Millstone Bakery in La Salle is getting more statewide publicity.

The bakery, recently recognized by Gov. JB Pritzker’s Illinois Made Program, will be featured on PBS’ “You Gotta See This” series, which highlights businesses.

Bakery owners Erin and Kent Maze were interviewed for the program.

“We love talking breads, pastries and coffee, and showcasing our amazing team,” according to a post on Millstone Bakery’s Facebook page. “Stay tuned for details about when [the PBS program] airs.”

Millstone opened in downtown La Salle in 2022 and was named part of the Illinois Made Program in November. Additionally, one of its bakers, Anna Harmon, was selected as a finalist in the Greatest Baker competition, an event featuring the best bakers from across the U.S.

The program is expected to air in January, but the exact date and time is not yet known.
