Hey DG fam! 🖤
We’ve had so many new faces around here lately, so I thought I’d introduce myself and share a little about the person behind Dead Grain Bakery!
I’m Jennifer, but you can call me Jenny. 😊 I’ve been married to my best friend, Chris, for 16 years, and we have six amazing kids Ashlynn, Maddilynn, Emmalynn, Cameron, Asher & Wyatt. If you’ve visited us at a market, you’ve probably seen a few of them helping out…or adding to the chaos. 😂
Our gluten free journey started in November 2019 when Maddilynn began having health issues we couldn’t explain. Once we finally got answers, the pieces started falling into place for the rest of our family. Eventually, multiple of our kids were diagnosed with celiac disease.
Then in January 2022, our oldest, Ashlynn, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Thankfully, gluten free living was already our normal, so that was one less major adjustment during an already overwhelming time.
I’ve always been the baker in my family, but gluten free baking made me feel completely out of my element. There were PLENTY of failed recipes. 😂 But I kept learning, experimenting and eventually started creating recipes of my own.
About three years ago, I started dreaming about opening a gluten free bakery, but I was scared. Truthfully, sometimes I still am! I still wonder if anyone will order or if people will show up at the market.
Thankfully, Chris knew I needed a push. He finally told me, “You’re never going to start unless someone makes you. So you’re opening on this day.”
And I did. 🖤
These past few months have been scary, exciting and incredibly rewarding. Every order, returning customer, share, and especially every person who tells me, “I haven’t been able to eat this in YEARS,” or the smile on their face when they realize everything is gluten free, reminds me why I started.
Dead Grain isn’t about being the fanciest bakery.
It’s about the kid who wants a cookie like everyone else, the person who misses soft bread or cinnamon rolls, and giving gluten free families one less thing to worry about. 🖤
Whether you’ve been here from the beginning or you just found us today, thank you for being here and supporting this crazy little dream of mine.
I’m Jenny—the slightly chaotic mom of six behind the mixer. 😂🖤
Welcome to the DG fam!
