Proprietor at The Model Bakery
 
Karen Mitchell grew up in Portland, Oregon, where her family ran the popular Berg Chalet, a favorite of James Beard. After earning her BA from Willamette University and completing graduate work at UCLA, she moved to St. Helena in the 1970s with her husband, John. In 1984, she transformed a local bakery into a European-style destination, building a loyal following. In 2000, her daughter Sarah joined the business, leaving the corporate world to help manage the bakery. Today, Karen is working on a cookbook and lives on a family farm, where they grow Syrah grapes and maintain an organic garden for the bakery.
