Cristina Fields with Knead by Nynn Bread Co and Shelly Weaver-Cather with Beahnie’s
Knead by Nynn is a cozy cottage bakery in Chandler Arizona ran by Cristina Fields. Knead by Nynn makes small batches of handmade kneaded doughs created with love in every loaf from their home bakery.
Her name is Cristina Fields, but her family calls her Nynn, and she loves baking bread.
Like. She really loves it.
At first this was just an obsessive hobby. The day after she made her first loaf she couldn’t stop thinking about learning more. She was overly excited and so proud that she gave some to everyone she knew. And every person she fed absolutely loved it. 
She was being asked to make bread for friends, friends of friends, random Instagram followers… and the craziest part? They wanted to pay her!
That’s when she stared blankly at her computer screen and fantasized about quitting her day job and making bread all day long.
She fell in love.
What at first was a hobby is a growing community of carb lovers, and she’s so excited to welcome you to the fam!

Beahnie’s is a sister-owned bakery focused on bringing unique flavors to classic recipes and delivering comfort to their customers’ doorsteps. After they started delivering surprise pastry boxes to their friends to cheer them up during quarantine, the Weaver sisters decided to offer their goodies to anyone who needs a break in their day or just a little extra sweetness. 
You can find them running their Bedtime Bake Sales on Friday nights in Downtown Gilbert, delivering Valley-wide on Saturday mornings, and hopefully in farmer’s markets near you as soon as they finish their trailer renovation.
Shelly Weaver-Cather is a baker, photographer, writer, marketer, wife, mother, sister, and whatever else the situation calls for. She got her start in the wedding industry as a photographer’s assistant, and eventually moved into the e-commerce world at local startup Tuft & Needle.
At T&N, she learned the art of content creation and the role that great content plays for a brand. She was able to apply these skills to not just her own business, but other brands popping up in 2020 as her friends and family started to get creative to fill their time at home.
When she isn’t wrangling a toddler, shooting the next big entrepreneur’s headshots, or baking dozens and dozens of cinnamon rolls, she’s usually rewatching Gilmore Girls for the thousandth time.
