In early 2023, Kelly had learned of her food allergies that were causing systemic inflammation within her body just 2 weeks before her birthday. One of her first immediate thoughts staring at the newfound and daunting list of allergies was "am I even going to have a birthday cake in 2 weeks?..."
Unfortunately, there were no bakers where we lived that were able to accommodate her restrictions. Out of necessity, Kelly was determined to make her own cake! After many tears, and truly awful cakes, she landed on a recipe that we still enjoy to this day!
Since then, Kelly began relearning how to bake and cook, accommodating for multiple food allergies. What seemed like the very end of her deep-rooted love for baking and cooking became the very beginning of a journey to master the art of "free from" baking.
Fast forward to late 2024, We picked up our family and moved to the beautiful state of Idaho in search of a better life and strong community, and we found it here in the Treasure Valley!
We broke ground on our farm in 2025 with our first flock of ducks, a garden that was fruitful with lettuce but in need of much soil improvement, and started our allergy conscious baking endeavor, and Wild Acres LLC Family Farm and Bakery was born!
