Formillay known as

"Billy Bread"

"Lecker Baking Company"

"Antbear Bakery"

now as of this week

"Valhalla Rising Bakery"

after the 3rd exchange of ownership over the last 20 years.

We generate the production of the locally known 'Billy Bread' that's not full of preservatives and authentically made in a 24hr operation run by 3 employees and the boss.

Been there for 4 years and love it. Its a simplistic safe haven from the heat of the food&corporate industry and a space for individuality/self discovery. Lots of independence and self role responsibility. All previous and current boss' have been super graceful being flexible with accommodating to personal needs, expressions and open ears to any recommendations for growth as well as employees exchanging share of hands in responsibilities when needed. Lots of open communication going about here and it's fucking awesome.

It's all wholesale, so we produce and help build sufficient economics to local retail, provisions and restaurants.

Underwent a lot needed upgrades and repairs the past 2 years that will be setting forth future moves.

I plan on staying, I'm comfortable with the pay in the current local economics and in no hurry while on my personal growth/ self discovery journey and just enjoying the ride along with the build of the business.

My former neighbor used to own Antbear. Really stellar guy. I miss him a lot (don’t worry, he’s alive and well—just moved states).
