Hi !

Whenever I meet a Galora member, I realize how similar we all are in our love for good food, and friendly connection.

In today's Meet A Member Series, we are going to meet a super member that knows how to bake friends as she bakes her way across the Galora network.  

Let's take a minute to Meet Baker Extraordinaire Jenny Treadwell. 

TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR HOBBIES:

I’ve lived in LA for a little over 15 years now post college, although I was actually born here and lived here till the age of 11.  I ended up moving to Boise, Idaho and had my childhood years as the “cool kid from LA”. I got my BA in theatre arts and today I’m a Casting Director with my own company with my casting partner. 

My fave new hobby is baking sourdough bread… yes, I took up the pandemic hobby and I love it! I saw on Instagram even Hugh Jackman makes sourdough! I also eat mostly plant-based and one of my favorite trades to make through Galora are for cruelty free backyard eggs.

WHEN DID YOU START TO CARE ABOUT THE IMPACT OF FOOD ON YOUR LIFE AND VALUES?

Working in the entertainment industry, in casting, you find yourself working crazy hours glued to the office and eating the most unhealthy, easy, quick-food. I know I personally felt like it was impossible to do what I love AND get healthy. I tried a couple times to eat better while working in a big casting office and failed. When I finally took the leap and started my own company working from home, I realized that I could finally make time for health and cooking my own healthy food. I discovered I actually loved cooking! That’s when becoming a truly healthy eater finally felt accessible to me. 

WHAT GIVES YOU INSPIRATION TO KEEP CREATING?

Pinterest was a huge source of inspiration. I found so many fun recipes to try out and one of my favorite things to do is to find a recipe that isn’t vegan on paper and turn it into a vegan friendly recipe. The plant-based lifestyle appeals to me for many reasons but the biggest one is that I'm no longer passively participating in animal cruelty.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR GALORA EXPERIENCES SO FAR!

My very first Galora experience was trading my sourdough bread for cruelty free backyard eggs from Galora Member: Camelia (Member name: The Beattie Farm.) Camelia came to my home and we had a blast doing a mini photoshoot of our goodies to post on Instagram. I adored her whole vibe and we’ve stayed in touch and her “ladies” are living their best hen lives! Camelia posts tons of videos of them and they are beloved in their home. 

HOW CLOSE WERE THOSE EGGS TO YOU?

That was very nearby, but another time that I wanted some eggs I knew Camelia had a limited (supply because they lay less eggs in the winter) so I reached out to Ryan (founder of Galora) and he connected me with another source for precious eggs in another area. I drove from the valley to Culver City to pick up 6 eggs!!  Crazy but worth it.

This member, known on Galora as "Egglady" was kind enough to set aside what she could for me and my mom, who was visiting from out of town, and we felt so honored! Their eggs had the deepest orange colored yolks I’ve ever seen!

THANK YOU JENNY!
