Boo’s Organic Bakery which based in a storefront in Downtown Joshua Tree, has announced on Thursday (July 27) that they will be closing their doors. The bakery said via social media that Sunday, July 30, would be their final day of business.
Boo’s Organic Bakery was opened by Marylee “Boo” McIntyre, who had been baking in the high desert since 2009. She first sold cakes and pies to local restaurants, before opening the storefront on Twentynine Palms Highway on July 4 2019.
McIntyre told Z107.7 that their lease on the Joshua Tree space is winding down, and that she needed to step back from the business to focus on her own health. The sudden timing of the bakery’s exit was a decision made by the landlord.
Though the baking equipment has already been sold a new tenant is being sought for the location, McIntyre says that, for now, devotees of her pastries and cakes will still find her baking in the high desert. Her pies will be served at Kitchen in the Desert in Twentynine Palms and the soon-to-open Snake Bite Roadhouse in Yucca Valley.
She may work with her son, who baked the loaves of bread sold at Boo’s, on a Farmers Market venture. And in the next few years, she hopes to leave the business of baking behind to travel with her husband.
