Welcoming Shortline Bakery to Freeville

On November 1, 2025, the heart of Freeville got a little warmer — and a whole lot more fragrant — as Shortline Bakery opened its doors for the very first time. The scent of fresh-baked bread drifted down the street, drawing in curious passersby and longtime neighbors alike. Inside, they were greeted not just by golden loaves and flaky pastries, but by the friendly smile of Mark Croft, owner, baker, and the hands behind every handmade treat.

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, there’s no better time to stop in for a cozy bite or a thoughtful gift. Whether you’re picking up a crusty sourdough for dinner, a box of cookies for a friend, or simply craving the comfort of something warm from the oven, Shortline Bakery is ready to welcome you.

Come say hello, support a local dream, and taste the beginning of something special in Freeville.
