It was because of this cornbread that I decided to start my company, Red Gingham Gourmet, LLC in 2005. As a dental hygienist raising two boys, I was always looking for ways to incorporate elements of those carefree countryside memories into our busy lives. Over the years, our family has tended to everything from vegetable gardens to honey bee hives! In the late 90s I decided I wanted a chicken coup, and my husband lovingly built one for me. With the help of my two boys and ten chickens, we began having fun gathering eggs. We soon had more eggs than we could eat, so we started giving them to friends and neighbors, which in turn led to us selling at local farmer’s markets. With the support of my family and community, my entrepreneurial spirit blossomed like my flower beds, and before long I was selling eggs, cut flowers, sourdough bread, and assorted baked goods.
My company, named for the red gingham comforter that my mother made for my childhood bed, began as a way to build memories with my family. The kitchen has always been such a special place in our family, serving as a gathering place where we could come together to share everything from recipes to memories of life in the South. It is my sincere hope that my products can bring a little taste of peaceful countryside life to your busy day and give you a little more time to build memories with your own family!
