So I came across this description of another small bakery I recently discovered, this time in Antrim, NH, on their About page. They made their description of a bakery both educational with regards to the flag leaf on a stalk of wheat while at the same time highlighting their place in the grain chain. Stuck out to me a being pretty clever and descriptive.
With the understanding that the flag leaf is the last leaf on a stalk of wheat before the grain head, and a bakery is the last link on the grain chain before the consumer, it is important to remember that the flag leaf could not have gotten up there without the leaves before it gathering the energy for the plant to mature. In our case, we are being held up by the grain breeders, wheat farmers and flour millers that have allowed us to do the last bit of work to share the fruits of all our labors with you, our hopefully happy customer.
