About Us
Belle founded Paleo Mama Bakery following a decade-long personal struggle with an autoimmune disease. After being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, she became increasingly frustrated and malnourished, leading to a discovery of the strong connection between the gut and disease. After eliminating inflammatory foods such as grains, gluten, dairy, and sugar from her diet, Belle quickly began to feel better. This led to not only the education but also the ability to learn to cook and bake without using inflammatory ingredients. As a result, like many of us, Belle became more mindful of nutritional intake and the ramifications that ensued.
At it's offset, it was important for PMB to develop a range of delicious and healthy desserts that catered to dietary needs without compromising taste or quality. Having experienced the challenges of living with a debilitating disease and struggling to find healthy dessert options, Belle decided to leverage her experience to make a positive impact and assist others. In September 2014, Paleo Mama Bakery was established in Madison, WI, with the goal of helping others achieve healing through dietary changes. Our focus was creating nutritious and delicious treats for individuals with conditions and allergies, as well as those seeking food made from simple, healthy ingredients.
We currently offer over 70 gluten-free products through our retail and wholesale channels, supplying over 20 stores and restaurants throughout Wisconsin and Illinois. Approximately half of our products adhere to the paleo diet and are naturally sweetened with raw honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar. The other half caters to the keto diet, being low in carbohydrates and free from added sugars. While we are able to achieve and follow both these diets, we simultaneously utilize alternative flours such as almond flour, coconut flour, cassava flour, and arrowroot flour, while refraining from using artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.
