Abby Jane Bakeshop
Shari Braly Grant for an Emerging Woman Restaurateur: $5,000
Led by lauded Chef Abby Love, Abby Jane Bakeshop exclusively uses Texas-grown heritage grains to make coveted pastries, bread, and pizzas from a charming storefront in Dripping Springs.
The painstaking stone-milling process creates treats that are more nutritious, exceedingly flavorful, and more easily tolerated by those with gluten and grain sensitivities. Through meticulous sourcing and collaborations with other Central Texas artisan makers, Abby Jane Bakeshop boosts local food economies and rethinks labor culture. Grant funds will outfit the kitchen fully after delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
