Becky & David Shepherd have lived in Brunswick since 1981, where they are bringing up four children, ages 4 - 21. They have owned and operated a small business since graduating from the University of Maine, and they are involved with the community. Becky has served on the Brunswick school board and volunteers a lot of her time to the community in a variety of ways. As business owners, Becky and David donate both time and money to community-based projects on both the local and state level, especially in the realms of education, the environment and individual health and well-being.
Louisa Edgerton, our manager, has been with the bakery since 1997, and brings us 20 years of food service experience. She grew up in Gorham and East Boothbay, studied in Spain for two years, and graduated from the University of New Hampshire. Louisa spent several years working in Utah and three years in the Peace Corps in Poland, teaching English, before moving back to Maine. She loves sailing, gardening, knitting, entertaining and being outdoors. Oh, and she has cats...

We encourage open communication and involve the staff in decision making and leadership opportunities.
Frank Golek started working at Wild Oats Bakery on Halloween, 1996. He is the longest lasting employee here, and is very proud of this distinction. Frank is immensely helpful with prepping vegetables and washing dishes, and he is a very diligent cleaner!
