Breads

We bake in the old European style using natural starters and slow fermentation. All of our breads are hand crafted and hearth baked daily in our wood-fired oven. The result is a flavourful, artisan loaf. No artificial preservatives are ever used.

The fire is started directly in the oven the night before we bake and allowed to burn for 10-12 hours. The ash is swept out and the floor of the oven mopped. The loaves are baked directly on the hearth creating a superior crust and exceptional flavour. The heat retained in the thick masonry of the oven allows us to bake continuously throughout the day.

Our loaves include the following:

Normandy Apple Bread
A sourdough bread made with organic whole-wheat flour, sea salt, pure well water, Spirit Tree Cider, chopped apples and a touch of honey. This bread is great on its own or with cheese.

Rustic White
White, unbleached artisan bread flour, sea salt, pure well water and yeast preferment.

Country French
A sourdough loaf made with 25% Red Fife whole wheat flour, 75% white, unbleached artisan bread flour, sea salt & pure well water.

 

Pies & Other Baked Goods

Our homemade pastry is made with butter and non-hydrogenated shortening to create a flaky pastry with a rich, buttery flavour. Fillings include apple, bumbleberry, strawberry rhubarb, peach and pumpkin.

Our pies are available baked or frozen for you to bake at home.

We also offer a daily selection of scones, tarts and cookies.
