Meet Our Family

We're the Meyer family — avid foodies, bakers, and homeschoolers with a passion for entrepreneurship. What started as a fun way to teach our kids about business has grown into Family Kneads, a full-time business built on love, learning, and community. This is not a side hustle, it's our life and we do it together.

Every loaf, cookie, and treat is made with care in our kitchen, where we combine traditional baking methods with innovative recipes. We believe that great food brings people together, and we're excited to share our journey with you.
