Asheville Artisan Bread Festival

What a couple of weeks it has been! After having a great time sharing about Super Sprout™ at the International Bread Symposium (read about that here), we did a more in depth presentation with Chef Peter Reinhart of Johnson & Wales at the Asheville Artisan Bread Festival to a packed crowd of bread enthusiasts. We got to meet tons of awesome bakers and reconnect with old friends at one of our favorite events. We also attended a workshop with Weaver Street Market where they made great pretzels with our Super Sprout™ Sprouted Flour. We introduced some new products and really enjoyed the wood fired pizza! Asheville never disappoints, so read on to find out what went on!

On the Rise: International Bread Symposium

JandCOTR Joe and Caroline were excited to present at "On The Rise²"during the International Bread Symposium in Charlotte at the end of April. Their presentation, "Baking with Sprouted Flour: The Next 100 Years," was focused on Super Sprout™ Sprouted Whole Grain Wheat Flour and its benefits for bakers and consumers. The conference was well attended by around 200 professional, home and student bakers.

Weaver Street Co-Op Fair

CarolineandJon We greatly enjoyed attending the Weaver Street Co-Op Fair last weekend! We were able to meet many of the Weaver Street co-op owners and talked with some of the other local vendors. We were SO excited to see all of the pan breads and pretzels made with our 100% Organic Super Sprout™ flour. Our thanks to Jon and Stephan and their team in the bakery at Weaver Street for all their hard work testing and baking to bring these great products to the Co-op!

Customer Appreciation: Sarah Owens at BK17 Bakery

In February we were so excited to have a visit from one of our favorite bakers, Sarah Owens of BK17 Bakery in Rockaway Beach, NY. Sarah is the author of Sourdough and more recently, Toast and Jam, both great books with easy to read recipes for home baking and jam making. We tried out both her sourdough rye crackers and miche recipes from Toast and Jam and they were big hits! Read more about our bakes and her visit...
