Hi! I'm Stephanie, owner of Sage Baking Co. Born and raised in the Hudson Valley region of New York, I grew up in an Italian-American family where fresh bread and pastries from our local Italian bakery were staples in our household. Some of my greatest memories growing up revolved around those baked goods and how they brought my family together. Whether it be during the holidays or just a normal Sunday dinner, it was a time we shared in something that we all loved and bonded over. Food has always been close to my heart and the kitchen has always felt like home to me. It not only nourishes us but also creates memories and bonds that are passed down through generations. Nowadays, food allergies are becoming more prevalent within families, making it harder for people to share the same foods and create those same bonds and memories. Over the past several years, I have experienced this firsthand. My gluten-free baking journey began in 2019 when I found out that my son had a wheat allergy. I have sadly watched him feel left out when we went to markets and found limited items that he could enjoy, or when he was restricted to certain items during holiday meals with loved ones. This experience has made me eager to recreate food that everyone can enjoy, regardless of their dietary needs. This is why I'm passionate about providing my customers with baked goods that are not only allergy-friendly but also taste just as good as any other baked goods. My goal is to bring everyone the same emotion of joy when they experience my baked goods. Sage Baking Co. has been a dream of mine for several years and I am thrilled to finally be making it a reality. My mission is to provide delicious homemade baked goods for local families and individuals who have food allergies or dietary restrictions in hopes that they too will create lasting memories with their own families. Thank you for supporting my small business and allowing me to serve you. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
