Watching her daughter grapple with food fear and anxiety, Jereann set out to create something that would build confidence, spark joy, and help Sophia reclaim a positive relationship with food.What started as a homemade baking kit for one little girl has blossomed into a nationally loved brand—with dozens of themed kits, a thriving online community, and retail-ready boxes now found on shelves at Sprouts and beyond.Jereann shares how she turned a deeply personal mission into a fast-growing business, the challenges of building a brand from scratch, and why she believes every child—regardless of dietary restriction—deserves a seat at the table.More about Little GF ChefsWEBSITE: littlegfchefs.comINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/littlegfchefsFACEBOOK: facebook.com/littlegfchefsMore about the Love Me Gluten Free subscription boxesWEBSITE: lovemeglutenfree.comINSTAGRAM: @lovemeglutenfreeTIKTOK: @lovemeglutenfreeFACEBOOK: @lovemeglutenfreeboxMore about Jenny FinkeJenny Finke is the founder of the popular blog, Good For You Gluten Free.
