“Bien Cuit's beautiful breads and pastries have been a favorite of ours for quite some time,” Elly Truesdell, local forager for Whole Foods Market’s Northeast Region, said in a press release. “Upon learning about the bakery’s support of transitional farmers, it immediately became apparent that we needed to find a way to work together and bring their fantastic products to our stores. It’s amazing to launch a line of products that support both farmers and organic expansion — not to mention, they’re some of the most delicious pastries around!”
