It counts nearly 2,000 bakers, millers, farmers, and suppliers among its members. Its mission is to strengthen craft baking through education, training, and community. Founded in 1993, the year Macrina opened, the Guild emerged just as the artisan-bread movement was gaining steam and more Americans were discovering the joy of fresh bread.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Running a bakery is challenging, and the Guild\u2019s support gave Macrina founder Leslie Mackie a welcome boost. Leslie served on the board from 2012 to 2015. In 2024, Scott accepted a three-year seat on the board \u2014 a nod to the industry\u2019s regard for Macrina.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/de864b61-f15b-94df-1062-0626deb6b7fd.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2738\" height=\"2054\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/de864b61-f15b-94df-1062-0626deb6b7fd.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5465\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Guild ties have helped Macrina surmount the challenges of growing into a multifaceted bakery while preserving Macrina\u2019s artisan standards. A strong internal culture, rooted in supporting and developing dedicated employees, still drives the quality that first defined Macrina.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott says, \u201cAs we have grown over the years, we have visited bakeries all over the country \u2014 most of them through connections with the Bread Bakers Guild, which is such a great resource for all of us. Any Guild member who wants to come and visit Macrina is welcome.
