We founded our bakery in 1964, using the old wood burning baking oven in our grandparents' home. In the 1960's, when moving vans were rolling from the far north of Sweden to its south, workers were needed in large industries. Our bakery became a way for us to earn a livelihood in our own village, and we had a strong tradition to fall back upon. The kind of bread we bake, "tunnbröd", has always been made on the farms of Jämtland, and we had an especially good recipe from Olof's mother.
Since then, we have increased our production many times over, and our assortment has grown. In 1980 we introduced a barley crisp bread based on an old Jämtland recipe, but in its light malt like (barley) flavor it is quite unique. Our barley bread has been met with enthusiasm wherever it has been introduced, and has even won several awards, among them: The Swedish Gastronomic Academy Award.
A large step in our bakery's development came in 1993, when we began to use only organic ingredients. We were, thus, the first "tunnbröd" bakery to fulfill the environmental requirements of KRAV (www.krav.se). We feel this further strengthens our ties of baking traditions in our clean, unpolluted mountain region.
We have long since outgrown the wooden stove in Olof's boyhood home. We are a modern, family run company employing eight persons in our renovated bakery in the old school of Sandnäset village. In this way we are contributing to the economical survival of the mountain villages in northern Jämtland.
By uniting modern computer technology and traditional craftsmanship, we are able to produce an outstanding 100% organic product with an extraordinarily high quality. The bread is sold not only in Sweden but also imported to the following countries: Canada, USA and Denmark.
