History

Established in 2011.

Throughout the centuries, grain afforded humanity with the Staff of Life. Taking the form of naturally leavened bread, a long-​lasting biscotti, or a dessert cake made with available fruit and sweeteners, wheat in addition to other grains, such as rye, oats, barley, corn, and rice, made significant contributions to human development. In modern times, though, the identity of whole grains and the use of the bakers’ hands have been replaced by a highly mechanized, fast-​paced, profit-​driven process that requires an abundance of unnatural ingredients. Not only has the trade been neglected, but also the real flavor of bread and pastry has been lost from contemporary taste buds. For the price of unnecessary efficiency and unhealthy ingredients, the people have been deprived of a natural, local, and wholesome food founded on a collective heritage.
