Deerfields Gluten Free Bakery is located in Illinois, but thankfully, for those of us that don’t live in the Illinois area, their products are available online.  (They are also available in select stores in other states.)  They will ship their gluten free baked goods right to your front door.  All items are baked in a gluten free oven, and no gluten flours are store on premises.

The bag itself  is made from a black water and stain resistant, easy to clean rip stop nylon fabric.  The seams are completely finished so the crumbs don’t get stuck in the bag. You can rinse these…
