Jani Hershberger '11 has found success in Heritage Bread Co., a home business she started thanks to word-of-mouth. Jani relies on local, natural ingredients to make her signature sourdough bread. Jani started her journey by trying to make better bread for her family, using a sourdough starter provided by her sister (who is now her sous chef). Soon after, she began to sell her extra loaves to local farmer's markets, and thus, a loyal base of customers was created.
Jani focuses on keeping her operations small, so customers receive the best product possible. Jani will even hand grind the grain she uses for her sourdough loaves and other products. She also utilizes several ancient grains to help make her bread as good as possible, but also making it quite unique too. COVID saw a boom for Heritage Bread Co. with convenient and easy porch pick-ups for Hershberger's goods. Jani now has a shed on her property known as the "bread shed" to help with the operations resulting from the growth during the pandemic. You can find Heritage Bread Co.'s menu on their Facebook page, where you can choose from a variety of products, such as pies or cookies. Hershberger will also deliver to Local Roots in Wooster, as well as Canton Importing to sell her goods.
