Meet Nourish Bakery™, a pioneer in the category of grain-free and Paleo food retailers. Led by founder Stacey Schlaman, the bakery opened its doors in May 2015 to provide delectable and grain-free foods for those requiring GAPS, SCD, Paleo or other diets for medical reasons, and those who want to improve on general fitness. Committed to the production of both sweet and savory foods that go “Beyond Paleo.” Nourish Bakery™ products range from rich almond bread, cheesy pizza crusts and satisfying cinnamon rolls to smooth and flavorful ketchups, mayonnaises and pasta sauces.
Stacey Schlaman, the founder, has been an advocate of healthy eating and exercise for years. As a personal trainer and yoga instructor she noticed that her clients and students following lower carbohydrate diets seemed to have the most improvement in strength, endurance, weight loss, and general health. This type of diet and lifestyle became personal and an essential part of her life when her daughter began to very evidently show signs of autoimmune and other health issues. After struggling to find foods that would satisfy a number a food allergies and special diets, she vowed to dedicate herself to making these foods available for others, so that she could, in some way, help alleviate the heavy burden many of her customers were already carrying.
“My hope is that I can provide a convenient option for those with special dietary requirements,” said Schlaman. “This market is so vastly underserved and so many want and need the types of food we create. I hope we are able to make life a little bit easier, for people that all too often carry a heavier burden than most.”
