I am a homesteader who created my own sourdough starter from scratch and began learning the art of sourdough baking almost 8 years ago, actively selling my bread at my local farmers markets.

About Jennifer
I am a homeschooling mom of 5 children, ranging in age from 19 years old down to 4 years old. I have been baking since I was a kid in the kitchen with my grandma. I have always had a love for baking and cooking and although I never thought this would be my profession growing up, I am so excited to be able to pass on my knowledge and skillset to others so that they too can fulfill their dreams- whether that means baking for their family, for profit and everything in between. Fun Fact: I had a very qualified chef working in Telluride, Colorado, purchase a cinnamon roll from me that I was selling at a market and he asked me if I had gone to school to be a pastry chef. That may have been one of the best compliments I’ve received on my baking.

My husband and I created our homestead from the ground up while also raising our 5 children.
We wanted to be able to live a sustainable life where we could also generate an income from our farm and make a livable income off of so we could avoid any outside employment.
8 years ago when we were finally ready to begin selling at our farmers markets, my sister in law suggested that I learn sourdough bread baking and offer that on my table at our farmers markets in addition to what we were already doing.
I went on the quest to learn this skill and I won’t hesitate to say that it was a big learning curve for me to figure out. I spent countless hours trying to learn what terms meant without a mentor to guide me. If it wasn’t for my persevering personality, taking this sourdough bread thing as a personal challenge I could not lose to, I was able to overcome the obstacles and confusion.
I went on to teach my husband, and due to my plethora or knowledge I gave him, I was able to successfully teach him to make it as well and now we both make and sell over 1000sourdough baked items per month to our communities through our farmers markets.
I can walk you through the learning process, help troubleshoot your challenges with baking as well as guide you toward the steps of taking your breads to a farmers market for selling.
I can also teach you how to market your product(s) locally and figure out your costs so that you too can make your cottage bakery dream come true.

Jennifer is an amazing baking mentor! Before I met her, I couldn’t even manage store-bought ready-to-bake cookies and rolls without burning them. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve gone from Easy-Bake Oven disasters to creating treats worthy of Betty Crocker herself. Jennifer’s skills, patience, and encouragement truly make baking feel fun and approachable. If you’ve ever doubted your abilities in the kitchen, Jennifer will give you the knowledge and confidence to turn things around—and maybe even take home first place at your local baking contest!
