How We Started and What's In It
Butter Barn Butter came to fruition while driving on New Year's Day in 2016. My husband and I were talking about butter for some reason and thought what products could we introduce to Erewhon Markets in Los Angeles. I mentioned compound butter was popular in French cooking and he said that was it! We took it a step farther and decided to use the best ingredients possible; grass-fed butter, non-GMO ingredients, and organic then boom! A new business was born. We've moved on to baked goods as the demand was higher than butter. In addition to high- quality ingredients for the butter, we use pasture eggs as well. Using the best possible ingredients does make a difference in taste. We've gone into vegan treats as well and I went nuts creating, recreating, tasting, and enjoying the best GF and vegan baked goods ever!
"We hope you enjoy these as much as we do!"
