A&J King: Artisan Bakers LLC. Salem MA

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.

Andy & Jackie King

After meeting each other at the New England Culinary Institute, in Montpelier, VT, Jackie and Andy decided to simultaneously pursue careers in baking and each other. After just a few months of working at the Standard Baking Co. in Portland, ME, they decided to tie the knot. Three years after that, they decided to open a bakery.

It’s not much more complicated than that, except we’re leaving out how complicated a large yellow lab makes things.

And they have a baby named Emaline.
