We’re a small local bakery that specializes in sourdough bread. We offer many flavors and ingredients in our bread, but all our bread is sourdough, meaning it’s naturally fermented and we rarely use commercial instant yeast. It’s also all hand-mixed and hand-shaped, which is quite unique.
We don’t have a brick and mortar location, so we just sell at farmer’s markets and offer subscriptions with delivery service in the local Twin Cities area.
My goal is for the bakery to become a worker’s cooperative or something more socialist in its economic structure. We’re very committed to worker’s power and solidarity with other working-class organizations. Thus the name! Uprising isn’t just a brand. It’s a vision for the future.
One more very unique thing about our company is our staff. We’re a queer, people of color, and woman-led company, and that’s an important part of our identity as a company. Our company is diverse because our community is diverse, and because the working class in this country is diverse. Those are the kinds of people who should be in charge of things, starting with our workplaces.
