True Grain Bread

True Grain Bread is an old world-inspired European bakery where the craft of the Miller and Baker are honed and cherished. Their passion is creating fresh, local, organic handcrafted bread, and connecting the farmer to the miller to the baker to the community.

Since first opening their doors in the sleepy seaside village of Cowichan Bay (2004), True Grain Bread strives to deliver an unparalleled bread experience. Day in and day out, they aim to be a beacon for unbelievable breads, true from-scratch baking, organics, sustainable business practices, farm to table partnerships and community engagement. 

At True Grain Bread they believe that people today are disconnected from their food. Totally. Not only where it comes from, but who grows it, how it is processed, packaged, preserved and shipped. Take it a step further, how are we fundamentally changing our food, from hybridization to genetic modification to adding chemicals at every stage? This is particularly concerning for the next generation.

Their philosophy is to connect the farmer to the miller to the baker to the community. To handcraft organic bread and other baked goods the way it is supposed to be done. And to educate people about why it is so much better tasting, better for them and better for their community.

In 2012, True Grain Bread opened a store in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in downtown Summerland, followed  more recently by their third location in downtown Courtenay.  

Today, True Grain Bread bakers continue the tradition of old-world style baking: early morning mixing of dough made from freshly milled organic ingredients, hand-scaling and carefully forming each individual loaf.
