SF Chronicle - Meet the baker behind Marin’s first gluten-free bakery

t’s been a little over a month since Flour Craft Bakery opened in downtown Mill Valley’s newly revamped lumber yard — in what was formerly a carriage house. And if the early morning rush is any indication, the secret is out.

“We’re seeing a lot of the same faces, and that’s a good sign,” says Heather Hardcastle, 41, who runs Flour Craft alongside her husband, Rick Perko. “We thought we would have more of a ramp-up here, but it’s been a lovely surprise, and also a new set of challenges.”
