The Baker

Hi, I'm Leigh Anna.

I'm a wife, mom to three grown kids, and now a grandma too. Home is Austin, where I live with my husband Robert and our two dogs, Georgie (a scrappy little poodle mix) and Samson (our big Australian Shepherd, who's also a certified therapy dog with APD Pet Team).

Sourdough started with a lot of practice, and a lot of failed loaves. I loved giving the good ones away to friends, and it turned out I was pretty good at it. One friend asked to buy 12 loaves as Christmas gifts, and after that, people just kept asking. So I started selling one loaf at a time.

Baking is like therapy for me. And it means I get to give back too: a portion of every order supports a great program called Red Bird Ministry.

Giving back

A portion of every order supports Red Bird Ministry.

Red Bird Ministry does real, on-the-ground work in the community, and a piece of every loaf you buy helps support it. It's part of why this bakery exists, not just to sell bread, but to give a little further than the kitchen table.
