Hello Fuegophiles! Sorry it’s been awhile since we posted, but as we enter a new, exciting year of hope and new experiences, we wanted to share our gratitude for your support by making a special offer to you, our loyal followers and customers. If you have non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), a.k.a. Gluten intolerance, or know someone that does, we have something special for you that could change your life! Disclaimer: if you have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, none of this applies to you (sorry!). Through extensive research and experimentation, Chef D has found a flour that does not cause gastrointestinal upset for those with NCGS. Her first guinea pig was her husband, Chris, who has experienced frustrating problems with US-made bread, pizza, and cookies, despite being able to eat these foods in Europe without problems. Now, thanks to Chef D, Chris can have all the pizza, bread and cookies he wants, as long as they are made with the special flour used by Chef D. And, several of our Fuegophiles have found the same results lately, using this special flour supplied by Chef D. Do you crave the bread, pizza and cookies you once could eat, but have had to avoid for years? If so, we wanted to offer a pound of this special flour free to the first 30 people to request their free flour at www.chrismanmill.com/online-store
You will find the order button by scrolling down to “featured products”. This offer is only available for those who live in Nicholasville, and the Lexington, KY area.
Your order includes free delivery, or you can select a pickup date and time at our new booth at Greyline Station in Lexington. We only ask in return that you cook/bake with the flour, and give us your feedback by response to this post. Thanks!
