Learn about Varda Haimo’s shift from craft baking sour dough to building up her own commercial kitchen – Bread Obsession bakery!

Varda Haimo started Bread Obsession in her kitchen in 2013, after a six-year self-taught apprenticeship with unlimited help and inspiration from professional and home bakers. Seeking a wider range of customers who would appreciate the full range of her breads, she expanded the business, bringing in business partner Joan Forman – a fellow bread enthusiast and baker – and setting up shop in a commercial kitchen in Waltham, Massachusetts. Now staffed with additional bakers and support personnel, they sell bread to stores, restaurants, and farms in 15 towns, and directly to customers at local farmers markets.
