The goal with the “Farm to Fabulous- Chef Tasting” dinner is to serve the best locally-raised foods available: vegetables harvested in season by local farmers who care [...]

Flour Girls are Bikers today

A group of friends from Alpine, UT rode their bikes to Flour Girls & Dough Boys Artisan Bakery and Cafe yesterday for fun and exercise and a healthy meal.
