GF Jules

Jules Shepard never intended to be a leader or advocate for those living gluten-free, but her journey has made her a prominent figure in the community. After being diagnosed with celiac disease in 1999, Jules, a former domestic violence attorney with a strong sense of justice, refused to settle for the bland and unappetizing gluten-free foods available at that time. After two years of experimentation in her kitchen, she created a versatile gluten-free flour blend that allowed her to continue her love for baking. Jules’ flour has been celebrated as the #1 Certified Gluten Free Flour by consumers! Its remarkable quality has earned it several awards in the Gluten Free Awards. Despite being perfected over a decade ago, many people are still unaware of Jules’ blend because she initially created it solely for herself and her family. However, as word spread and people tasted her delicious creations, they encouraged her to sell her unique five-flour blend. How could she refuse? Since launching in 2008, Jules has sold over a million pounds of her exceptional gluten-free flour—first through her previous company, Jules Gluten Free, and now through her new venture, gfJules®. Her flour and baking mixes consistently win consumer choice awards. You may have come across Jules through her speaking engagements, cooking classes, or her three award-winning books.

Her goal is to ensure that living gluten-free is safe, enjoyable, and delicious, striving to reunite families around the dinner table with meals everyone can share.
