1817. Anna and Jon-Olof started a bakery
Jakobs Karin the elder taught the secret of crispbread to her daughter Jakobs Karin the younger. Who in turn taught it to her daughter Anna.
1929.
Anna Karlsdotter, Karin’s daughter helped with the baking on the farms in the village and also sold bread to the Touristhome in Leksand. Anna was an enterprising and talented businesswoman. In 1929 she started a Crispbread bakery with her husband Jon Olof (Jon-Olle) Olsson.
The first bakery is a very simple facility with a wood-fired oven in a converted outbuilding on the farm where they live. The very first bread is a Spiscrispbread, slightly coarser than today’s crispbread.
Together, Anna and Olle had five children who all started their working life in the bakery.
1942. A new time and a new name
After a fire destroyed the entire bakery, Jon Olof handed over management to his son Martin. Martin had worked in the company since his youth. He started his career by building a new bakery on a plot strategically located land near the railway and with its own water supply. There is an underground water vein with fresh and clean spring water.
Baking in the bakery almost doubled that year and Martin marked the beginning of a new era by changing the name of the company from J.O Olsson’s Spisbrödsbageri to Leksands Knäckebröd.
