The words “healthy” and “bakery” don’t often belong in the same sentence. But Alon Ozery started what is now the Ozery Bakery with his father in 1996 by scraping together money from family and taking out a business loan. They began in a small 700 square foot sandwich shop in Canada and at that time his brother Guy joined the team. Since then they have grown into a 90,000 sq ft facility supplying grocery store chains and natural food stores all over the US and Canada with their natural products.
Healthy bakery food is incredibly important to Alon Ozery and his family. That’s why they started their business - Ozery Bakery - and have made a commitment to only use the healthiest, freshest ingredients.
