Quality breads, a family tradition since 1984

From the beginning, we promised never to compromise our high-quality techniques or our unmatched customer service, for any reason. Growth and expansion of our product line has not impinged on that promise. As a family-run operation, we control how we invest in people and equipment, and maintaining our legacy and reputation continue to drive those decisions. We are committed to service with quick response times, flexibility, and understanding the needs of the current market. Our customers turn to us when they need new ideas, new products, and a partner they can trust. When you work with us, you work with the proud owners and team members of a business built on relationships and a spirit of partnership.

Bread is our passion.

We bake, fresh freeze and ship hundreds of different bread products like Hamburger Buns, Pan Breads, Subs, Table Breads and Dinner Rolls. Whether you’re looking for rolls to accompany a meal or buns for building the perfect sandwich, we can help you find the right bread solutions for all of your needs.

Service is our specialty.

Our highly involved level of service goes back to the idea that as a customer, you’re part of our family. For family, we go above and beyond. We get to know your business and your needs, enabling us to bring you ideas and recommendations specific to you. We make the process as smooth and easy as possible.
