Kroger has bakeries within their stores where they bake bread they sell.

They do.

But the things from that bakery are made as the product of a soulless megacorp. The process may occur in-store, but it is prescribed from on-high, not invented or tweaked locally. And bread from the Kroger bakery costs more to buy than bread from this Amish bakery does.

So for those reasons, and some others that I could probably never properly articulate, having bread from the Kroger bakery in my kitchen does not enhance my joy. It instead diminishes it.

Personal preferences can be weird. In this instance, I prefer to actively avoid things from the Kroger bakery.
