has a different vibe than Avon in the sense that people can sit there for hours on end, just enjoying a nice matcha from @la_pausa_coffee , a sandwich and a sweet treat from Small State, or a taco or two from @fuegopicantefoodtruck .
đItâs a smaller location, yes, but the community and heart that we have there is immense and we are so grateful @thegastropark

Our banana bread has been on the menu for YEARS now and, I still love it as much today as I did when I first put it out đ
Nutmeg forward (we are the NUTMEG STATE afterall!) and made with a blend of organic whole wheat flour and organic stone ground rye flour (the latter from @groundupgrain and locally milled!) - it gets topped with crunchy organic sugar in the raw for the little âpop!â Kids and adults love this staple and it has no plans of going anywhere.

Itâs alive!! No, seriously, it is :)
This is our sourdough starter: a living culture of wild yeasts and naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria. When we say our bread is ânaturally leavenedâ, this is what we mean: no commercial yeast. Just flour, water, time, and a starter we feed and care for every day.
The wild yeast helps the dough rise, while the bacteria create that gentle tang, depth of flavor, and complexity that make sourdough taste like sourdough. When itâs bubbling like this, itâs active, hungry, and ready to become bread đŤ§đ
