THE BREADFARMERS
OUR STORY

BIOGRAPHY
The masterminds behind Breadfarm are Scott Mangold & Renee Bourgault.  Opened in July 2003, Breadfarm is located in the quaint rural village of Edison, WA.  We are a passionate bunch of mixers, shapers, bakers and drivers with one common goal...to produce the finest loaves around!

Scott started his artisan baking career with Black Bear Bakery, a certified organic artisan bread bakery in Portland Oregon. Scott polished his baking skills with Grand Central Bakery as Production Manager in Portland, Oregon and later, Seattle.   During his tenure in Seattle, he pursued lots of "breaducation", attending classes at the CIA Greystone, the National Baking Institute in Minneapolis, the Ritz Escoffier in Paris and the San Francisco Baking Academy.

With a work history in sales of fine wines and gourmet coffee, Renee oversees the Sales, Marketing, Farmers Markets and development of ancillary items at the Breadfarm. She is on the board of directors of the Bellingham Farmers Market, as well as the Steering Committee for the local Slow Food Convivium. 

Nell is the most recent addition to the Breadfarm.  She was born in March 2006.  She is good at teaching her parents not to work so much, and also at keeping the tempo lively around the bakery.  We think she will be the counter girl when she gets a bit bigger.  She loves catching the eyes of our retail customers.

The rest of our Breadfarm staff is comprised of a lively bunch of folks...they come from all around the country.  As far as we can tell, they end up in this area of the state because it's such a great place to live.  We all seem to have a common dominator of loving good food and promoting local, sustainable living.  We are just lucky they found us!
