Authentic French Bakery in Cary, NC | La Farm Bakery

I ate some of one their French baguettes sold by Whole Foods and it was awful. It would bring people into the streets with protest signs if a French boulangerie were to offer something like this, in my view!

I’ll give you my mailing address but be assured I’ll be using none of them unless you can explain the rationale for the name of this product – Quinoa Penne – when quinoa is listed as the third ingredient? More specifically, exactly what percentage of the product is quinoa?

I was about to buy this product http://www.earthlychoice.com/pasta.html when I looked at the ingredients. You call it Quinoa, but that is the third ingredient after rice and corn. What percentage of the penne is quinoa?

Best North Carolina Baguette

Just beginning this. So far, I would not put the Weaver Street Market French Baguette in the running. The bread is too white and there appears to be too much salt.
