Farm to Market Bread Co. Partners with Farmer Direct Foods for Flour Supply

We are excited to announce our new partnership with Farm to Market Bread Co., a Kansas City-based company that has been producing handcrafted, artisanal bread for nearly 30 years. This new collaboration highlights our shared commitment to quality and supporting local farmers.

At Farmer Direct Foods, we are proud of our deep connections to the Kansas farming and milling industry. Our network of multigenerational Kansas wheat farmers has developed a proprietary process that traces our wheat through every step of the farming and milling process – from field to flour. We specialize in regeneratively-grown whole wheat flours that are naturally nutritious and sustainably sourced.

“We are thrilled to partner with Farmer Direct Foods. We share the same values of supporting local farmers and sourcing sustainable, traceable ingredients. This partnership will allow us to continue producing the high-quality bread that our customers love, while also strengthening our commitment to the local food community.”

John Friend, CEO of Farm to Market Bread Co.

Through this new partnership, we will supply Farm to Market Bread Co. with our hard red winter wheat, hard white wheat, and stone-ground rye flours. By doing so, Farm to Market will be able to trace the flour in their bread back to the field where it came from, setting themselves apart as one of the few commercial bakeries that can do so.

This partnership allows us to continue supporting our farmers while also expanding our reach to the broader community. Together, we can create a more sustainable, traceable, and delicious food system for everyone to enjoy.

“We are excited to partner with Farm to Market Bread Co. and bring our regeneratively-grown whole wheat flours to their delicious bread,” said Farmer Direct Foods VP of Strategy and Sales Hayley Eckert. “We are proud of our deep connections to the Kansas farming and milling industry, and this partnership allows us to continue supporting our farmers while also expanding our reach to the broader community. Together, we can create a more sustainable, traceable, and delicious food system for everyone to enjoy.”

We’re thrilled about this partnership and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on the Kansas City food community. Stay tuned for updates on how we are supporting our farmers and creating a more sustainable future for all.
