Perched on the side of East Frederick Street in Walkersville is an old, sturdy house with a cheerful rainbow fence and a green metal roof. Inside is the little family of five to whom it belongs and their newly-opened cottage food microbakery, Green Roof Dough House. Serving up freshly-baked cookies, scones and organic sourdough bread, customers head to the welcoming “Pickup Porch” to snag their orders every Saturday from 2:30-5:30pm.
Raised in Charlottesville, Virginia, Arliss was born to a food-loving mother who spent (and still spends) many evenings testing out new recipes. This adventurous love was passed down to Arliss, first displaying itself in her college years, and taking shape with each new stage of life. During her husband Tyler’s Doctorate of Physical Therapy Program, baking became both her specialty and a way to bless Tyler’s classmates, whom they hosted often. This continued into motherhood as she welcomed her firstborn, Alia, upon moving to Frederick. Today, it’s become a way to contribute to their family financially while enabling her to stay at home full-time with her three young children and bless her local community with her passion for baking.
