Bernice's Bakery is a long-standing Missoula landmark business; since 1978.  We strive to provide quality baked goods, excellent service and the warmest of inviting atmospheres.  Bernice's reinforces the ideas of good food and community in everything we do.  By good food we mean:  properly prepared, quality ingredients, reasonably priced.  By community we mean:  helping others, friendly service, ecologically & agriculturally conscientious.  We strive to meet the needs of the present while considering the impact on future generations to meet their own needs.  Our purchasing dollar is spent carefully with consideration to good food and community.  In an era where food is becoming chemistry, Bernice's will continue its success by focusing on raw, natural, sometimes organic and local ingredients to create its product.

Sustainable Practices, Products, & Services:

Bernice's focuses on re-use of any and all building materials when adjusting its workspace for efficiency.  Bernice's purchasing dollar is spent with other local businesses first when at all possible.  Coffee grounds are picked up weekly (MUD) and used for composting locally.  A recycling shed has been outback of Bernice's for over 7 years and we strive to purchase recycled paper products for any and all packaging.  Bernice's is largely heated by the ovens that bake our product and energy efficient lighting is used in most fixtures throughout the bakery. Cleaning products are environmentally friendly.

Time & energy is spent routinely educating staff about their role in sustainability; both for the environment & for the work culture.  Staff, additionally, is given group buying power by being able to purchase goods through the bakery from a variety of sources.  Most of Bernice's staff walks or bicycles to work.  Bernice's donates to Missoula in Motion yearly in their efforts to promote alternative transportation and donates routinely to additional organizations whose focus includes sustainability issues.
