Good food. Good things. Made with purpose.
Croissants • Cruffins • Crêpes
Naples, Florida
Start with something you love.
Make Food Holy was created by 10-year-old Connor Kobakof in Naples, Florida.
His first business idea was actually hot sauce.
Then he discovered he was much more excited about croissants.
So he pivoted.
Because apparently your first entrepreneurial pivot can happen before middle school.
Make Food Holy is now Connor's place to experiment with food, learn how to build a business, meet people, make things he's proud of and see where one idea can lead.
Today: croissants + cruffins.
Next: maybe crêpes.
After that?
Ask Connor.

The next big thing
Help Connor get cooking!
Hey, I'm Connor! I'm saving up $500 for a crêpe maker so I can add something new to the Make Food Holy menu.
I already make croissants and cruffins, but I figured there's always room for more carbs. Especially the heavenly kind.

Why it matters
Good food. Good people. Greater purpose.
At Make Food Holy, I'm not just making food. I'm trying to do something good with it, too. That's why 20% of total sales go to my church — it's my way of giving back.
A Little Taste of Heaven.
Meet Connor
The kid behind the croissant.
Meet Connor.
He's 10. He lives in Naples, Florida.
He loves fishing, playing guitar, being on the water — and apparently laminated dough.
Make Food Holy is his first real dive into entrepreneurship.
He's learning recipes. Testing ideas. Figuring out costs. Building a brand. Selling to actual humans.
And this website is going to grow right alongside him.
Everybody starts somewhere

Faith
The “holy” part.
Make Food Holy isn't just a name.
Faith is part of Connor's story.
In the summer of 2026, Connor made the decision to be baptized at First Naples — a decision that means far more than anything he'll ever sell at a market.
This little business is one place where he gets to practice some pretty big things:
creating.serving.giving.working hard.
and using what he's been given to make something good.
That starts with giving. 20% of total sales go to Connor's church — his way of giving back.
Good food. Good things.

A note from Connor's mom
“I have no idea where this little business will go — and that's kind of the point. I just hope Connor always knows that I'll be here cheering for every big idea, every pivot, every win and every completely unexpected direction he decides to take. This is his story. I just feel really lucky to get a front-row seat.”
— Kerri, Connor's mom
