About The Baker.
Tess is the baker, owner, and smiler of Sow Good Bakery. She grew up on an organic vegetable farm in northern Saugerties, NY. She was introduced to tofu and kale and dirt-covered potatoes at an early age, and grew up in a homemade-stewed-red-beet, chickens-in-the-house-when-sick, paul-simon-blasting kind of household, though not without the occasional high fructose corn syrup filled candy bar to her mother’s dismay. As is so common for many of us, Tess inevitably suffered from many intolerances and sensitivities; gluten, dairy, and refined sugars (and she’s better for it!). With an incredibly large sweet tooth and the roots of her upbringing, she quested to find food that made her feel good and strong, without any deprivation of sweetness. This encouraged her passion to make food that heals, promotes longevity and treats the body, mind, and spirit. She became a certified Holistic Health Counselor and a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach. She believes in a world where “thy food is thy medicine and thy medicine is thy food” and where all people deserve food that nurtures their unique constitutions and supports them along their path. If thy medicine is thy food, it may as well be a raw brownie!
About The Business.
Sow Good Bakery was created in 2012, by Tess Beatrice, to ‘let food be thy medicine.’ Her handcrafted treats are “health food”, created with intention to be as nutrient dense as possible. All products are gluten free and refined sugar free. Many are dairy free, vegan, raw, and/or grain free. She uses organic ingredients and homegrown produce, herbs, and edible flowers. All Sow Goodies are sweetened with either raw honey, coconut sugar, maple syrup, or medjool dates and just the right amount of joy. Twists on the savory, punny concepts, and healthful ingredient combinations fuel these nutritious creations, food-filled enough to be eaten any and all the time! Sow Good Bakery is committed to the health and wellbeing of the Hudson Valley and beyond. Let’s sow good for all!
