Bakery Worker & Conrad Christensen

Dan & Robin Christensen

Our Bakery Today!

   Working as an apprentice baker in the King's palace of Copenhagen circa early 1900s, Conrad Christensen began his business of baking. Joining the ranks on a freighter in 1911, "Connie" (as known by his friends) worked his way to the United States in search of better possibilities. Landing in Askov, Minnesota, Conrad started his very own bakery, the Askov Bakery.    Norm, Conrad's son went into the Navy and soon returned afterwards to follow in the footsteps of his father. Norm, who had no intention to bake, found that soon before his arrival home, Conrad had purchased a new oven!
   Now, Dan (Norm's son) and Robin Christensen are continuing their family traditions in Cannon Beach, Oregon. Dan and Robin have recently opened their new bakery in a much upgraded and much larger new building known as the Coaster Village.
