About Us

Our story began in 2005, at the Portland Farmers Market, when Dave Dahl and his nephew brought some loaves of bread to sell. They knew they had something killer and unique, but little did they know how much these products would shake up the bread aisle.

For Dave, this was more than just taking a few loaves of bread to a local market. It marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life. Though he grew up in a family of bakers, his life took a different path. A path that led to prison for a total of 15 years. But during his last sentence, he had a pivotal moment of clarity where he realized he wanted to do more with his life. He was welcomed back to the small family bakery by his older brother, Glenn. Determined to prove his worth and make a positive impact, Dave worked tirelessly to bake breads that tasted unlike anything else on the market. Packed with seeds and grains, made with only the very best organic and non-GMO ingredients. That’s how we still make bread today.

Our commitment to uncompromising taste, texture, and quality is what makes Dave’s Killer Bread different. It’s what makes it the Best Bread in the Universe. It’s what makes it America’s #1 Organic Bread. But we do more than just bake killer bread. Dave’s story of turning his life around inspires us every day to look beyond someone’s past, to see their potential. 

That’s why we are a proud Second Chance Employer. We hire the best person for the job, regardless of criminal history. We have witnessed first-hand that someone’s past does not define their future, and that sometimes giving someone a chance is all they need to become a Good Seed. 

We believe that bread doesn’t have to be boring.

That you don’t have to sacrifice taste to get organic, whole grain nutrition.

And we believe that people are capable of greatness.  

That’s what Dave’s Killer Bread is all about.
