Farmers and Cooks

Farmers and Cooks is a family run business focusing on local organic ingredients. We make seasonal food for markets and catered events. We have a bread program using flour from a local mill called (Groudup) - bread for the people which is a give back program we created helping people in need donating bread to local shelters as well as showing up in times of crisis across the state.
