We introduced our sandwich thins/rolls this week.  In our popular Homestyle white, Sugar Cane - a whole wheat one, and our 12-grain version. These are great for so many things.  My oldest likes to make one into a breakfast sandwich to take with him on his way to high school (teenagers!), my two grade school littles enjoy using them for their lunch time sandwiches.  I like to split one open and slather on a bit of fresh butter & local jam.   Mmmm-good!  My hubby can be found just nabbing one on his way out the door, and eats them plain (each to their own).  My littlest munchkin like hers split, filled with grated cheese & then put on the panini press, she can also be found coving it with jam & whip cream, or other sandwich fillings.

In the coming weeks we will be bringing back our Harvest Struan, a lovely multigrain bread made with local grains.  An old Scottish traditional fall Harvest bread with a Maritime twist.

We are also working on some other sweet treats getting ready for Thanksgiving and (dare I say it) Christmas.  Right now, our house is still busy with the Back to School however we always have one foot pointing forward looking at what's the coming season will bring.
We look forward to seeing you at the Halifax Seaport Farmers Market soon.

The trip also gave me a great chance to think about what kinds of things I want to do with my business.  As my business is a reflection of who I am, I want to be able to offer the things that I would like to see available.  This means locally made products.  Locally produced ingredients where possible.  Green packaging options.  Reusable packaging option where possible.

We are going to be changing our labeling a little bit to allow for bilingual labeling.  This change in labelling will allow labels to be potentially reused.  We will be removing our ingredient lists from the label, however we have always prided ourselves on our transparency when it comes to the ingredients included in our breads, and will still continue to make those ingredients lists available to you.  We will always have a "binder" at the market with the lists.  We are also going to be transitioning our website here, so that you will be able to get the ingredient list, simply by clicking on the appropriate recipe in the sub menus of the Menu.

In doing this sometimes it means changing a recipe or source for an ingredient I am using.  As I have had many customers concerned about the use of refined sugars in products (not just my products, but those available in general), we had switched to using organic cane sugar in place of our refined white sugar the beginning of September, and starting this week have eliminated all refined brown sugar from our products as well.

We are proud to produce products that only have organic cane sugar (sourced through a ethical local company), maple syrup (produced here in Nova Scotia), Maple sugar granules (produced in Nova Scotia), honey (produced here in Nova Scotia), and Molasses (produced in New Brunswick).  The only refined sugar we are still using is icing sugar.  we will continue to look at alternatives to the refined icing sugar, however at this time have not found a suitable alternative for our yummy icing sugar glaze.

If you would prefer to have your sticky rolls without the icing drizzle to avoid the refined icing sugar please let us know & we would be happy to prepare them un-iced for you.  In the meantime I will be working with my organic cane sugar to perhaps create a clear glaze that can be used in the future.

If you find a product that still lists brown or white sugar you can be assured they no longer contained these sugars, they will instead contain organic cane sugar.  It may take us a little bit to get all our labels fixed up.  Feel free to point out the error so that we may fix it up.  We appreciate your patience while we transition to a more healthy offering.

Thursday December 24th from 10am to 2pm.  Deadline to get your orders in is this Monday December 21st.

We will have a small amount of products available on the table for those who do not pre-order,

however you will take your chances of what will be available.  Best to pre-order to guarantee you get what you want!
