Claire Crowell
Founder and CEO
Hattie Jane's Creamery

Claire Crowell started her journey in the food industry at age 12 stocking drink coolers and making biscuits at her father’s country market Puckett’s Grocery in Leiper’s Fork, Tenn. After moving through the ranks of their family’s growing restaurant business, Claire began to dream about starting her own company. Inspired by her first daughter’s name, she developed Hattie Jane’s Creamery in 2013 while also serving as COO for the restaurant group. She wanted to create a space and product that was reminiscent of her childhood memories living in a small Southern town while showcasing the forward-thinking flavors of the region’s modern culinary scene. Today, she serves as the company’s CEO full time while continuing to support her family’s business.
