A few months back, a man pulled up to The Farmer’s Daughter Market in Tecumseh after it had closed and found owner Linda Praytor sitting on the porch, talking with a friend.

“I forgot my wife won’t be home tonight, Linda,” the man said. “I don’t have anything to eat!” Praytor sent him inside, and he soon returned with a bake-at-home pot pie.

Over the course of a few months, I researched and wrote a long-form feature on the scant—but attractive—artisanal bread movement in Oklahoma.

Did you know that they make tiny slow cookers?
