Jenna’s journey began with a simple desire: to feed her family wholesomely.
Wholesome Rise began in Jenna’s kitchen .. a place where love, patience, and fermentation come together. What started as a simple passion for nourishing her family with real, wholesome food quickly rose into a full-fledged sourdough micro-bakery serving the Elmira and Waterloo community.
Here, everything is made by hand and heart-naturally leavened, slow-fermented, and baked with integrity. From rustic loaves to soft cinnamon rolls and seasonal market favorites, every bake tells a story of simplicity, sustainability, and soul.
Jenna believes bread should be more than food .. it’s connection. It’s a way to gather families, support health through tradition, and remind us that good things take time. Wholesome Rise stands for gut-friendly, organic ingredients, refined-sugar-free bakes, and real craftsmanship you can taste in every bite.
Today, Wholesome Rise supplies local grocery stores, cafés, and its own honor-system cabinet: staying true to the belief that food made with care should be shared with trust. Whether you’re picking up your favorite loaf, trying something new at a market, or following Jenna’s journey as a baker, mother, and entrepreneur- you’re part of the rise.
Because here, we rise together- one loaf, one story, one wholesome moment at a time.
