We Care about Each Other:

We always act with respect, empathy, and support to our employees, neighbours and customers.

We Care about Community:

We believe in minimising unsustainable practices and reducing waste. While ensuring we continue to provide everyone with nutritious high-quality food.

We Care about Nature:

We're committed to sustainability across our supply chain-from reducing waste and reusing surplus to supporting regenerative farming that helps restore the planet.

Every day is different at The Bread Factory, but here are some of the things you will be doing:
