Dave's Killer Bread
Milwaukie, OR
The history of Dave's Killer Bread began in 2005, when co-founder Dave Dahl was welcomed back to the family bakery by his older brother Glenn after serving 15 years in prison. Grateful for the opportunity and committed to a fresh start, Dave worked tirelessly to develop a killer new recipe for organic bread. Upon it’s debut at the Portland Farmers Market in 2005 this new bread was an instant hit.
Proudly employing over 300 employee-partners at the company’s Milwaukie, Oregon 'breadquarters', the multi-generational family of bakers has since expanded beyond the Pacific NW to become America’s top selling organic bread. As committed as ever to using only the highest quality ingredients and baking with pride and care, following the example set by Dave Dahl, the company trusts in offering second chances to previously incarcerated individuals. This belief in empowering a passionate and diverse workforce is further realized through the actions of the Dave’s Killer Bread Foundation which provides support to other businesses looking to provide greater employment opportunities to those with criminal backgrounds.
