In 2011, after about a year of dating, Marley set out on a road trip with Garrett to visit his brother, Justin, in South Lake Tahoe, CA for the holidays. On that fateful trip, the boys decided to brew a beer together. Barely knowing Justin and knowing even less of brewing, Marley decided to sit on the side and watch – until, that is, the boys pulled the bag of spent grain out and the gears started turning.
What happens if you could create a company around taking a product that is often times thrown away or fed to livestock? Cutdown on waste and bring a product to the community that was still useable and offer benefits to a person and their pets? Well, that’s what we set out to do and did in 2015! To complement our bakery, we expanded to having a small, organic farm where we get farm fresh eggs every day for the bakery. Our girls free range every day and eat a healthy, balanced, organic diet because we like to know what’s going into our chickens so we know what’s coming out in our eggs. We were found at local farmers markets, including the famous – Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle.
But guess what? That wasn’t enough for us, so we set to work find and building out a brick-and-mortar shop for our bakery and complementing it with a craft beer taproom for our community. To this day, you can still stop by and often times find Marley behind the bar helping customers find the perfect craft beer for them, all while dreaming up new and fun bakery items.
Our values are the same as the day we were founded – be sustainable, support/promote other local businesses and create a community center that is welcoming to all.
