OUR BREAD
Our Organic Breads
Our love for bread is kneaded in every loaf we craft. Each has its own unique story rooted in a century-old tradition of using simple, honest ingredients such as flour, salt, water, and and slow fermentation. Our artisan bakers masterfully blend organic live cultures and time-honoured techniques, taking meticulous steps from dough mixing to hand moulding, proofing, and baking, to craft loaves that are nothing short of perfection. Our artisanal process extends to locally sourced organic ingredients including blueberries and cranberries from Pitt Meadows, making each loaf a celebration of the flavours and agricultural richness we’re eager to share with you. One of the best things about living in Canada is that everything has two names: we still have miles and kilometres, English and French. We took that message to heart with our bread with both a traditional name and a flirty name

Our organic whole wheat sourdough combines a Napa Valley Sourdough culture with the goodness of organic whole grain wheat. See why this is the loaf most suited to be your partner. Yum! Sandwiches, please!
Three’s Company (Roasted Garlic & Cheese)
We roast whole cloves of garlic slowly, so the garlic is nice and sweet; mix the whole cloves into our sourdough and then, just before it goes in the oven, we stuff it with Gouda, Cheddar and Monterey Jack. As it rises in the oven, the cheese spills all over the top. This has been known to disappear before dinner is served. Fair warning.
Birds and the Bees (Whole Grains and Honey)

Baked with love, our baguette is always a crowd-pleaser.
Sleepless in Seattle (Pecan and Flax)
We need to warn you to be careful about who you eat this with because, well, like in the movie, you’ll fall in love. This richly moist loaf is a breakfast favourite, toasted it’s incredible. With your homemade jam, even better.

Olive You Forever
Rich, ripe Greek Kalamata olives stud this naturally leavened bread. A Bread Affair’s leaven, with a mixture of whole grain and unbleached white flour, creates a delight for bread lovers. Perhaps this is the bread that inspired our slogan that “good bread is best served naked ”.
