Sister Schubert Today

Today, husband George and I remain involved in Sister Schubert's Homemade Rolls, which is part of Lancaster Colony's T. Marzetti Company specialty foods division. We feel very fortunate, every day, that we can take care of our family by performing work that we truly love.

After we sold our stock, we decided there was a greater purpose for our financial abundance. In 2001, we set up the Barnes Family Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to improving the lives of the less fortunate and enhancing the community through education, historical preservation and compassion. To learn more about our mission and works, visit www.barnesfamilyfoundation.org.

Sister Schubert's Homemade Rolls continues to grow. We add new products and expand into a larger geographic region each year.

Through the years, we have stayed true to our roots. Our rolls have the same home-baked quality and taste as my grandmother's. We use simple, wholesome ingredients like fresh milk, butter and whole eggs,and every single roll is still placed in the pan by hand.

Our family has also grown. We now have five children – Charlotte, Chrissie, Laura, Evans and Alex — and we are proud grandparents of Thomas, Anna, Mary Margaret, Dylan and Clay.

Like most families today, we sometimes struggle to find quality time to spend with one another in the midst of juggling busy work and school schedules. We set up this Web site to provide ideas, tips and hints for families to make the time they spend together more meaningful.
