Big things take time.
Just ask Steve Horton. He’s the baker who created and ran Rustica bakery in Minneapolis for 11 years, receiving national attention for his world-class baked goods. In March 2015, just as he was nominated for the third time for an elusive James Beard award, Horton bowed out, with no known destination. Bread lovers were on the edges of their seats.
Last spring, Baker’s Field was a dream. And ambitious dreams, like great bread, can’t be rushed.
When he left Rustica, Horton had some big ideas about how he wanted to do things at his next business.

The slogan there is “Farmed Near, Made Here.”
