FARMINGTON – Owners of The Homestead bakery and restaurant on Broadway will eliminate weekday breakfast hours after 27 years, to concentrate on their lunch, dinner and weekend brunches beginning Monday, Sept. 3.

Dotty and Allen Danforth of Farmington also plan to close The Homestead on Mondays.

“Allen and I are getting older,” Dottie Danforth said Wednesday. “We need to cut back a little bit. We are both at retirement age and our children have other things to do.”

The building, business and the works are for sale, she said. The asking price is $650,000.

Allen Danforth worked at International Paper in Jay for 19 years before he left to help at the growing bakery and restaurant.

The restaurant’s new hours start in September when it will be opening at 11 a.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. on weekends.

“While weekday breakfast will no longer be served the famous Saturday and Sunday brunch will be continued and expanded,” Danforth said.
