Please join us for a culinary adventure with baker/chef Eli Je Bailey of Hominy Farm. Those of you who are familiar with Hominy Farm through farmers’ markets and/or at our PopUp markets know that Eli brings his entire self to his bread-centric offerings. Melding his Lebanese + Ashkenazi Jewish background with flavor-forward flours from Carolina Ground, Eli is redefining what whole grain baking can look and taste like. Eli will be teaching flat breads as well as loaves, and he promises to bring a lovely spread of cheeses, dips, olives, etc, for a tasting element to accompany the breads.

DETAILS:

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 9TH. 10AM -2PM

CAROLINA GROUND, HENDERSONVILLE, NC

Elijah Je Bailey is the Head Baker and Owner of Hominy Farm, a sustainable homestead and wood-fired bread bakery in the Hominy Valley of North Carolina. After working in upscale kitchens and bread bakeries in Montréal, Miami, and Asheville for over a decade, Eli was lucky enough to carry on the Farm & Sparrow bake space in 2019, where he would live and create Hominy Farm with his partner Sydney Rubin. Hominy Farm reflects a passion for local grains and produce, natural leavening techniques, and the Lebanese baking & cooking techniques of his ancestors. You can find Eli every week at markets and pop-ups in the Asheville area, where he serves up a variety of wholesome sourdough loaves, Middle Eastern flatbreads, and seasonal hand pies made with 100% stone-milled whole grains and local organic produce from small farms.
