The Three Bears

We are a family of 3, Jabin, Natalie and Perry. Jabin and I have dreamed of a bakery together since we got married in 2012.

2016: Welcomed our business namesake Perry Bear himself!

Nov 26th 2017: Mama Bear's hairbrained idea, let's start keto!!

2018: Lot's of great Keto meals, very few successful Keto breads.

Dec. 2018: Successful Keto BREAD!

Feb. 2019: Bake sale among friends that turned into 30 orders (some from people we didn't know via Facebook page) we thought "we are so over our heads, we can't do this"

Feb. 23rd: God had a plan that terrified us, we were MEANT to do this whole "bakery" thing FULL TIME!

And then....By March 1st 2019 we had a full blown Keto/Low Carb bakery, owned and operated by us! No more jobs outside of the home, self employed 100%.

Jabin: went to KSU for Bakery Science and has worked in the industry for 13 years, he has worked for Sara Lee, PepperidgeFarm, Glutenfreeda, Kraft, Awrey's, Hostess, Bimbo, Thomas English Muffins and so many more! He's got the ingredient knowledge you never knew you wanted to know! He is currently coaching Perry's baseball team.

Natalie: went to college for Art & Design and has been a photographer for 11 years. Was a stay at home mommy once Perry was born. (Couldn't bake a cookie to save her life when Jabin and her started dating in 2010). She is now the team photographer for Perry's baseball team.

Perry: Loves school & his baseball team, spends time with all of his amazing grandparents and great-grandparents and loves his two pups Hallie and Harrison. Chances are if you have been to our facility you have had a silly conversation with him, our littlest helper.

Within our FIRST YEAR in business with so many accomplishment that we never expected. What a dream come true! Shipping across the US, selling out fully stocked farmers market and holiday marts and having orders flood in daily. Whole-selling to other companies, 3 local television appearances, radio podcast interview and more on the way.
