A Simple Story of Sourdough Baking Journey
Our founders, Brad and Michelle’s story is rooted in a lifelong passion for food. Both were raised in families where cooking was a daily joy, not just a necessity. Meals were a way to bring people together, and that spirit has guided them throughout their lives.
Carrying the Love of Food Everywhere
As their careers took them across the country—from the West Coast to the East Coast, and eventually to the South—they carried that love of food with them. Each move brought new culinary influences and a deeper appreciation for regional ingredients and techniques.
A Life Filled with Flavor
No matter where they landed, Brad and Michelle made their home the place where friends and family gathered. Their kitchen became a happy, well-fed hub of experimentation, laughter, and the irresistible smell of something baking.
- Cooking and baking became their way to unwind and connect with others.
- They entertained often—and rarely had a declined invitation.
- Friends constantly asked:
- “Can you teach me how to cook like this?”
- “How did you make that bread?”
A Dream 25 Years in the Making
In the fall of 2020, Brad and Michelle made their long-planned move to Florida’s Emerald Coast—a dream that began back in 1995 when they built their beach rental. As they settled into their new community, they quickly noticed something missing: a true, artisan bread bakery. What they found instead were mostly grocery store breads—over-processed, lacking flavor, and missing the soul that comes from a well-made loaf. They decided it was time to do something about it.
From Passion to Purpose
Over the past four years, Brad and Michelle poured themselves into the craft of baking.
- Studied sourdough and artisan techniques from books and videos.
- Perfected their process through hands-on practice and experimentation.
- Focused on naturally leavened, nutritious bread made with care and intention.
- Shared their creations with neighbors and friends—who kept coming back for more.
- Encouragement turned into a calling:
- “You need to start a bakery.”
- “Put me on your customer list!”
