Hi, I’m Catie—the founder, baker, and dreamer behind The Wild Rise Bagel Co.

Every bagel I make is slow-fermented with wild sourdough culture, shaped by hand, and baked fresh in Central Pennsylvania. There’s no commercial yeast here—just time, care, and a little natural magic.

With a background in environmental studies and a deep love for community, I started this business as a way to rise on my own terms. The Wild Rise is about more than food—it’s about honoring people, the planet, and the power of making something with love.

Thanks for being here. Let’s rise together.
