The official Dancing Deer Baking Company Blog

My name is Beth Wald and being the Director of the Dancing Deer Mother’s Day Ride is my dream job.  I’ve been on board as Director since mid-February and have been having a blast!  Don’t get me wrong, it has been a lot of work, but all very rewarding and fulfilling.  When my sister heard about the job, she called me immediately and said, “this job has your name written all over it.”  I’m an outdoor enthusiast who has ridden my bicycle 3500 miles from Portland, Oregon to Flagstaff, Arizona, ran a homeless family program for the City of New York prior to moving to Boston, have run the Boston Marathon to raise money for charity and know what it means to push your body for a cause you believe in, and founded and operated a company that made a real difference in people’s lives. 

Since arriving at Dancing Deer in mid-February, the Dancing Deer team has welcomed me with open arms.  They are great group of people producing a great product in a company that has a real social conscience and the goal of making a contribution to the world.  If every company were like this the world would be a very different place, and you can be sure that the economic fallout that we are all experiencing would never have happened.


This project is a real labor of love for me and brings together so many things that I believe in and have worked for in my life.  Trish is an amazing person, doing an incredible thing for a cause she is completely committed to during the worst economic crisis of our lives.  As excited as I am for the Ride to start, I already know that I am going to be very sad when it is all over.
