Companion Bakeshop was
created in 2006 with the help of a supportive community and out of the love of
hearty sourdough. In the early years Erin spent long days in the kitchen
hand-mixing all of the dough, baking, packing and working the famers markets.
The work of those long days was made lighter by the many hands of many friends.
It seemed no one owned Companion, it was led by the few of us that
had the vision to see it through. You could say that Erin was the last one
standing —literally with dough up to her elbows.
A self taught baker, Erin
loves a kitchen with aromas of cinnamon, butter and the tanginess of sourdough.
She holds a degree in Agriculture & Fruit Sciences from Cal Poly State
University. She continued her education at UCSC completing the CASFS (Center for
Agro-ecology & Sustainable Food Systems) program.
In 2010 Erin & Jeremy
found a home for Companion and opened the Bakeshop doors on the Westside of
Santa Cruz.These days, Companion is still run as a family; meaning the business
has grown from 2 people to over 20 employees.
For us, Companion Bakeshop
is a love story. It is the story of a business that has so much heart and soul
that it seems an anchor to our community.
