We have so many allergen friendly bakers and options!
A couple years ago I was diagnosed with a corn allergy (amongst other allergies) that flipped my life upside down. Finding out that corn is in so many things from food & drinks to cosmetics & personal care products, to cleaning supplies made me recalibrate how I was going to live the rest of my life. And while I was cleaning up my diet to remove corn, I learned how mutilated corn has become to create artificial flavors & artificial sweeteners, even showing up in "natural flavors". It also shows up as preservatives, in liquid dyes, and the list goes on.
The goal with Baking Harmony is to serve the minority of us with corn allergies while also giving regular people a way to cave to their sweet tooth with less guilt about what they're putting in their body.
I get the majority of my organic ingredients from Azure Standard, which I've never had a reaction to. They've been a life saver for me since stores in our area don't have as many options that are safe for me.
And since The Barn & Basket Market opened, I've been able to get things that are safe for me too, and the best part is I get to support local people!! And I'm starting to incorporate some ingredients from vendors into my baked goods.
Anyway, just thought I'd share that with y'all
