PORTLAND, Ore. — December 3, 2010 – The holiday countdown is on! For the home baker, that means there are cookies to swap, gingerbread houses to build, and fruitcakes to bake. To honor those keeping the sweet tradition of holiday baking aglow, Northwest-grown Stone-Buhr Flour is giving away a dozen signed cookbooks by beloved Northwest pastry chefs between December 12 and December 23.
Three copies each of Good to the Grain by Kim Boyce, owner of Golden Oven; The Grand Central Baking Book by Grand Central Bakery owner Piper Davis and Ellen Jackson; Urban Pantry by Amy Pennington, founder of GoGo Green Garden and UrbanGardenShare.org; and Rustic Fruit Desserts by Cory Schreiber and Julie Richardson, owner of Baker & Spice and Sweetware, will be gifted to 12 bakers baking.

For assistance in answering each day’s question, brush-up on Stone-Buhr’s flour and farmers at www.stone-buhr.com.
One of America’s oldest flour brands, Stone-Buhr’s Washington White All-Purpose Flour is the first major flour product to be certified sustainable by Food Alliance. Milled from wheat sustainably-grown and harvested by family farmers in Oregon, Washington and Idaho dedicated to no-till agricultural methods, the Food Alliance certified flour demonstrates Stone-Buhr’s commitment to preserving the health and prosperity of family farms and the environment.
Bakers can track the origins of their Stone-Buhr Flour at the company’s Find the Farmer website www.findthefarmer.com, which allows customers to enter the unique code from the top of their bag of All Purpose flour in order to identify the actual farms where the milled wheat inside was grown.
