The Story
Baker's Field Flour & Bread was born from Steve Horton’s experience founding and growing Rustica Bakery. Working with flour every day to craft a variety of artisan quality breads gave Steve an appreciation for fresh flour’s fundamental role in good bread. And with that appreciation came awareness that good flour is hard to find, even in The Mill City.
That’s why Steve partnered with Kieran Folliard at FOOD BUILDING to start Baker's Field Flour & Bread. With their combined vision and experience, Baker's Field is returning stone milling to the Mill City, and baking naturally leavened breads right here in Northeast Minneapolis. Our region grows an incredible variety of grains, so it just makes sense to mill those grains into flour in our hometown.
FOOD BUILDING
FOOD BUILDING is also the home to Red Table Meat Co., a whole-hog salumi business.
These businesses are connected by a "taste of place". Simply put, Minnesota's distinct seasons and savory characters combine to make one-of-a-kind foods.
FOOD BUILDING offers self-guided tours every Tuesday through Friday from 11am to 5pm, in order to invite customers to see where their food is made and who is making it.
Private tours can also be arranged by emailing: Info@FOODBUILDING.com
