Bellegarde Bakery started as a one-man operation, with a baker who brought an intense, sometimes fiery focus on Old World craft. Graison Gill developed his business around fresh milled flour and built a following among top New Orleans restaurants and many artisan baking aficionados.
Now Bellegarde is beginning a new chapter, one under employee ownership.
Gill has sold ownership of Bellegarde to a group of five employees, who now run Bellegarde’s employee advisory board.
Gill has left New Orleans for London, where he plans to run a forthcoming bakery.
