Bakery Woods is a Potted-only Market and Auction House.
Here, the warmth of a bakery blends with an enchanted landscape, characterized by a lush vegetation that grows on soft sand made of trifle. A surreal, colorful, and welcoming environment turns every visit into an immersive experience of sweetness.

What you’ll find at Bakery Woods:

Well-decorated shops and stalls, where tenants showcase their Potted items for sale.

Live auctions three times a week (Monday, Tuesday, and Friday), dedicated to buying and selling Potted items.

A waiting list you can join with no commitment, to be notified when a spot becomes available for a shop or a stall. 

Good vibes, because here the buying and selling experience is magical. Every detail contributes to creating a little world outside the ordinary, where everyone feels welcome and at ease.

Bakery Woods came to life in April 2024, about a year after the discovery of Potted by two real-life friends, NymphaeaMK and MrZ3, respectively Market Owner and Market Manager. What began as simple curiosity quickly grew into a shared passion for a game created with care and supported by an enthusiastic community.

THE BEGINNING
Their journey started in the Summer of 2023, when they began attending the daily auctions to better understand the mechanics of Potted. By September, they had acquired their first plants, and only a month later, NymphaeaMK had already chosen to support the project on Patreon. With time, their interest deepened, and so did the idea of contributing something meaningful back to the community.

From the very beginning, the thought of opening a market was there — but rather than rushing, they decided to wait until the right moment, when knowledge and experience were solid enough to build something lasting. That moment arrived after months of preparation and design work. 

 A REAL PROJECT
Drawing on real-life skills, the project found its identity. With a background in design, NymphaeaMK (real-life web designer and marketer) created a warm and welcoming environment where visitors feel at home. She chose a bakery-themed setting, filled with cakes, pastries, soft lights, and pastel tones — because few things feel as comforting as the sight of delicious treats.

Alongside her, MrZ3 brought his 3D modeling expertise and multimedia artistry, helping turn the concept into reality. Thanks to this combination, Bakery Woods became a unique place, not only for its design, but also for the atmosphere it created.

BAKERY WOODS IDENTITY
Since the start, Bakery Woods developed a strong identity. It was the first market to promote tenants’ deals through public groups, and the first to encourage stallholders to regularly refresh their shops with new products.

Auctions are another distinctive feature of Bakery Woods. With no permanent auctioneers available, as the market owner, NymphaeaMK understood that taking on the role of auctioneer was essential to ensure that Bakery Woods could grow into a stable and reliable market. Despite the challenge of learning a completely new role — and doing so with an Italian accent — she made the best of it by developing her own calling style. Today, she combines her deep knowledge of products with information on rarity and market value, explaining in detail why certain products could be considered good deals. Finally, when leading auctions, she enjoys interacting with people, making them feel part of the event. 

The community’s patience and encouragement played a key role in her journey to become an auctioneer. Over time, NymphaeaMK became known not only for her knowledge of Potted items, but also for her “colorful” personality.

TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
In April 2025, to celebrate the first anniversary of Bakery Woods, a special gesture was made: a Polar Bear adoption funded from the year’s auction tips. The symbolic adoption honored the donation made in the name of Bakery Woods patrons – through Fahlo – to the non-profit organization “Polar Bears International”. No fundraising was requested, it was a way to give something back to all the supporters.  

GROWING
Sarahlin.Constantine was appointed as a Market Manager in the Summer of 2025. Her contribution quickly proved invaluable. Both NymphaeaMK and MrZ3 strongly wanted her in the team for her reliability, honesty, and generosity. Always mindful of the market’s well-being, Sarahlin.Constantine not only helps manage the sim and support the tenants, but also brings extra joy to Bakery Woods by organizing small giveaways at random moments through the fishbowl.

By September 2025, the project had grown enough to announce the creation of the Bakery Woods website, launched just one month later, marking another step in sharing its journey with the wider community.
