Want to know more about us?
I am the head baker and business mind behind Nana's Cottage Minnesota. Just a few years ago, my husband was building his airplane in our basement, and I was working my corporate job. Today, we have moved the airplane out to our hangar and repurposed the space in our basement for the bakery.
Hey there, I'm Adria.
We love to travel, adventure, and discover this beautiful earth!
I had always loved to bake, but never really had the time to perfect the craft. Now I have time to study, learn and practice the art of bread making. I quickly discovered how amazing it is not only to bake, but to share homemade, organic, healthy options. Pulling from my 25 years in business, I established a plan to share my baked goods with my community. It has been an exciting and successful journey to say the least!
Baking and business really came together for me naturally.
I had been living my life doing all the "right" things. I worked in consumer packaged goods (foods) for my entire corporate career, and for much of it as a director. I had the job many dream of, but it wasn't my dream. After years of sticking it out never really being happy, I decided to change direction. I retired at 48 to figure out what I wanted to do with my life.
After 25 years in Corporate America I decided to walk away, and take a chance on me.
