Our Story

Founder and miller Maren Maddry is a passionate home cook, with a love of bringing people into community through food. 

Maren’s happy place is cooking a meal and inviting family and friends to enjoy it with her—letting the comfort of the food move people into meaningful conversation and ultimately deeper relationships with one another. Her hope is that when you buy a bag of flour or a mix, you don’t just stock the pantry with a wholesome staple, but you catch that ‘share the love’ feeling from good food, and invite others to partake in your creations. Food is nourishment for the body, people (people you invest time and care into) are nourishment for the soul—they should go together as often as possible. 

Maren is a mother to August and Robin (and one wild border collie, Keen) and wife to Travis Maddry, the best partner she could have ever hoped for. She was born and raised in Houston, Texas, lived in NYC and Europe shortly (and cooked and ate her way through them…) pursuing her opera career, and has now settled in beautiful San Marcos, Texas.
