Pure Pastry chooses to use Bob's Red Mill® ingredients as the building blocks for our naturally organic gluten-free confections. Bob's Red Mill® is a brand produced by Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods located in Milwaukie, Oregon. The company was established in 1978 ~ dedicating itself to manufacturing natural whole-grain foods in a traditional time-honored way.
Bob's Red Mill® Natural Foods produces lines of natural, certified organic, and gluten-free milled grain products. They have over 400 products, primarily whole grains that are ground by 120-year-old quartz millstones. This cool stone grinding process preserves the grains’ valuable oils and nutrients.
We use as many certified organic ingredients as possible, use only the highest quality non-organic natural ingredients, and choose to bake with Bob's Red Mill® in our gluten-free pastry.
Proud to also have discovered the beautiful Gluten-Free Flour at ArrowHead Mills: Arrowhead Mills "Nourishing Your Family since 1960", for 50 years they take great pride in stating that "more than half of organic food lovers from coast-to-coast count on our naturally enriched simply made products to nourish themselves and their families." Their story has its roots deep in the Texas Panhandle, where Frank Ford—a pioneer in organic farming—founded the company half a century ago. He believed that pesticides & herbicides polluted the food chain, so he set out to farm organically grown corn and wheat. He ground his harvest into flour using a stone mill—which is still in use today at our facility
We select ArrowHead Mills gluten-free flours in an assortment of our naturally organic confections.
Russell Orchards Farm Store & Winery: Located near and dear to us in Ipswich, we purchase with apples, peaches, pears, plums, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, zucchini & butternut squashes, pumpkins and more from Russell Orchards Farm. We are also blessed to obtain honey from their farm. The farm is 120 acres, family-owned and operated since the first tree was planted in 1920. It is held in an agricultural preservation restriction that prevents the land from being turned into a development.
Russell Orchards Farm protects their crops via IPM, which stands for Integrated Pest Management. "IPM is a sustainable approach to managing pests by combining biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools in a way that minimizes economic, health, and environmental risks." (National IPM Network).
