Rise Up! #57: Jennifer Lapidus

May 15, 2019

Jennifer Lapidus has made a huge mark all over the Southern USA baking scene. A baker and former bakery owner, Jennifer is the founder of the Carolina Ground mill and a leading advocate for bread wheat production in the South. She's also one of the lead organizers of the famous Asheville Bread Festival.

In this episode, Mark tries his best to keep up with everything going on in Jennifer's life. They also talk about her early days as a baker, apprenticing with the legendary Alan Scott, the generosity and camaraderie of bakers, how the rise of new stone mills all over North America is a very good thing, and what she's got planned for early 2021.
