The place is Boulder, Colorado.
And the vibe is impossibly groovy.
It’s in this setting that our founder, Sheldon Romer, opens a small bakery named after Rudi Swami Rudrananda, a 20th century spiritual leader. (Boulder in the 70s, am I right?)
The shop’s vision was simple: When you combine the best-possible ingredients with traditional expertise, you’ll have craveable, nourishing baked staples that keep customers coming back again … and again and again and again.
Rudi’s Organic Bakery is nearly 50 years old, and boy, have we seen things. We’ve experienced the launch of the first at-home personal computer, the launch of MTV, and the Pet Rock. We’ve endured flare, pleated, high-waisted, low-waisted, skinny, and — mercifully —baggy jean styles.
Heck, we’ve been sourcing organically grown ingredients long before the USDA Organic certification even existed. And we pioneered the importance of totally gluten-free facilities so that everyone can enjoy a good sandwich.
It’s been a wild ride, and we’re thrilled that you can join us on this delicious journey.

partnerships
childhood nutrition
Here at Rudi’s, we are committed to promoting childhood nutrition because we strongly believe in nurturing the health and well-being of the next generation. We have been a family focused company for years, and plan to continue the tradition of putting families and their health first in all that we do.
While developing our recipes, we always have inclusivity in mind. We want everyone to be able to join in at the table, so we have made it a goal to provide options that avoid allergens, like gluten.
But most importantly, we view our mission as more than providing tasty treats we are focused on creating a positive impact on young lives. Our partnerships further our goal to ensure that families have access to wholesome nourishing options.
