Bakery Mixer

We're not just a bakery; we're a family built on tradition and a passion for crafting exceptional baked goods. Our story began in 2001, with a young Amish couple selling delicious family-recipe treats from their front porch. Since then, we've grown but never forgotten our roots. We still believe in doing things the "old-fashioned way," with a commitment to quality and a personal touch with every item we bake.

Our success is a testament to our dedicated team and the core values we hold dear.

• Integrity
• Teamwork
• Respect
• Stewardship
• Continuous Improvement

If you're looking for a place where tradition meets opportunity and where your work truly makes a difference, we'd love for you to join us.

The Bakery Mixer is responsible for the foundational step of the production process: scaling, measuring, and mixing raw ingredients according to recipe formulations to create high-quality doughs and batters. This role requires precision, an eye for consistency, and the physical stamina to keep pace with baking and production schedules.

• Accurately measure, weigh, and combine raw ingredients according to established recipe specifications.
• Operate mixers.
• Ensure quality standards are being met.
• Maintain an organized and sanitary environment.
• Follow GMP and PPE policies.
• Adhere to safety protocols.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

• Ability to follow recipes precisely and maintain consistency in taste and appearance.
• Ability to monitor dough and batter development throughout the mixing process, checking correct temperature, texture, and consistency before releasing to the baking line.
• Demonstrate eagerness and willingness to learn new tasks.
• Availability to work weekends and holidays when needed.
• Strong basic math skills required for accurately scaling, multiplying, or dividing recipe formulas.
• Ability to read, understand, and follow written recipes, safety instructions, and equipment manuals.

• High School Diploma preferred.
• Previous baking or commercial food production experience is preferred.
• Proficiency with commercial mixers, ovens, and high-volume production techniques preferred.

• Capability to perform physical activities, including lifting up to 50 lbs. unassisted, bending, standing, walking, reaching, and twisting.
• Comfortable working around large moving machinery and in environments that can be warm and dusty (flour airborne particles).
• Adequate visual and auditory acuity.
• High-heat environments (fire cookers).
• Ability to work in cold temperatures (freezers/refrigerators).
• Fast-paced, team-oriented, and safety-conscious atmosphere.
