Farmer Direct Foods Expands Distribution With Scavuzzo’s Partnership

Farmer Direct Foods and Scavuzzo’s Inc. are proud to announce their new partnership that will bring high-quality artisan baking flours to Scavuzzo’s foodservice and retail customers across the country. Scavuzzo’s, a Kansas City based independent broadline foodservice distributor, will begin carrying Farmer Direct Foods’ flours, which are made with wheat sourced directly from Kansas farmers.

“We’re excited to partner with Scavuzzo’s to bring our artisan baking flours to even more food industry establishments in places like Chicago, San Antonio, Cincinnati, and everywhere in between,” said Tim Webster, Chairman and CEO of Farmer Direct Foods. “Our flours are made from high-quality Kansas wheat that is grown by multigenerational farmers, so this partnership is truly a celebration of Kansas agriculture.”
