Rosa Dixon had just co-founded a bakery in Arcata. The bakery was a byproduct of her family's food allergies because "we just weren't able to eat anything that tasted good." But when a one-line email said "Are you interested in selling to Whole Foods?" she was skeptical. A decade later, the bakery's gluten-free products are in over 3000 stores nationwide, and, as Dixon will tell you, it took a village.
