MacKenzie’s Bakery

The MacKenzies of Kalamazoo are third-generation bakers. Tracing their origins to the 1920’s, when their grandparents, Henry Woods “Cap” and Nona MacKenzie lived on a farm on M-140 between South Haven and Covert. Grandpa built a roadside stand from which they sold farm produce. Grandma began making bread, potato fried cakes, sweet rolls and pies. They still have her original recipe for the fried cakes!
