Founded in 2020 as a cottage bakery by husband-and-wife team Aimee and Bryan Wingen, the business began as a way to care for their daughter Waylynn, who was diagnosed with a terminal genetic disorder. Baking from their home allowed them to stay with her during her brief life, and their passion for sourdough became a source of comfort and healing. After her passing in 2020, they returned to baking with renewed purpose, quickly gaining a loyal following at the Livermore Farmers Market before opening their brick-and-mortar location in June 2021. The bakery’s story is deeply tied to community support and personal resilience, with the Wingens dedicated to honoring Waylynn’s memory through their craft and ongoing community engagement.
