Profile Draft
Bonrue Bakery — known until May 2025 as Farmstead — opened in St. George in 2021, founded by Chris Connors, Li Hsun Sun, and Chris Herrin to bring European-style viennoiserie to the region. Herrin passed away months after the opening, and Connors and Sun have run the bakery since. In 2025 the brand rebranded as Bonrue and announced an expansion north into the Wasatch Front. The pastry program — laminated doughs, kouign-amann, tarts — is the differentiator.
For 435 Alliance, Bonrue is a strong listing: founded in St. George, multi-state expansion under way, and a recent rebrand the register can help disambiguate.
