Our story

I have dedicated more than two decades of my life to perfecting the art of baking. Every creation from my bakery is a result of using the finest quality ingredients, with a strong preference for organic choices. You won't find corn, soy, vegetable, or synthetic oils in my recipes. Opting for grass-fed butter adds another layer of richness to my treats. Crafting my own bourbon vanilla extract is one of my secret weapons to infuse unparalleled flavor into all my baked goods.

Our ingredients

I use local US farmers to source all of the grains, fruit, and dairy that go into our breads and pastries. Our bread is humane—from the farmers who mill and harvest our grains, to myself who puts passion and care into each loaf I make.
