How it began

Score’s Origin Story

The 90’s

Canning Preserves & Jams

One of my favorite parts of childhood summers was standing up on chairs surrounded by boiling pots of fruit and sugar with my late grandmother. I was not the most helpful assistant, usually eating more fruit than I chopped and winding up with skin dyed whatever color the fruit was that day, but she taught me each step with patience and care. Score’s is named in her honor.

Baking Bread

I started making bread from old recipe cards that had to be translated from my family’s signature chicken scratch. With each loaf I got more excited to experiment with my own recipes (trust me, there were plenty of flops along the way). What started as a way to connect with my roots became a steady part of my everyday life. 

A special shoutout to my husband for taking a 2am photo of my very first successful, slightly delirious sourdough loaf.

Score’s is Born

After a whole lot of bread, jam, and cookies passed out to friends, we have decided to officially open up shop. See us at local markets later this summer.

about Jackie

The person behind the apron

I learned to cook and bake by watching the people in my family turn simple ingredients into something that could feed a crowd. There was always flour on the counter, something rising under a towel, or a pan of something in the oven.

Years later, that same rhythm still fills my kitchen. Only now it’s sourdough bubbling on the counter, a mix of old family recipes and new experiments. I bake with fresh, local ingredients whenever I can, because good food should taste like the place it comes from and support the community it serves.

For me, baking isn’t just about bread. It’s about connection both to where we come from and to the people around us. It’s the idea that everyone deserves access to real, nourishing food. Each loaf feels like a small way to honor the family that came before me while making sure the humans surrounding me are fed and cared for.

Things I’m currently into

Growing most of my home's produce in my slightly chaotic garden
Collecting different art hobbies (currently it's book binding)
Reading entirely too many fantasy and romance novels
Re-enacting dance movies from the 00's in my kitchen
Volunteering for food justice and access organizations that I believe in
Experimenting with new food preservation recipes and methods
