One House Bakery is family owned and operated
Why the name "One House"
Hannalee Pervan
In many bakeries there is a divide between the front and back of the house. We want our employees to feel like a team and become "One House". We want our customers to know everything is made under "One House" and we want them to feel at home.
Co-owner/Head Baker
