Our Story
It all began because my family is a strange and amazing mixture of Greek, Italian, and Irish people. Growing up I had a deep love of Baking and constant exposure to dishes from our heritage. In the winter of 2007, I decided to bake some bread one chilly night (I had never before really delved into bread- my main areas of passion had been making the perfect chocolate chip cookies and a variety of other baked goods) Being a bit of a baking rebel, and instead of following the recipe word for word, I decided to add extra things. Several hours later, I pulled a beautiful loaf out of my old oven.
Everyone who tried it, loved it. That inspired me to keep concocting new ideas with breads and shortly after that, I threw in everything I’d make a good pasta sauce with into a bread, and the Tuscan Bread was born. (Tomatoes, Garlic, Rosemary, Oregano, Basil and Olive Oil) I had so much good feedback I thought I’d try to see if I could sell a few. A friend of mine owned a french restaurant and told me I could use her kitchen when they were out of it. So, I went in one Sunday evening and made 12 loaves. The following morning, I went from business to business with a basket on my arm with samples and the bread in the car. Within the hour I’d sold all of them… I was shocked. Long story short, My business was born.
It’s been quite the adventure the last 12 years. I did take a 3yr hiatus to care for my grandma who had dementia until end of her life in 2018 and that was a definite priority and privilege that I’m so grateful to have experienced. In the spring of 2019 I pulled my little business off the backburner and despite losing our storefront due to the Corona Virus (I was able to get my home kitchen certified) we are keeping our head above water. I am so deeply grateful to be part of such a wonderful, supportive community and I am looking forward to further opportunities to grow our little business.( I now have several, fantastic, bread loving people who are working for me) Why LadyBread? Because I’ve always had a love of Ladybugs and if more people used them instead of spraying toxins on their crops we’d be in much better shape in so many ways! Also, I just love them. 🙂
