A&J King: Artisan Bakers LLC. Salem MA

Andy & Jackie King


Jackie and Andy King met at the New England Culinary Institute, after which they moved to Portland, ME to pursue their careers in baking. After training at the Standard Baking Co., they decided to move to the North Shore of Massachusetts to try their hand at the bakery business. They have two children, Emaline and Elliot, and a rotating cast of animals living with them.  They would not be able to do any of this without the ongoing patience and understanding of their parents, who pretty much are totally awesome.

OUR BAKERS – We ask a lot of our bakers. Some of them have to get up at 2 am, some of them have to stay until midnight. They scoop hundreds of cookies and rolls hundreds of croissants, they work in front of 450 degree ovens, and they sweep the never-ending settling of flour on the bakery floor. They also produce some of the best breads and pastries we can imagine, and we all have a pretty darn good time doing it.

Want to join them? Spots don’t open often, but feel free to send us your resume or give us a call. We’d be happy to let you know if there are opportunities available.


It is our hope that more and more communities will have bakeries of their own as people are reintroduced to the freshness of locally-made products. We are proud to join those bakers who have helped revitalize the artisan bread movement in this country.
