Human Resource Assistant

We're not just a bakery; we're a family built on tradition and a passion for crafting exceptional baked goods. Our story began in 2001, with a young Amish couple selling delicious family-recipe treats from their front porch. Since then, we've grown but never forgotten our roots. We still believe in doing things the "old-fashioned way," with a commitment to quality and a personal touch with every item we bake.

Our success is a testament to our dedicated team and the core values we hold dear:

Integrity - Teamwork – Respect - Stewardship - Continuous Improvement

If you're looking for a place where tradition meets opportunity and where your work truly makes a difference, we'd love for you to join us.
