Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company and Grass Roots Prairie Kitchen acknowledge that we are located on the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Dakota, and Ininiwak. We would also like to acknowledge the other First Nations such as the Anish-Ininiwak, Dene, and Nehethowuk, who gathered at this ancient site sharing these lands and waterways. We acknowledge that we are on the homeland of the Métis and are grateful to the First Nations of Treaty One who agreed to share this beautiful prairie land, giving us the opportunity to cook and bake for you.

Vínaterta

Thank you to the Icelandic community for this delicious treat. We are especially grateful to Carri and Signi as well as their Amma (Grandma), for gently teaching us their time-honoured family recipe. Available with or without icing.

Christopomo Bread

An ancient bread from the Greek Orthodox heritage, rich in butter, eggs, honey, and anise. Decorated with almonds. A distinct, delicious flavour.

Northern Festival Bread

Starring celebratory cranberries! A dense festive bread made around Christmas. The goodness of fall grains, seeds, apples, roasted corn make a savoury sweet loaf.

Baguettes

Regular & multigrain. We follow the European lead – our baguettes are long and crusty, with a soft, yet substantial texture. So shareable.

Braided Tall Grass Fruit Bread

When you add fruit to a lovely light bread dough, and then braid it, the result is a sweet simple harmony that blesses the senses. A grand bread. Heavenly toasted.

Croissants

French inspired. Choose from classic, cheese, ham & cheese, chocolate, almond or cinnamon versions. C’est formidable! Choices do vary.

Tall Grass Fruit Cake

Fruit and nut laden – ours is a traditional cake! Fruit aged in rum or brandy and fresh cider before being baked. And, yes, it’s wrapped in cheese cloth!

Special Seasonal Cookies

Mocha Kisses: A delightful blend of butter, chocolate, coffee and sugar
Russian Tea Biscuits: This royal shortbread creation is made with butter and crushed pecans
Hazelnut Chocolate Dreams: Indulge guests in this rich buttery hazelnut cookie dipped in chocolate
Florentines: It’s amazing what happens when you combine chocolate, candied orange peel, and almonds.

Assorted Pies

Our deep dish pies ensure no matter the size of the slice, it is always thick, and scrumptious! Choose from apple, pecan, prairie fruit, pumpkin and rhubarb strawberry. Varieties change with the blessings of the seasons.

Check highlight box at the top of this page for other items, including the availability of Heat & Eat meals, as well as Tourtière.

King’s Cake (Galette des rois)

Starting January 6 and continuing for the entire month, we celebrate this French tradition of the Middle Ages. A ‘treasure’ is baked into this cake. The finder is crowned King/Queen for the day. Celebrates Epiphany.

Holiday baking continues until January 7th in recognition of the Orthodox calendar. Make certain to place your orders, should you be celebrating this tradition.
