Baked with Care, for People & Planet
Caring for the planet isn’t a trend for us, it’s how Alvarado Street Bakery has always done business. As an employee-owned cooperative, we believe good food should nourish people, strengthen communities, and respect the earth. Sustainability has always been part of our ethos.
-
Solar Powered
Since 2010, our bakery has been partially powered by the sun. We've been able to generate more than 4.6 million kWh of renewable energy since installation. We are reducing our reliance on the electrical grid, one loaf at a time. -
Reducing Waste
We keep good food out of landfills by donating bread to food banks & diverting surplus to animal feed programs. In 2025, we donated over 31,000 lbs of bread to a local food bank, supporting our community & food system. -
Certified Green
We’re proud to be a Certified California Green Business, meeting rigorous standards for environmental responsibility. Caring for people & planet go hand in hand, a belief that guides everything we bake.
