It all started in the small bakery of a natural foods market on Main Street in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Founder Michael Smulders listened to his Celiac customers complain about the taste of so many gluten free products on the market. It wasn't right that they should have to sacrifice taste because of a food allergy. And so he made it his mission to create healthy, delicious gluten-free foods. Three years later, their gluten free granola is made in a 34,000 square foot manufacturing facility with state of the art quality controls and in-house gluten testing on every batch.
Bakery On Main joined forces with Foodshare in 2007 and though they are a small company, they’ve proven to be a great partner in a number of ways. This small natural foods bakery now located in East Hartford has not only been responsible for donating over 34,000 pounds of food to us since that time, but most recently raised money for Foodshare by donating a part of their proceeds from Internet sales in December!
The small, but eager company also chose to participate in the Food Industry Convoy of Caring last year, providing goodies for Scot Haney, and smiling even while their company SUV was dwarfed by the 53’ trailers surrounding them. The annual event helps to demonstrate just how important a role our food partners play in working to build a hunger-free greater Hartford. And after everything, they continue to ask how they can help Foodshare!
