Carbo Load Baked Goods
Emily is a mother, a wife, and a small business owner. She lives on a farm, where she raises goats and sheep, with plans to add chickens soon. Alongside their loyal dog, Daisy, they are working toward creating a sustainable farm that will support their family for years to come.
Her journey into baking began with her children. She wanted to provide them with wholesome, simple-ingredient baked goods. She also wanted to create options for herself. As a Type 1 diabetic with fructose intolerance, she became more mindful of food labels and ingredients, which fueled her passion for baking. She started with basic yeast breads, which eventually led her to sourdough—now the foundation of all her baking. She specializes in a variety of sourdough creations, from traditional loaves to those with unique inclusions, as well as sweet breads, cookies, scones, crackers, desserts, and more.
Her family heritage is a rich blend of European roots on both sides. She says, “While I am Christian, I am also Jewish, and I’ve developed a deep interest in my Jewish heritage—especially since I didn’t grow up knowing much about it. Lately, I’ve been exploring traditional Jewish breads and experimenting with recipes, so stay tuned for some sourdough challah!"
Emily integrates our Kernza® into everything she bakes.
Storybook Honey
Father-daughter team Josh and Leah started their honey business with 2 beginner nukes. Their business has now grown to 24 hives at 4 locations where the bees are surrounded by native plants and forbs and away from chemical insecticides. Their goal is to help breed a bee that is resilient to climate change and so it will not need human intervention in our future. They are helping bring back wild bees again!
