Markus Schramm is the Founder and CEO of Manna Organics, LLC, a fully organic certified producer of a full line of sprouted breads and artisan Bavarian sourdough breads Although Manna Organics is a fairly new company, the Manna Bread line was acquired from Nature's Path Foods and has been marked with great success. But Markus does not do this all on his own; he calls on the help of his family member, Shanti Schramm, CFO, to help in the successful operations of their business.

Many of the ingredients that are united to create a loaf of Manna’s famous “Sprouted Bread” are purchased from Sustainable Foods of Chicago. Manna does this because “it’s the only sustainable way.” The “Sprouted Bread” comes in 10 varieties, which is sold through UNFI, Tree of Life and other wholesale markets, including retail and other outlets. Soon, you can also buy this one-of-a-kind bread directly from the bakery through the Manna website.

Why have you chosen to produce your products?
It’s the best, healthiest bread. Sprouting makes the grain easily digestible, unlocks vitamins and minerals, and we use the whole grain. Nothing is stripped off.

What is your favorite part of being an organic producer?
Making something with love and care, which is good for you, the planet, and all. A dedicated team of bakers - we call ourselves the Manna Family - puts a lot of effort into making each loaf a perfect blend of organic whole grains, fruits, nuts and seeds.

What makes your products special?
We use only organic ingredients. We sprout wheat and rye and by crushing it into a dough, adding only organic fruits, nuts, and other seeds to It. Our unique bread is salt free, unleavened, high in fiber, contains no flour, no fats, no oils, no added sweeteners. It is also yeast free, and has a low glycemic index. Because we bake the bread at very low temperatures, it stays moist inside, more like a cake then a regular bread.

Most importantly, it tastes delicious - like cake that's really, really good for you.

Why did you choose this path?
Organic is the only sustainable way.

Where do you want your business to be in the next year? Five years? Ten years?
Sustainable growth until everyone eats Manna bread!
