Travis

Hello! I appreciate you taking the time to get to know us all a little better here at the bakery.  My name is Travis and I grew up in Fergus Falls, MN.  I’ve been working in the customer service industry for over 22 years.  I’m driven by family, community, discipline, and hard work.  Hobbies of mine are always learning something new, physical fitness, car tuning, and living an examined life.  My favorite product is the Whole Wheat Sourdough Dana Bread.

Luke

Luke is quite the fellow at Backwards Bread, and we couldn’t imagine it without him. He’s been with us since August 2018. During the summer, Luke will sell bouquets of his beautiful flowers here at the bakery! Some of his favorite items here at the Bakery include the Roasted Garlic Sourdough and the Palmiers. At home, Luke, by his own words, is “a music maker, origami folder, flower grower, pencil drawer, insect spreader, Lego builder, and sci-fi reader.”

Nate

Nate is one of our bakers. He’s worked at Backwards Bread since August 2020, and we don’t know where we’d be without him. His favorite items at the bakery include the Craisin Wild Rice loaf and our Cardamom Buns. Outside of the bakery, Nate heartily enjoys snowboarding & collecting vinyl.
