About GCA Founding Fellows
Live a healthier, wealthier, more fulfilling, passionate and purposeful life.
We want to share that passion with our customers who come far and wide to enjoy the food we have spent sleepless nights thinking up, testing and producing. At the heart of it all is our wood fired oven, her burning light never completely fading, forever keeping the soul alive. She is where it all started, made with antique red bricks collected from all around.
