Hi Tom-
Welcome to northern CA.

Try Joe Artim, owner/baker Grateful Bread, 2543 Fair Oaks Blvd,
Sacramento (916) 487-9179. I'm "know" Joe thru the Bread Bakers Guild
of America list. He's a very nice fellow and would be happy to talk
flour with you I'm sure.

The Giusto mill is a 3 generation family operated company in SF also
very nice folks. www.giustos.com

Small amounts, Trader Joe's in Sacramneto sells 3 kinds of King Arthur.
The AP is $2.79/#5.

FYI there are several home brick oven folks in the Sac area if that
interests you.

Good luck- Marylouise
SF bay
