Janet McFarland and Natalie Kelly emailed that they get it at Whole Foods Market, John Bisci Sr. found Bob's Red Mill brand in a specialty section of the baking aisle at Smith's, Marie Jones suggested www.BobsRedMill.com (or call 1-800-349-2173) and Suzanne Atfield spotted it at the Entenmann's/Oroweat bakery outlets at 2548 Wigwam Parkway in Henderson and 5191 W. Charleston Blvd. ...
