🌿About Me!🌿
Hi friends! I’m Taylor, the baker, wife, mama, and heart behind Fig Tree Organics here in South Knoxville.
Southern food has always been in my blood. I grew up watching my mama and grandma bake from scratch, and I’ve been in the kitchen ever since I was big enough to stir a bowl. Cooking and baking have always come naturally to me... it’s just in me. These days, I spend almost every day (between homeschooling our 8-year-old daughter) in my kitchen curating new recipes. From old-fashioned Southern favorites to healthy, allergy-friendly versions of nostalgic classics, to birthday cakes and catering for events.
Believe it or not, even your favorite Little Debbie cakes from childhood (like those oh-so-delicious but unhealthy Fudge Rounds) can be made wholesome and nourishing without compromising the flavor, texture, or the nostalgia! 🤩
The name Fig Tree Organics came to me after reading Matthew 21:18–22, where Jesus curses a fig tree for not bearing fruit. That story changed how I saw my own life. I realized I wanted to live fruitfully, to share my gifts, and to use what God gave me to bless others. Although we do have fig trees growing on our little homestead, the name means so much more than that– it’s a reminder to live with purpose and faith in everything I do.
I believe food should heal and nourish, not harm. Every item I make is created with organic, unprocessed, dye-free ingredients, and I’m proud to offer options for EVERYONE– gluten-free, grain-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free, and even kosher-friendly– all without charging an arm and a leg. Everyone should have access to foods and desserts they can enjoy without breaking the bank.
Every batch is prayed over, every recipe tested with love, and every customer treated like family. ❤️
I also love bartering with other small businesses and families‐ whether it’s a trade for garden produce, handmade goods, or something else meaningful, community means everything to me.
Thank you for supporting my little faith-filled kitchen dream.
Rooted in faith. Baked with love. Made to bless. 🍞🌿
With love,
Taylor
Founder & Baker, Fig Tree Organics
