In celebration of Bella Bean Organics' expansion into SC, owners Holcomb and DeMent will host a tasting at The Gin Joint in Charleston, SC June 23rd, from 3pm to 5pm.

Vatinet will sample 10 crusty European breads, all of which benefit from a 3-day fermentation and use NC
grown and milled heirloom wheat. (www.lafarmbakery.com)

"We are farmers, says Jamie DeMent, who with her partner, Richard Holcomb, are the owners of Bella Bean Organics.

"We've been curating a list of farmer partners and producers for the entire decade we've been farming. And we couldn't do this if we didn't understand seasonality. We are inside the system and understand it."

Just what is this, you ask? It's something that we're very excited about, so much so that we included it in this print issue's Where to Shop section.

"If you crossed your local farmers market with Fresh Direct, Bella Bean Organics is what you'd get. Owned by North Carolina farmers Richard Holcomb and Jamie DeMent, Bella Bean delivers sustainable meat, dairy, and produce from more than 50 farms in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland, plus enough dry goods and pantry items to stock your entire larder, door-to-door. The virtual shelves are packed with everything from baby lettuces to Anson Mills Heirloom Popcorn to fresh-baked breads from Lionel Vatinets La Farm Bakery to top-shelf mixers such as Bittermilk and Jack Rudy Cocktail Co. Need shampoo? Soap? That's available, too. And the selection is always expanding as new products become available, thanks to the duo's extensive network of producers and growers (when they had trouble locating a sufficiently delicious, sufficiently regional source for vinegar, DeMent just kept asking around until she stumbled upon a couple of varieties from Virginia Vinegar Works)."
