The Origins of Red hen baking
Red Hen Baking Co. was established in 1999 in Duxbury, Vermont by husband and wife team Randy George and Eliza Cain with the goal of baking and delivering fresh bread to local stores 7 days a week. With the immense support of our community, Red Hen now employees a staff of over 50 and has expanded to include our own cafe in Middlesex, VT. We still bake and deliver freshly baked, organic bread 7 days a week to coops and independent grocery stores and restaurants across Vermont and New Hampshire.

We simply wouldn’t be here without the community support that we have gotten from day one. Like any good hen, we feel a responsibility to do what we can to nurture the community that has nurtured us.
