Local Matters
For several years now, we have worked closely with wheat grower Billy Carter of Carter Farms in Pinehurst, NC and miller Jennifer Lapidus of Carolina Ground in Asheville, NC to replace all of the whole wheat and rye flours used at La Farm Bakery with these locally grown and cold-stone milled, organic, heirloom flours.There’s no better way for us to share our gratitude than by creating breads made with flour that’s grown and milled right here in North Carolina.
