Our story
it started in a red barn.
A commercial oven, a rented barn in Bedford, and a cookie people couldn't stop asking for. That's how Red Barn Bakery began.
“Honey, your bags are great, but your cookies are even better.”
A friend, and the start of Red Barn Bakery
randell dodge.
Randell grew up baking with her mother at their summer home on the North Fork of Long Island, learning organic, farm-to-table cooking along the way.
She studied painting and ceramic sculpture at Bennington College and built a career designing handbags. She became known for bringing homemade cookies to trade shows, and customers started asking to buy them.
