Job Description
About ThoroughFareWe are building a food system that prioritizes your life over shelf life.
We started as ThoroughBread in 2018, baking minimal-ingredient breads and pastries that quickly grew to tens of thousands of loaves a year. People loved it.

We make everything in-house, fresh every day, and deliver it to our locations each morning. We don't use seed oils, artificial preservatives, colors, flavors, gums, or fillers. It's a new food system built for people, not shelf life.
