About Us

We’re Ethan and Whitney, the husband-and-wife team behind Southern Bread Company. What started in our home kitchen has grown into something much more than just bread. It’s become a way for us to slow down, connect with others, and bring a little warmth to our community—one loaf at a time.

I (Whitney) run the day-to-day baking and teach our hands-on bread classes, while Ethan is the quiet Engine behind the scenes— handling the website, managing the tech side of things, and helping with set up and all the heavy lifting.

Meet the Team

Avari

Bread Class Assistant

Avari is one of the friendly faces you’ll see during our bread classes. She brings warmth and creativity to every class day. You’ll often find her behind the camera capturing photos, helping with setup, and making sure all the little details are taken care of so you can enjoy your baking experience to the fullest. Avari currently attends Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College as a business and marketing major. During her free time, she enjoys painting and cooking. We’re so grateful to have Avari on our team, and if you’re joining us for a class, you’ll get to meet her soon!
