Their first product, the folding proofer, was a novel homemade gift from Brød & Taylor’s founder, Michael Taylor, to his elderly mother-in-law. She needed a reliable way to rise bread in her small–often cold–South Dakota kitchen. Now, the Folding Proofer is beloved by countless bakers and also provides accurate temperature control for culturing, fermentation and slow-cooking. And they didn’t stop there: Brød and Taylor now makes everything from precise kitchen scales to sourdough homes to knife sharpening tools and more. Nestled in a small town in the heart of the Berkshires in Northwestern Massachusetts, Brød & Taylor thinks big. [/banner-text-break]
