Lyman Orchards, known for its fruit pies, donuts and other baked treats, has moved its baking operations to New Haven.
The Middlefield-based business needed room to grow its wholesale bakery business, according to Gary Jalbert, president and CEO.
In December, the business purchased two manufacturing facilities in New Haven, one at 724 Grand Ave. and one at 240 Sargent Dr., also known as 106-108 Food Terminal Plaza, for $3 million.
Workers started baking at the Grand Avenue location in December, and at Sargent Drive this week, the company announced.

Farm life is cyclical: Plan, plant, harvest.
Community Supported Agriculture programs otherwise known as CSAs help farmers with the planning part, while allowing supporters to share in the harvest by paying up front before the season starts.
Think of it as an investment in a local farm.
“CSAs have proven to be a great way to reintroduce agriculture to local communities, while doing so with increased transparency,” said Gary Jalbert, president and CEO of Lyman Orchards.
“I believe that consumers have an increasing desire to know where their food products come from, and CSAs provide them with that knowledge.”
