In the heart of a picturesque homestead, nestled amidst the tranquility of rustic charm, the Ginther family has embarked on an extraordinary journey. Meet Amanda Ginther, a woman whose determination knows no bounds, and whose family is a testament to the boundless potential of love and unity.

Amanda, along with her husband and their blended family of eight, has embarked on a remarkable venture—a bakery and farm store/mercantile. It’s a testament to her spirit, which refuses to be daunted by challenges and instead thrives on turning passions into a thriving business.

Their story isn’t just about entrepreneurship; it’s about family. A family that, despite life’s twists and turns, came together through both birth and adoption to form a tight-knit clan, united by love and a shared vision.

This extraordinary family operates their homestead with remarkable synergy. Their farm provides the very ingredients that grace the tables of their bakery, resulting in delectable dishes that are more than just food; they’re a labor of love.

The Ginther children play vital roles in this remarkable family venture. Gabbi, at the age of 17, delves into the art of pastries with unwavering dedication. Her commitment even extends to taking virtual lessons in French baking and pastry-making, 

Amanda, the heart of this enterprise, bakes up a storm with her sourdough creations and crafts delightful cheeses. Graham, at 13, brings his blacksmithing skills to the table, forging unique items like charcuterie flatware and hooks.

Genny, the 7-year-old dynamo, adds her special touch with seasonal drink creations and sugar cookies. As for Gabe and Gideon, aged 15 and 11, they’re still discovering their unique contributions to the family business, but their potential is boundless.

The Ginther family also plans to educate and inspire. They’ll be offering classes on sourdough, baking, cheese-making, and homesteading, sharing their wealth of knowledge with the community.

This thriving family business isn’t just about bakery delights and homesteading; it’s about community, collaboration, and the celebration of local craftsmanship. They’re setting their sights on partnering with other small local businesses to showcase their products alongside their own.

From homemade elderberry syrup to tallow balms, and natural deodorants, the Ginther family creates products that reflect their commitment to natural living.

But it’s the sourdough that truly steals the show. Their sourdough goodies are crafted with 100% wild yeast from a 200+ year-old San Francisco sourdough starter. The three-day sourdough bread-making process, with its slow, cold proofing, results in that classic tangy flavor we all cherish, while also making it easier on your digestive system.

The Ginther family’s story is one of resilience, unity, and a boundless passion for what they do. Their journey, still in its early stages, promises to be a symphony of flavors, experiences, and shared moments. It’s a testament to the power of family and the belief that with love and determination, anything is possible.
