About When Pigs Fly Bakery ("When Pigs Fly, Anything is Possible"): 


When Pigs Fly Bakery was started in March of 1993. Ron Siegel, who had run his own restaurant and at that time had worked in a restaurant in Boston, had decided to get into the bread baking business.


He practiced baking loaves out of his home and when he was ready to start he rented out a small space in Wells, Maine and brought samples to local stores and restaurants. His first day in business he baked 80 loaves of bread. While visiting from California that May, his brother Andrew thought the bread was so good that he switched careers from accounting to bread baking and joined Ron in May of 1994. The two of them for the next six months worked 20 hour days mixing, rolling, baking, slicing, bagging and delivering "When Pigs Fly Bread" trying to keep up with the demand. Within two years, they purchased a lot of land and built a bakery that can be expanded upon if needed.


The bread is all natural with no added fats, preservatives or dairy. Even though they bake over 8,000 loaves on busy days the baking process hasn’t strayed from the 1st batch of 80 loaves baked 6 years ago. All 15 varieties are mixed from scratch each day using unbleached flour milled to our specifications. All other grains and flours are organic. Onions are roasted, potatoes are peeled and olives pitted on a daily basis. Today there are 45 employees working almost around the clock to get you the freshest bread possible.
