I can rant and rave about the high quality ingredients, and the sourcing, and the love and care Carolyn put into these bakes (and also into the packaging and shipping), but I find myself coming back to the TASTE of these treats! Even my husband couldn't stop snacking on the oatmeal cookies. I don't do a lot of snacking, but I couldn't keep my hands out of the proverbial cookie jar :) These treats were the highlights of my daily beloved coffee breaks, and made my soul sing. I will definitely order again...and so should YOU!

I have been cognizant of my food choices for decades but, not often would I say it’s been moist, tasty and delicious😝 Everything Ive ordered from Carolyn has exceeded my expectations! Her organic stone-milled grits, Sourdough bread & English muffins, Cinnamon rolls, Chocolate chip cookies and OH…I almost forgot the Kamut bread and flaked oatmeal….ALL outstanding‼️ I will say, once you place your order, be prepared…. you are now spoiled, NEVER to return to “traditional” baked goods…. And who wants to, when DELICIOUS can also be HEALTHY, just sayin!, And it wouldn't surprise me if Carolyn blesses every order, even better💗

Friends and Family, you must try Carolyn Akens baked goods, they are all so delicious and good for you. I’m sorry I didn't order a long time ago.

I knew this bread was different the minute I opened it up. The wonderful aroma filled the air! I used the bread to make toast, sandwiches, and French toast. I highly recommend Carolyn's breads.

I ordered three items: the Sourdough Sandwich Loaf, Sourdough English Muffins, and Chocolate Hazelnut Spread. All were so delicious! I love to toast two slices of the Sourdough Sandwich Loaf to make a delicious hummus veggie sandwich. The bread is hearty and has such a wonderful sourdough flavor. The Sourdough English Muffins are heavenly! I love them toasted with some of Carolyn's Chocolate Hazelnut Spread or some all fruit strawberry jam. The English muffins have such a wonderful texture and just the right amount of delightful chewiness. As someone who has been a grateful recipient of Carolyn's health coaching, I know that Carolyn is not only concerned about making food that is delicious, but also nourishing. As Carolyn explained to me, she mills her flour just before baking, "so every loaf and treat starts with the full nutrition of the whole grain, bran, germ, and endosperm all intact." Also, her sourdough is made with four simple ingredients - freshly milled flour, water, salt, and sourdough starter. I am so grateful to order freshly milled and baked goods from Carolyn - it is food made with love!

Sometimes when you have tried (repeatedly) to make something and you just can't get the hang of it, the best thing to do is buy it from your friend who's already an expert. Thank you Carolyn Akens! This is amazing sourdough! I had TWO slices with butter and homemade jam that my cousin brought from back home from my aunt.  

All products have been delicious! The bread, grits, oatmeal, cookies-all have changed my family for the better. The oatmeal was an amazing replacement for store bought baby oatmeal. I can go on for days!
