Alternative flours for holiday baking
Most recipes for holiday baked goods call for plain, white flour. But we encourage you to experiment with PCC’s vast selection of alternative flours — in packages or in bulk, many gluten-free.
Holiday baking with alternative flours
Do you have a favorite, traditional holiday sweet? Try substituting a bit of amaranth flour or coconut flour for a little of the white, all-purpose stuff. It will add flavor and texture, not to mention some nutrients.
Year-end giving
Consider donating to the PCC Food Bank Program and the PCC Farmland Trust for their worthy efforts.
Measuring success
Read about how a land trust measure success – with the most visible yardstick being acres preserved and, by that measure, PCC Farmland Trust has had a banner year.
