As of September 2025, our bakery has been an inspected kitchen with the Food Establishment Permit. We operate under Nova Scotia and the Food Safety Regulations. Q. Do you make a gluten-free bread? A.

It has no preservatives and is meant to be enjoyed fresh. It will stay fresh for 2-3 days at room temperature. However, this time can be reduced to 1-2 days in summertime due to higher temperatures and increased humidity. Store your bread in a paper bag, bee-waxed cotton or linen bag, or bread box. Q. How to revive stale bread? A. Simply sprinkle it with water and heat it in the oven at 375F until crunchy. Q. Can I freeze the bread? A. Yes, freeze bread in a sealed bag for up to 6 months. Slice it before freezing for easy portioning. Frozen sourdough is proven to have more benefits. Freezing sourdough bread increases its resistant starch, which leads to a lower glycemic impact, improved blood sugar control, and better gut health. Q. How to revive frozen bread? A. Thaw it in the fridge overnight. Toast it at 375F until crunchy. Alternatively, it can be toasted using defrost settings. Q. Do you offer pre-sliced bread? A.
