About Us
Brød & Taylor began with a gift. Our founder, Michael Taylor, built the first folding proofer to help his mother-in-law bake bread in her chilly South Dakota kitchen, where her dough wouldn’t rise reliably. It worked so well, her friends began requesting their own.
What started as a homemade solution from a small town in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts quickly grew into something bigger. Today, Brod & Taylor supports bakers everywhere with high-quality products that transform baking challenges into simple pleasures.
