LittleLittle Stream Bakeryis located in the Upper Ottawa Valley on transitional land at the edge of the Canadian Shield. We are a small business with environmental integrity and pride ourselves in hand crafting each loaf. With our recent expansion and relocation to a renovated dairy in the hamlet of Glen Tay, near Perth, we are now able to complement our staple line of breads with a variety of rustic pastries.Now in our sixth year of operation, we continue to receive many letters and phone calls from our customers saying how much they enjoy our bread. Our baked goods are available in fine natural and fresh food stores and are served in several select restaurants throughout Ontario and Southern Quebec. Please call, write, fax or e-mail for the stores closest to you.Where is the Little Stream?beck: noun (N. Engl.) -Brook, mountain streamGraham Beck, founder of Little Stream Bakery, chose to use a North American form of his English name for the bakery. We subsequently adopted the stream from the original bakery site as a symbol for our extraordinary commitment to organic farming and wholesome foods. The gentle and forgiving manner in which a stream erodes its bed signifies slow and consistent change. We feel our holistic approach helps us offer a serious alternative to industrial food.stream Bakery

How to Store Bread

Some simple guidelines for serving and storing little stream bread

YOU MAY NOTICE FROM time to time there may be a variation in the colour, flavour or texture of our breads. This is a normal reflection of seasonal change and the subtle differences in the natural processes involved. As in many hand-crafted products - no two loaves are exactly alike.

Store in a cool, dry place. Refrigerating will prolong shelf life, but some of the delicious flavour and texture is lost.
We put holes in our bags to allow the bread to breathe.

Our bread freezes very well - just use an additional freezer bag and seal tightly. Buy sliced bread if you plan to freeze it and wish to take only a few slices at a time.
For the best eating we recommend that you buy your bread unsliced as it helps maintain the original moisture content.
Our bread has a 7 day "best before" sticker. This date is calculated from the date of baking.
