The office operation began January 15, 1990, and the manufacturing operation began on February 17, 1990. The bakery started with 2 shifts of bread. In December of 1991, we began a third shift of bread, which completed our bread line. We primarily produce Flowers Nature’s Own variety breads, Wonder bread, and a variety of private label brands. In June 1994, we began operation of our roll line, starting with two shifts. Within a month of operation a third shift was added. Our roll product line consists of bulk buns for our fast food accounts, and a variety of private label brands. We now produce over two million pounds of product each week.

Our distribution covers an area from Naples to Weeki Wachee Springs, and from Orland to the Gulf of Mexico.
