C & J Baked Goods

C & J Baked Goods, formally known as Grandma Barb's Pies. We are only changing our name, still, a family-owned business, since 2006. We're located south of Paris, MO on the family farm, and all items are produced in a certified kitchen. With a variety of delicious pies and a plethora of mouthwatering bread along with scrumptious cookies and cakes, we are sure to have something for everyone and don't forget we also have jar licking jams.

Here is a little bit about how we got started, and where everyone is today.

One Saturday in 2004, Barb Nobis and her husband, Denny brought Barb’s cinnamon rolls to Mexico Farmers Market. The rolls sold out. This was no surprise to Jeannie, Barb’s daughter-in-law, and kindred baker. She calls Barb, “one of the best bakers, ever.” From there, Barb started to make bigger batches and eventually added homemade bread, pies, and produce from Barb and Denny’s garden in Paris, Missouri.

In 2006, Barb began bringing her baked goods, jams, produce and pickles to the Columbia Famers Market, under the name of Grandma Barb’s Pies and Produce. Two years later she retired from her job as a manager from Abel’s Quick Shop in Paris.

Over the years, Barb, Denny, Jeannie and Jeannie’s daughter, Catie, have baked goods for farmers markets in Paris, Hannibal, and Columbia.

In 2012, Jeannie joined Barb at the Columbia Farmers Market. Jeannie had taken over the baking duties. “ I have loved to bake for as long as I can remember,” she said. “When I was 7 years old, I made homemade biscuits for my family,” Jeannie states.

“Grandma Barb retired in 2016 from the farmers market, ” Jeannie said. She and Denny, “are enjoying extensive trips to Alaska, Louisiana, Texas and wherever. They have earned the privilege of doing what they want when they want.”

In 2017, Catie married Nick Phillips, a Marine, and moved to Kailua, HI, where he is stationed and is serving our country proudly.

Jeannie continued to carry the legacy under the name of C & J Baked Goods. She brings her baked goods, jams, fudges, bread, sweets and much more! Jeannie looks forward to every Saturday where she continues to enjoy the “diversity of people, and cultures that the Farmers Market brings.”
