7 Hills Sourdough named Business of the Month for community engagement and quality products

In the warm glow of the Seven Hills City Hall, a sense of community pride filled the air as the city recognized its latest "Business of the Month." Valerie, co-owner of 7 Hills Sourdough, stood beaming as city officials celebrated her bakery's commitment to quality and service. Located at 7490 Leadwin Drive, 7 Hills Sourdough specializes in crafting delicious sourdough-based products using organic flour and clean ingredients, a testament to their motto: "simple ingredients, simply delicious."

Launched in 2024 at the Cuyahoga Valley Farmers Market, 7 Hills Sourdough quickly gained traction, expanding to the Thursday market in Seven Hills and securing a vendor space in Akron's North Side Marketplace. Valerie Ann, the driving force behind the business, credits her family—husband John and children Ellie and Edison—for their unwavering support, often seen helping out at local markets.

The bakery has cultivated a loyal customer base, offering a variety of favorites from plain sourdough to unique flavors like cinnamon sugar and everything bagel loaves, alongside indulgent brown butter chocolate chip sourdough cookies. Their user-friendly website allows customers to conveniently order and choose pickup options, including local delivery.

Beyond their delicious offerings, 7 Hills Sourdough actively engages with the community, supporting local schools, Boy Scouts, and youth programs during the holiday season. The city expressed its gratitude for the bakery's integrity and commitment to providing healthy, tasty products.

As the proclamation was presented, Mayor Anthony Biasia and city officials conveyed their appreciation for 7 Hills Sourdough's contributions to the local business landscape. With a bright future ahead, Valerie and her team continue to embody the spirit of Seven Hills, fostering connections through their passion for baking and community involvement.
