The Story

In 1997, Christen and Sarah created a natural foods restaurant called Kejara’s Bridge.  Their mission was to “bridge” themselves to the community offering foods that were flavorful and made from scratch.   Both had extensive experience working in many fine restaurants and came to know good food and the importance of fresh flavor and wanted to create a place where locals and tourists alike could come and “Feed Your Senses”!

The sisters have a real passion for the arts and very much wanted to integrate this aspect of themselves into their business.  They sponsored “A Little Night Music Concert Series” at the restaurant where musicians from all over the world come to perform.  They also support local artists by maintaining a gallery that showcases local artists, painters and photographers with a rotating monthly show.

Over the years, Kejara’s Bridge has become a community hub where friends and families gather to enjoy the welcoming surroundings and great food.   Since opening 12 years ago, Kejara’s Bridge has received many awards recognizing its flavorful food, fine recipes, coffee and comforting ambiance.  Customers and friends have asked and encouraged them to package and sell their sassy and naturally delicious creations in stores so they could enjoy their recipes at home.

In July 2003, after years of friends encouraging Sarah and Christen to package and sell their sassy and naturally delicious creations in stores so they could enjoy them at home, The Redheads food line was born.  A few local stores agreed to carry Redheads’ hummus in their deli sections. Sales grew rapidly, more products are being added to the line each year, and The Redheads continues to grow!
