Small Business Owner
As a Swiss Immigrant to the USA, I've had the opportunity to introduce the traditional Swiss braided bread to the Vine Street Farmers Market in O'Fallon. This small cottage food business evolved into producing a gluten-free vegan bread that tastes and feels like regular bread. With the current rise of food intolerances and allergies, this specific bread has become a sought-after item at the farmer's market. It is a pleasure to build a relationship with the community and feel supported by it.
