Back then, Lanthier was one of four bakeries in Alexandria that sold fresh bread and pastries door to door. The way bread is sold has definitely changed, but the bakery is still a family-run business. And [Lanthier Bakery](http://bettybread.ca/history/) has grown over their 87 years of [manufacturing baked goods](https://blog.ontarioeast.ca/the-connection-between-cooking-shows-on-netflix-and-food-manufacturing). Lanthier Bakery is now one of the largest independently owned commercial bakeries in eastern [Ontario](https://blog.ontarioeast.ca/could-ontarian-cuisine-make-it-on-netflix-shows-about-cooking). Lanthier products include [Betty enriched white](http://bettybread.ca/betty-enriched-white-bread/) and whole wheat bread, sandwich and crusty breads, sandwich buns and rolls, and specialty breads too. Their baked goods are sold all over Ontario and Quebec. ## What’s Great About Working at Lanthier Bakery? ### At Lanthier everyone is treated like family ![null](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/zIoV2EXrQMcVr3b2DEmLiNp8rIN0DJMg4nyiZcKJdK65pTrvd72WTrWZM7oIfiCCj4W8v9kfs1Acma5LjArlw_kphmCw4-Gc-LqFmHIYoVkkoL7mwXAACbi-ydepGvG4v-g-7cG9)This helps employees feel part of the success of the bakery.
