Another Big Food etailer posing as down home folks

Hi all,

FYI, just got an email inviting me to a new online site called bakersbodega. What they don't tell you is that it's run by BakeMark, which owns Duncan Hines, among other brands, and sells flours under a dozen different brand names ... same wine, different bottle. Let them at least be honest about who they are.

I know Southern Calif. doesn't have too many ancient grains but do you have something growing nearby you want to promote for history's sake?

The problem is that CA's biggest crop is only legal in a few states. I'm told it makes brownies really come alive, so to speak.

around for thousands of years.  I mean something native to CA and grown as crops:

Buckwheat was the only thing I recognized (ignoring chia) related to breads. It was of course introduced, not native. Should be a good crop for northern CA and higher elevations, not otherwise suited to cereals.

cheers,
