Partner & Founder

Introducing Kate, partner of Heartwood Baking Company. Kate happens to be the youngest sister to Jim and is the creator of our hand made croissants. Kate and Jim have put their hearts and souls into making the bakery the success (we think, anyways!) it is! You may see Kate stopping in Heartwood Coffee to drop off pastry, croissants, and bread!

Partner & Founder

The man, the myth, and the sourdough creator for Heartwood Baking Co. (oh, and a partner as well!) Jim has put countless hours into making our country sourdough the beauty it is today. This business could not be possible without his expertise in, well…just about everything! We all admire Jim for his humble soul, intense work ethic, and his drive to make his thoughts and goals into a true reality. If you see Jim at Heartwood Coffee, give him a huge high five!

Kitchen Manager

Chloe Martin is our kitchen manager and has been with us from the very beginning. She’s enjoyed watching the business grow over the past few years and can’t wait to see even more pastry head out of the kitchen and into customers' hands. In her free time, Chloe can be found coaching soccer, spending time with family, or playing with her dog, Winks.

Storefront Manager

Tiffany is owner of Harvest Bell Farm, but loves her time at Heartwood Baking Co. Tiffany has known the Heartwood group since the early days when they all attended Geauga Fresh Farmer’s Market together & the bakery was just a dream! Heartwood gives her the opportunity to get off the farm and enjoy prepping, baking & testing the baked goods. As a small, female, family business owner it’s great to work with another local business!
