JENNY MOWE Sweet Wife Baking, Baker City
Title: Owner Open Since: 2010 Member Since: 2022 Fav Retro Music: Vinyl Top Social Engagement: Instagram What trend or innovation has been beneficial for your company to embrace? Transparency. From day one it has been important for our customers to understand that we are not using mixes or pre-made doughs for our baked goods. We have an open kitchen that people like to look into and watch us rolling out doughs or making mass amounts of scones on our worktable. It allows our customers to understand why our items are a little bit more than the local chain grocery store.

Canopy and PM Hotel Group focuses on our people. Our hotel teams are empowered to create our own culture which is supported by our Support Center (not Corporate office).
We donate thousands of dollars each year to non-profits, schools, churches, and other causes we love to support. We have found that giving back to Central Oregon is a win-win for the community and us as a business.
