I joined almost every session of the inaugural 2025 Bread Winner Summit - expertly curated, organized and executed by
Caroline Bower; it was the perfect accompaniment to busy prep days in my home-based cottage bakery. At the time I
was approaching my 2 year mark, and despite having an extensive background in business management and operations,
running a solo-producer-product-based-food-business was (and still is at times) overwhelming. Caroline’s panel of
speakers addressed nearly every facet of our niche, and countless opportunities not yet considered. The best part,
however? Feeling less isolated and alone - as is the curse of a solo-baker with odd hours.
What Caroline has, and continues to, build is impactful, impressive and immensely valuable to our growing niche industry.
We each have our own, unique way of operating (much like our starters), but community and nourishment is at the core of
what we all do. A massive thanks to Caroline for shedding light and celebrating our work!
