Our Bakers
At Lehem Zeh our unique cooperative model invites small business owners to start or grow their business from our shared professional kitchen space. In our kitchen they gain access to professional tools, kosher certification, business and marketing support, and a community of like-minded bakers and visionaries.
Together our bakers help each other achieve their dreams of feeding their communities and supporting their families, while telling the story of their culture through their fresh and delicious baked goods.
