Andrews, North Carolina

Baked with patience, served with pride — come taste the difference.

Handcrafted breads, seasonal pastries, and a curated mercantile — all under one roof in the heart of the Nantahala foothills.

Rooted in community, shaped by craft.

Homespun Hobbies Bakery & Mercantile began with a simple conviction: that the best food comes from real ingredients, honest labor, and a deep respect for the people who eat it.

Located on Locust Street in Andrews, our bakery is more than a place to grab a loaf or a cup of coffee — it's a gathering space where neighbors become friends and every bite tells a story. Our bakers start before dawn, fermenting sourdoughs overnight, rolling pastries by hand, and sourcing local dairy and honey whenever the season allows.

The mercantile side of our shop carries a carefully selected collection of pantry staples, small-batch preserves, and artisan goods from makers across the Appalachian region. Every item on our shelves has been tasted, tested, and approved by our team.

Goods worth bringing home

Every shelf in our mercantile is stocked with intention — no filler, no mass-produced shortcuts.

We partner with small producers throughout Western North Carolina and the broader Appalachian region. When you buy from our shelves, you're supporting families who grow, harvest, and craft by hand.

  • Raw honey from local apiaries
  • Small-batch preserves and jams
  • Artisan cheeses and charcuterie
  • House-made pasta and baked goods for take-home
  • Kitchen tools and linen goods
  • Seasonal gift boxes and baskets
