Our story is simple—we grew up in Boulder making bread, with a goal to make delicious bread that people would love. From day one, we’ve believed that passionate people, shared values and small batch baking techniques make for better bread. Making bread this way—the traditional way—with simplicity, quality and honesty, has always been a source of pride for everyone here at Rudi’s.
We believe bread worth making
is bread worth sharing.
our history
1976
What is now Rudi’s Rocky Mountain Bakery began in 1976 as Rudi’s Bakery, a small local bakery opened by Sheldon Romer in Boulder, Colo. Romer named the bakery after Swami Rudrananda, a spiritual leader of an ashram in New York who was instrumental in bringing Eastern culture and spiritual traditions to many Americans. Rudi’s Bakery soon gained a reputation for nutritious, flavorful, preservative-free breads, rolls and buns.
1981
In 1981, after a rigorous review process, Rudi’s entire product line became certified Kosher, and Rudi’s products began to appear on supermarket and natural food store shelves. The increased demand for Rudi’s offerings meant several moves to larger baking facilities. Rudi’s now occupies a state-of-the-art bakery in the heart of Boulder where its breads continue to be made in small batches using a special blend of centuries-old, craft baking techniques and modern baking methods
