The Garvin family has lived in Idaho since 1990. They are true Idahoans and have been small business owners in Idaho throughout the decades.
Both Isaac and Rebekah have been married for 26 years and have 2 daughters. They graduated from North Idaho College, University of Idaho and Boise State University respectively. They have lived many places in Idaho. From a cozy downtown CDA house to a challenging canvas tipi in the snow belt of Idaho's Selkirk Mountains. From living in an apartment on Boise's Greenbelt to an old frontier log cabin in the Coeur d'Alene Mountains. They have homesteaded, homeschooled, been modern pioneers and have done "Idaho hard" –– beautifully. And at times, their family has been active in fighting for conservative Idaho values in their own neighborhood.
Rebekah grew up on a fruit farm and has always loved harvest time. She remembers her mom and grandma's harvesting each year and making homemade bread weekly (actually everything was homemade back then). Baking and creating is in her DNA.
Both Isaac and Rebekah have worked in the food service industry throughout their lives in many different capacities. Their daughter Maggie graduated from SSC and spent several years as a Pastry Cook in an elite French patisserie in Spokane. As a family they have been catering banquets and events for decades.
Their youngest daughter, Hadassah LOVES to bake and has done several cooking videos for YouTube. They are primarily creating this bakery for Hadassah. PLEASE READ ABOUT THEIR EFFORT FOR HER HERE. Rebekah wants to give Hadassah a safe place to work, earn money and serve others.
The Garvin's are so excited to build this organic bakery as Rebekah is so passionate about eating organic food only and wants to share her food with others.
Thanks for getting to know the family and for stopping by "the Beach!"
Many people ask us why we named our bakery, The Beach Bum Bakery, especially since we are not from California.
The Beach is our happy spot!
Our family agrees on 4 things: religion, politics, food and GOING TO THE BEACH. One of the things we love most about Idaho is all the lake and river beaches. We LOVE the water, sunshine and the beach so we named our bakery "The Beach Bum Bakery." It is true that whenever we have a free moment we go to the BEACH! We LOVE all kinds of beaches – even in any kind of weather. We'd be beach bums if we could. The lake and river beaches of Idaho are amazing and so are the Oregon Coast beaches! And of course, we also love the Mediterranean Coast and the Hawaiian tropical beaches. We'd like nothing more than to travel the world to visit all the beautiful beaches and water YHVH Elohim has made!
We look forward to the Happily-Ever-After when the King comes and our beach life will begin!
That's why the name. :-)
