Hi, I’m Karen.

I’ve been a baker and small business owner for over 7 years. I moved to Mancos in October 2025 from Boulder, Utah, where I owned and operated the wood-fired bakery Boulder Bread.

In my first business I specialized in sourdough wood-fired bread production, and also made baguettes, bagels, pastries, granola and other treats. I also hosted community pizza nights with a small team and catered some private events with my mobile wood-fired oven.

Here in Mancos I work out of the Mancos Bakehouse, a collective baking space managed by a group of small-business bakers. Part of the mission of the Bakehouse is to host baking classes for the community, and I’m excited to be a part of this new endeavor.

You can also find my baked goods at Zuma Natural Foods, Millie’s, and the Mancos and Dolores Farmers Markets.
