The Freedom Feature | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 Sharing our stories to food allergy freedom

We are back with this month’s Freedom Feature and I am so excited to share this one with you! We have Timothy and his wife Lisa from The Happy Mixer, a fantastic (sorta local to me; over the boarder in PA!) gluten-fee bakery! They JUST expanded and opened some new location this month, so it has been a whirlwind for them, but they were still more than happy to share their story with you. They will always be hosting a giveaway for you gluten-free foodies to receive a package of their delicious goodies! Without further ado, here is Timothy answering questions about The Happy Mixer!

Freedom Feature: Timothy and Lisa Mourer "The Happy Mixer" | Strength and Sunshine @RebeccaGF666 Connecting the celiac disease and food allergy/intolerance community together by sharing our stories to food freedom. #glutenfree

tell us a little bit about you and your background.

I acquired an interest for baking as a child helping my mom bake at home in the kitchen. In college, I got a job as a cleaner after hours at a local bakery. Every night I went in after hours to deep clean the entire store. It definitely was hard work, but it just pushed me to work harder, and eventually I worked my way up the ladder and ended up becoming the owner of a new location of their bakery. When I found out I needed to be gluten-free in 2009, the idea of a “Gluten Free Bakery” became a goal of mine. In 2012, I sold my traditional bakery back to the family I grew up working for. I then spent the next year and a half testing hundreds of recipes, and finally perfected a deliciously gluten-free line of baked goods. Finally, in December of 2013, we opened “The Happy Mixer”!

tell us more about your gluten-free journey leading to the creation of The Happy Mixer.

In my mid twenties, I constantly felt exhausted and my immune system was very poor. I finally decided to see a nutritionist to see what was going on, and she told me that I had a sensitivity to gluten. It was such a shock and hard to manage at first. Pretty much everything I ate was full of gluten, especially all the items at the bakery I owned at the time. I missed being able to eat all of the delicious baked goods I was used to, so I decided I wanted to open a gluten free bakery. I wanted to create a place where people could come and get the traditional bakery experience, but make them safe for people with gluten issues.

what’s the background of The Happy Mixer? what’s your mission?

We are The Happy Mixer! The Happy Mixer is my wife, featured in the logo.  While testing recipes, she was always eager to help!  With little baking experience, she chose to stay in her comfort zone, which apparently was mixing the dry ingredients I had already scaled up.  She would smile ear to ear while she whisked those dry ingredients into the perfect blend!  I would playfully call her my “Happy Mixer”! When it came time to give the bakery a name, I knew it had to be The Happy Mixer.  Seeing her smile in the logo is always a reminder to me of just how much we love what we do, and what baking is truly all about…Family, Friends, and Fun! Our mission is to provide people with the traditional bakery experience, in a totally safe, gluten free environment. All of our products are 100% gluten-free and delicious!

how are your products made? what safety precautions do you take?

All of our products are 100% gluten free. We do not allow any gluten in the facility, and that includes employees’ food/snacks as well. We take all necessary precautions to prevent any sort of cross-contamination, and the best way to do that is to prohibit gluten from the building. Our delicious line of goodies include a wide variety of items, such as donuts, muffins, cookies, cakes, brownies, pies, and even breads! We are very accommodating with other allergies/sensitivities as well, and have many items that are dairy, egg, and/or soy free. We even have several vegan options as well!

what does a day-in-the-life look like at the bakery?

A day in the life of the bakery starts bright and early at 3am. We come in and bake everything from scratch each day. Once our doors open at 7, customers are greeted with the scent of freshly baked breads, warm chocolate chip cookies, and bright smiles from our employees. We always make sure our products are fresh and tasty, and refill the case throughout the day. We are open 7 days a week year round, closing for just a couple days per year.

you recently expanded with new locations! you must be so proud of that! tell us a little about that process and decision.

We are so proud of our new locations! We just had a soft opening at our New Hope location, and Newtown will be opening very soon. Our New Hope shop is located in Ferry Market, on Main Street. We have a stand inside and offer pre-packaged items baked fresh in our Chalfont location. This ensures all of the items are baked and packaged in a 100% gluten free environment. Our Newtown location will be a full store where we bake on premises, like our Chalfont location. We have come such a long way in the nearly four years we’ve been open. We decided that we wanted to expand and bring our delicious treats to even more of the gluten free community! We felt Newtown and New Hope were perfect locations to set up new shops. The process of opening new locations is very intense and can be quite overwhelming at times. It will all be worth it though when we see the smiles in our beautiful new shops. Seeing how excited our customers get over our products is the ultimate reward!

what are your top selling products and fan favorites?

All of our customers have their favorites, but we definitely have some best sellers. One would be our peanut butter delight. It is our moist vanilla cake, with a layer of our creamy peanut butter, and a smooth layer of chocolate on top. It is a chocolate and peanut butter lover’s dream come true! Another best seller would be our kiffles. They are a flaky pastry dough cookie hand rolled by our bakers and filled with premium jams. They come in either raspberry, apricot, or strawberry flavors. Once you take a bite of one, you won’t be able to stop eating them, they are literally addictive! Finally, our donuts are truly a fan favorite. We offer them in a variety of flavors, such as cinnamon crumb, chocolate iced, vanilla iced, jelly, and my personal favorite, cream filled. We take a donut, cut it down the middle, and fill it with our rich vanilla cream. We then toss it in fluffy powdered sugar. It is impossible to take a bite without cream inside, exactly the way it should be!

what’s the most difficult thing about running a gluten-free business? the most rewarding?

I think the hardest thing about owning a gluten free business would be attracting people who do not have issues with gluten and overcoming the expensive ingredients. Expensive ingredients lead to naturally higher prices than a traditional bakery, which makes it difficult to compete. The main ingredient, gluten free flour, can cost up to 8x as much as traditional flour. There is also a stigma surrounding food labeled “gluten free” and when we first opened, we struggled to attract non-gluten free people. As we became more well known, they tried our products and loved them! The most rewarding thing about running a gluten free bakery is just seeing the impact it has on people’s lives. Little kids who never had a real gluten free birthday cake before, or a woman who hasn’t had a donut in over 10 years; those happy faces and touching stories are what makes owning the bakery so rewarding.

what are your hopes for the future? for The Happy Mixer and the gluten-free/food allergy community as a whole?

I have many hopes for the future. The biggest one is to continue to bring our safe and delicious treats to those who need it most. Right now, we are focused on opening our Newtown location and increasing awareness about both of our new shops. As for the gluten free/food allergy community, I’d like to see people have more knowledge of celiac disease/gluten sensitivities, and the gluten free lifestyle in general. It is so important for people, especially restaurant/food business owners that serve gluten free options, to understand what gluten is and how it affects the body of someone who has an issue with it. With many businesses trying to accommodate gluten free requests, cross-contamination is still a big issue. Hopefully, awareness and respect for the gluten free community will continue to rise.

what advice would you give someone wanting to start their own gluten-free business/bakery?

If I were to give advice to someone wanting to start their own gluten free business/bakery, I would give them the same advice I would give anyone wanting to open their own business. Owning your own business can be a big undertaking, but sharing something you are passionate about with others is truly an irreplaceable feeling!

You guys are in for a “treat” (pun intended) with today’s Freedom Feature! I was introduced to perfectly free at the GFAF Expo last October. They may just be the most fun frozen “free-from” treat you will ever eat! The brand is run by some fantastic people who care so deeply about food allergies and making sure no one is left out when it comes to a great sweet dessert. I’ll let them do the talking, though, but these frozen bites of creamy goodness will blow your mind! (Good thing they were kind enough to throw a killer giveaway for you all at the end of the feature!)

background: who are you?

perfectly free™ is a brand committed to creating delicious “Top 8 Allergy-Friendly” foods for everyone who desires a fuller, happier, healthier, free-from lifestyle. Today, food allergies affect more than 15 million Americans. That’s one in every 13 children under 18 years of age in the U.S., or about two children in every classroom. In addition, millions of households in the U.S. are simply deciding to eat healthier to feel good. And to do that more and more of us are eating free-from, allergy-friendly foods, like our perfectly free frozen bites which contain only natural, premium ingredients that are non-GMO, certified gluten-free and free from the top eight food allergens: dairy, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, soy, fish, and shellfish. All our products are prepared in a setting that is free from all major food allergens.

Finally! Another Freedom Feature! It’s been a while on out long summer hiatus, but I have a backlog of wonderful bloggers and brands to share with you! Today I am more than honored and excited to share the company of 88 Acres with you. I was first introduced to them at the Fancy Food Show in NYC this past summer. I was lucky enough to try their delicious allergy-friendly wholesome snack bars and immediately fell in love. Once I got to know more about Nicole and Rob’s new brand and buisness, along with the values and mission they have, I knew they would be a perfect fit for a Freedom Feature. You are going to be blown away not only from their delicious bars and snacks but also the high standards and community help they provide! (There’s a giveaway at the end too!)

background: who are you?

Nicole: I grew up on an 88 acre organic farm in North Brookfield, Massachusetts. My experiences on the farm gave me a strong connection to food, from tinkering in the kitchen with my mom as a child to running the family farm stand.

A few years ago I met the love of my life, Rob, and on our fourth date he almost died at dinner when his restaurant meal was cross-contaminated with nuts. The next day, I got rid of all the peanuts and tree nuts from my kitchen to help make Rob safe. I have no food allergies, but because of his, how I thought about food began to change.

I am beyond honored to have an icon in the gluten-free community on this week’s Freedom Feature. Jules Shepard, the founder of gfJules, has created an empire of amazing gluten-free, celiac-safe flour mixes that are a staple and so loved by the community. I’ve gotten to know Jules over the last few years and am always inspired by her dedication to the celiac community and her determination to only support the safest products, environments, practices, and incredible advocacy for all things gluten-free. Not only does she have a thriving business, but is also the author of numerous cookbooks and makes sure her products and recipes are adaptable for all food allergens. Jules is sharing the story of her business and her own celiac story so be prepared for a long and wonderful read (as well as an exclusive giveaway at the end of this post!)

background: who are you?

I have always been a person with a fierce sense of loyalty, of right and wrong, and of my faith. How that manifests itself has changed quite a bit over my life.

When I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I was prosecuting domestic violence crimes, training police officers and helping to draft stalking laws; now I write cookbooks, travel the country teaching people how to bake gluten free and own a gluten free flour and mixes company. Despite these obvious differences, I see the experiences as fundamentally the same, since at the end of the day I feel good about what I have done to help others and I derive positive energy from my work.Read More

Instagram post 2164819317391112965_462853852 It's STUFFING Season! 🙌 Or...do you call it Dressing? 🤔 DEBATE! What do you call this classic Thanksgiving side? 🤷‍♀️ Technically, this is "dressing" since it was baked on its own (not inside a bird). 😝 My family has ALWAYS called it stuffing and I grew up in the Northeast.
