Geri Peacock - Baked Goods, Overcoming Hardships and Curiosity

Staying Conscious with Meg & Aly

Today we are bringing you an episode that will fill you with hope, nostalgia, and joy. During these rough times, I think we could all use a little more of those things in our lives. Geri Peacock opened Cherbourg Bakery over 10 years ago during some hard times. She shares her story with us and all of the stages/phases she went through to get her business up and running. Cherbourg Bakery is a gluten free/nut free bakery, everything is made fresh daily, by-hand in small batches and following traditional recipes. You are going to love the recipe stories that Geri shares with us and probably be left salivating just like we were. Geri also tells us how the bakery got it’s name after a small port-town in France called Cherbourg. “A place of liberty, freedom, and where you can find peace and get to where they need to be and where they let everyone into their hearts and don’t get angry about it when they leave.” As soon as you walk into the Cherbourg bakery, you feel the nostalgia of being back in your grandma’s kitchen during a large family gathering. Geri has created a really special place that is warm and welcoming and completely safe for everyone with gluten and nut allergies. We end the conversation very light-hearted discussing self-care, travel, and wondering what the moon smells like. We hope that this episode leaves you with inspiration and joy. Please check out the show notes for ways that you can help support local businesses during this time.
