History
My mother (Debi Thomas) started the bread baking business in the basement of Saluda's Orchard Inn, baking fresh bread for the Inn guests. When the demand for good, wholesome, whole-grain breads increased; the Wildflour Bakery was born. Years later, the cafe was added. All of my many brothers and I grew up in the business. As it is now, Mom is still master baker, supplying several groceries, restaurants and Inns in our area and, of course, the cafe, with the the best bread you'll find anywhere. I now run the retail end of the business with my baby brother producing our beautifully delicious pastries. Mom always told us growing up that we should never serve a customer something that we wouldn't serve the family and thats the standard that our team still hold tight to.
