Description:
We are an organically driven/ non GMO full service brick and mortar bakery concept A large segment of our business will be selling our Artisan breads wholesale. to the likes of Whole Foods, restaurants, Bristol Farms, and more. The principals had a wholesale pastry business before putting our retail concept together, and we sold to Whole Foods Market as part of their Southern Pacific Region.
My production manager has been baking Italian bread and every other kind of bread since he was a teenager in
Upstate New York. he learned from Sicilians who didn't even speak English. He learned enormous bread production in his thirties which is something that no artisan bread baker learns for the most part.

I am Rebecca Kapsis the Owner/CEO, and Executive chef. I am from Chicago where I was in the Gourmet Food business at 20. While putting together "Hearth and Soul" I was the Private Chef for Five years for the lawyer who is the President of The Patrick Soon Shiang Foundaton, and who made the deal to buy The Los Angeles Times.
Food and people are my passion. They deserve the best bakery ever created. The plan is to open the first bakery and slowly move into several areas in Los Angeles, and then New York, Chicago , and beyond.
