Toula Argentis knew she needed to do something to help with her oldest son's severe food allergies. Raised in Montreal, but of Greek heritage, cooking, baking and eating great food was a big part of her life. That's what big Greek families do!
When Toula learned of her son's allergies and found she had ones of her own, her home baking and cooking became "one mother on a mission" to keep she and her family healthy. And it worked! Her son's symptoms disappeared and Toula, herself, regained her health. An idea was born and gluten was not any part of it.
"Mom, this is so good you should sell this stuff!" After Toula heard these words from friends and family repeatedly, 2B Whole Gluten Free European Bakery was born! In 2011, Toula went to her first Farmers Market. Sales and praise were very high...and so it began.
Toula became part of a culinary incubator through Kennesaw State University known as The Edge Kitchen. She tested, perfected and created new recipes. A business plan was written. Chef's were brought on board and trained. Marketing and sales people were hired. After many, many Farmer's Markets and trade shows coupled with social media marketing, the sales outgrew the Edge Kitchen. So where to now?...
On October 27, 2015, 2B Whole Bakery opened in Alpharetta, GA, in the burgeoning business district. Our retail and wholesale business is thriving. As one of the very few establishments offering Paleo, Vegan and Gluten Free food, Toula and her Team are seeing new customers each day. She and her customers are learning what it means to be whole...at 2B Whole Gluten Free European Bakery.
