A killer move

Dave Dahl wants everyone to know right up front – it’s not fatal. Certainly, what he had done some jail time for drug abuse and theft, but for being a killer, in any case.

Bread is now a different story – is, after all, “said Dave killer bread.

The name came about almost by chance, he says.

“When I was growing up, and the word means a highly lethal. Bake my first bread was called the blues, and the second was called the killer bread, and began to dispute over the name,” says Dahl.

Then Dave and his brother Glenn, who is the head NatureBake / Dave ’s Killer Bread, I decided to put the story of Dave’s past criminal and redemption on the back label of the bread, and as a marketing tool.

“We both feel it is a good thing to do – but the bread itself is really key,” says Dahl.

Dave Dahl grew up with the smell of bread – and his father, James, began NatureBake brand in 1955. Soon all the children Dahl – Glenn, Linda, Dave and company – were working in the bakery. Glenn, the oldest, and he boughtbread from his father in 1988 and 2005, the son of Glenn Shobi, and graduated from Willamette University and came on board as co-vice-president with Dave.

In 2008, the family decided it had exceeded its field in northeast Portland, and D says that she was “just the fate of” that ended up in a bakery “capital and whole grains in the world,” and across the street from Bob’s Red Mill store Serageldin international road in Milwaukie.

“My father Bob was the first wholesale customer in 1977 when he was just grinding flour. Bob and then branched out and sold our bread in his shop, and we have flour,” says Dave Dahl.

Over the years, the Red Mill Bob Moore, the founder of a successful and expanding empire, eventually released his headquarters on the international road, across the street from a retail store, and the seizure of the old Meier and Frank warehouse space just off Highway 224 in Clackamas.

“At the same time, we exceeded our facilities. Then I saw Bob the Convention on the natural food in Los Angeles, said:” I’ve got the perfect place for you guys. ‘We are really happy to be here, “says Dave Dahl.

New space include a bakery, offices, and shop, which sells popular fresh bread at the retail-day-old bread and frozen at competitive prices.

Customers drive from all over the region to find the Metro-day old bread for $ 2 model of specialization and bread and other baked goods that can not be purchased anywhere else.

“We make it worthwhile for people to come here, and even when my bread was five days old, it still tastes like fresh,” says Dave Dahl.

After spending some time in prison, and came back to Dave Dahl NatureBake in 2005, and that shortly after that Dave killer bread line was born.

“When I was in the development of this bread, and I have done it without cost in mind – and this is a great feature, you do not have to cut corners. We use more of the best ingredients, while they are in good health, they taste really good. Takes a lot of work – and we try, try and try again until we are moving in the right direction, “he says.

He was most proud of bread called the good seed, made from cracked and rolled grains, and two types of sesame seeds, sunflower and flax seeds.

“I came from being a bad seed even the name of [good seed] very heartfelt. Everyone loves – we sell about 30,000 to 40,000 loaves a week,” says Dahl.
