Dave's Killer Bread, Milwaukie

Dave's Killer Bread is packed with protein, fiber, omega-3s, and fully-seeded, making it a hearty and healthy base for any sandwich. Each and every loaf is USDA-certified organic and non-GMO project verified hand-crafted to be a powerhouse of good stuff, such as flax, sesame, and sunflower seeds, amaranth, barley, and quinoa, so customers no longer have to raid birdhouses to get good grains.

But the story behind Dave's Killer Bread is about more than just bread, it's about second chances. In 2004, Glenn was running his father's bread company under the name NatureBake when his younger brother Dave got out of a 15-year stint in prison. Glenn invited Dave back into the fold and never looked back. Together, the two brothers—along with Glenn's son—have created a new brand: Dave's Killer Bread. And in the spirit of second chances, roughly one-third of their employees are ex-convicts. The company also gives back to their community by donating 300,000 loaves a year to area shelters.
