History

Established in 2000.

When all three of my kids and myself were diagnosed with celiac disease we were disgusted with the food selection at the time. It tasted like cardboard or a mouthful of cornstarch YUCK!

I was determined to eat good food that tasted great! I taught myself how to bake gluten-​free by reading cookbooks cover to cover, watching youtube and by trial and error.

Eventually things started to work out. They tasted really good and wondered if there was a market for this kind of thing. I spent a summer going to farmer’s markets, gathering feedback and trying to improve my product.

Through a bucket load of handwork and determination — I opened a bricks and motor store at 268 Tache. With much fear and trepidation I wondered if my little business would survive the first year. It did!

On December 1, 2015 it will be our 3^rd anniversary.
