It means that our customers are guaranteed that their baked goods from us, which are always wheat/gluten and dairy-free, will never come in contact with any of those ingredients while in our facility.

Because when we claim wheat/gluten and dairy-free we are making a promise to our customers. We source all our ingredients solely from gluten-free manufacturers and only allow those ingredients into our facility. Realistically, there is no such thing as “low gluten.” When dealing with parts-per-million (PPM) increments of gluten (which is undetectable to the human eye), it is impossible to guarantee cross contamination prevention when baking in a facility that uses wheat ingredients alongside wheat/gluten-free ingredients.

Derived from co-owner Danny Turner’s allergies and sensitivities to wheat, gluten, and dairy, Pushkin’s Bakery and its products are the result of co-owner Olga Turner’s dedication to create wholesome and delicious all-natural baked goods all while excluding wheat, gluten, and dairy. What started as a single chocolate chip cookie for a friend’s birthday party soon turned into three products sold in a single grocery store. From there, Olga and Danny soon found themselves delivering their baked goods to fourteen different grocery stores throughout Northern California. With a passion to continue creating new baked goods and a feeling of absence with their consumers, the Turners decided to open their first retail location. Now in the new facility, items such as Peanut Butter Chocolate S’more Sandwiches and full-size wedding cakes, which were never an option for distribution, are daily menu norms.
