Madwoman Foods is a family owned business. One partner, Brendan, is Celiac and the other partner, Char, is a "Madwoman".. We're a little unconventional in our approach to gluten free baking. We want our food to be nutritious and gluten-free.

Madwoman Foods started from our own frustration when trying to find gluten-free food that was convenient to take along for lunch or eat on the go, tasted great, was nutritious, organic, and low in carbohydrates. When Brendan started eating gluten free almost two decades ago, he soon discovered there was no edible bread on the market. Oh sure, there was gluten free bread but it crumbled and tasted similar to packing peanuts. To avoid Brendan's whining, Char soon developed recipes with unique methods of creating gluten-free gourmet fare with superb flavor and superior nutrition. Brendan was the "guinea pig" or as he likes to put it, Quality Control, a department of one.

We started out in wholesale with our tea cakes and pizza, both made from almond meal. After four years of making the same items, we wanted diversity in our line of food. So, we went into retail and decided to abandon wholesale for awhile.

Our product line grew, Char made bread, rolls, buns, cakes, pies, cookies, cupcakes, meatballs, soups, entrees, and Brendan developed a small gluten-free market in the front of the bakery. Everything in the store is gluten free!

After three years in retail, Madwoman is finally going online with a new online store.

You won't find preservatives in Madwoman Foods products. The shelf life may not be a year without refrigeration but our products don't glow in the dark either.

You won't find any of the chemical sweeteners like Splenda®, Equal, or Sweet-N-Low® in Madwoman Foods. We use a natural blend of sugars called WheyLow®

You won't find any high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in Madwoman Foods products. Developed in the 1950's and used in most commercial foods today, HFCS is now being linked to increased rate of heart disease and obesity in the United States. HFCS contains unnatural, unbound fructose that has been shown to interfere with the heart's key minerals like magnesium, copper, and chromium.

You won't find unnecessary packaging on Madwoman Foods products. Think of all the pizza boxes that end up in the landfills because their waxy protective coating renders them unrecyclable. Our pizzas are displayed in recyclable bin boxes.

Having been organic farmers ourselves, we understand the importance of supporting local sustainable organic agriculture. Some of our best friends are farmers. Whenever possible, we utilize locally-produced or fair trade organic ingredients

Drop by and say "Hi" when you're in Minneapolis. If you're scared of the "Madwoman", we'll keep her locked in the back.
