Our Mission.

Our mission is to connect community and ecology through gastronomy. This means that we take the responsibility of representing the local farmers and other producers who entrust us with the fruits of their labor very seriously.

It also means that we put their products in front of our customers with only the greatest care, respect, patience, and attention. Bellegarde takes pride and pleasure in representing our producers and our community. By committing to a standard of excellence with our bread and flours we ensure the integrity of a full and circular value chain: we firmly believe in supporting and using identity preserved ingredients and in the imperative of direct markets. Value should be kept where value is produced.

Our mission ensures that we work towards something greater than personal success: we seek to work towards the long-term sustainability of landscapes that contribute to our community’s health in innumerable, invaluable, and irreplaceable ways. Our methods reflect our message: BELLEGARDE actively promotes the integrity of flavor and traditional methods through our focus on authentic hand-crafted bread.
