Alvarado Street Bakery

worker-owned bakery

Alvarado Street Bakery

Industry Food

A worker-owned bakery selling organic breads and baked goods, with employee ownership, food-production labor control, and grocery distribution. Alvarado Street Bakery scores well because ownership is comparatively aligned and governance has stronger accountability than peers, and no current penalty outweighs that structure.

Why this matters: Worker-owned food production is a useful structural contrast to large food companies.
