Graison Gill is the owner of Bellegarde Bakery, founded in 2013 in New Orleans, LA. Graison has been baking professionally for over eleven years and was trained at the San Francisco Baking Institute under Mac McConnell and Frank Sally. For Graison, bread is more than a business or hobby: it's his passion and his identity.
Going against the grain, Bellegarde stone-mills organic and heirloom grains to bake into each and every loaf of its bread and pastas. Traditional techniques combined with identity preserved ingredients produce flour, pasta, grits, pastries and breads that are rich in flavor, passion and history.

Our Name
Report
The name of our bakery comes from the first recorded bakery in Louisiana. Founded in 1722 by Francois Lemesle, the first Bellegarde opened its doors in the French Quarter on the corners of what were to become St. Ann and Chartres Streets. Although the bakery did not last more than a few years, its presence contributed to the great culinary tradition of New Orleans.
Bakery Menu
Report
Our corn has been grown in Baldwin County, Alabama by the same family since 1875. This corn is heirloom; no one in the entire world grows this variety. It harvests into a gorgeous kaleidoscope of colored kernels which cook and bake beautifully into flavorful, healthy grits. Serve with Gulf shrimp for the perfect dish.
Subscription Service
Report
You can purchase the weekly subscription and then choose the day you'd like to pick up. Instead of a basket, we'll be giving you a beautiful and roomy Bellegarde tote (which you'll return with each week) to accommodate fresh and delicious items for the bakery. Your bag will include a rotation of your favorite Bellegarde breads, pastas, pastries and flours.
