Grand Marais, MN
From Wisconsin and living in Minnesota, Caleb would rather have a wood stove than a furnace, and rather bake his own bread than buy it. Those facts have led him to making lots of wood-fired bread and wood-fired brick ovens. Always pursuing old-fashioned foods and lifestyles, he also loves sharpening his tools and fermenting whatever he can find.
