Bread by the month

Pay once at the start of the month and your loaves are baked for you every bake day. A month is four bake weeks. In a month with five Fridays, the fifth is a week off. Away one week? Tell us, even on the day: if someone else buys your loaf, you get back what you paid for it. Cancel any time by letting us know; it stops at the end of the month you've paid for.

Hi, I'm Brynnley

Why I bake

I started with one jar of starter and a lot of flat loaves. Now I bake every Friday in our farm kitchen, one Dutch oven at a time, and every loaf goes out with my name on it.

Why the flour matters

The whole wheat loaf starts with organic wheat grown here in Saskatchewan, milled at home in small batches and blended with white flour.

Before you order

Is this an inspected kitchen?

No. Saskatchewan lets low-risk foods like bread be made and sold from a home kitchen. Every loaf carries the required label: "Made in a home kitchen that is not inspected by a government agency", with the bake date.

What goes in the bread?

Classic: white flour, water and salt. Whole wheat: whole wheat flour (milled at home from organic Saskatchewan wheat), white flour, water and salt. The starter is just flour and water too. Both loaves contain wheat and gluten.

They're baked in our family kitchen, where plenty of other food gets made too, so I can't promise a loaf is free of traces of anything else. If you have a serious food allergy, a bakery with an allergen-controlled kitchen is the safer choice, and I'd rather you be safe.

How do I pay?

By card, through Stripe, billed once a month. Your spot is held from the first payment, and you can cancel any time by letting me know. Single loaves are sold at pickup when there are extras.

What if I'm away one week?

Let me know as soon as you can. I'll try to sell your loaf to someone else, and if it sells I'll refund what you paid for it. If it doesn't, it stays on the shelf until pickup ends and then it's gone. The earlier you tell me, the better the chance.

Do you deliver?

No. Every order is picked up at Our Latest Hobby Farm, near Pike Lake, on Fridays from 4 to 7 pm. You get directions with your order.

How long does a loaf keep?

Three or four days on the counter, cut side down. It freezes well for a month: slice it first and toast from frozen.
