Here we are fulfilling a dream of of sustainable and small batch making & growing. We believe in food that tells a story, grown with respect for the earth and delivered fresh to our neighbors.

Local Sourcing
Our Sustainability Mission
We prioritize soil health and biodiversity, using heritage techniques that allow all of our offerings from our one and a half acres can continue to flourish and sustain.
We source our flour for our sourdough from a local mill and it comes organic, fresh and ready for us to use, or you to purchase from us for your own home baked goodies!
We are dedicated to living gently on our land by implementing eco-conscious habits by powering our property by solar energy where possible, prioritizing bulk purchasing and using home-grown ingredients to minimize waste. We also utilize rainwater irrigation, encourage the use of reusable shopping bags, and keep our product packaging minimal and environmentally friendly.
“I received gardening advice and design help from Deanna, and now my vegetable gardens are thriving. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and so generous with her guidance. If she can help a novice like me start growing my own food, she can help anyone.”

Cultivating Community
Our weekly sourdough pickup is such a treat; we love the bread, the warm chats, and the genuine heart in every visit. We often grab honey and candles for gifts, and now our friends in Calgary refuse to let us visit without bringing along extra loaves and scones.

The farmhouse sourdough scones/cookies and sandwich loaves have become our family's weekly ritual. Exceptional quality that brings us back to our roots and is such a simple and delicious pleasure. We haven't had store bought bread since we met Deanna!
