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.

TALL GRASS LOVES PUMPKINS
Meet our pumpkin farmer!
Stephane Berard
Among this year’s Tall Grass pumpkin taste treats, you will find pumpkin brownies, muffins, cookies, and of course pies!
 
Stephane Berard is delivering 4,000 pounds of heirloom pumpkins to Tall Grass from his farm just west of Notre Dame de Lourdes. There are the staples of the pumpkin patch – Sugar Pie and Sweet Meat Blue. A newer variety – Jarrahdale Blue. And two first timers – Orange Australian Butter and Connecticut Field.
 
It’s Jeanne, Stephane’s mom, a long-time figure in market gardening, who chooses the variety of pumpkins. That’s the secret of really good pumpkin pie, as Stephane sees it. “It’s the mixture of the different pumpkin types that make wonderful pies,” he says.
 
May the Blessing of the Harvest be shared by all.

Breads & sweets

Harvest bread – flavourful and satisfying

This vegan, oil-free bread comes from an ancient tradition of West Scotland. It is made with organic unbleached white flour, as well as organic Red Fife, and Spelt. It celebrates the season with a cornucopia of the prairie harvest, including corn!

Multi-grain and regular baguettes – combine crusty and soft

These breads along with many of our other year-round favs such as sourdough, wild rice, whole wheat multigrain and dinner rolls are always perfect for guests, or a quick sandwich.

Deep dish pumpkin pies – are just the start

From famers’ fields, this local and / or organic fall fruit is pressed, and made into delicious deep dish pies right on site. Also available pecan, apple and prairie fruit pies. A deposit is required on returnable pie plates. Thank you for keeping us tinfoil free.

Pumpkin brownies, muffins, cookies – more sweet choices

For those who believe a little pumpkin should be an ingredient in most everything, place your special orders now! The Wolseley bakery is making pecan pumpkin brownies. Both bakeries are doing pumpkin muffins and cookies. Wolseley pumpkin cookies are vegan.

Appetizers, pickles, soups, perogies, prepared meals

Crackers and dips, pickles on the side – wonderful pairings

Serve crunchy crackers with our savoury dips as family and friends come together. Try Hummus or Baba Ghanouj, two protein-rich vegan delicacies. Home style dill pickles are a great accompaniment, or choose other pickles from our shelves.

Soups, perogies – excellent starters / mains

Tall Grass soups are amazingly flavourful. During the fall consider some of our heartier selections such as beet borscht, split pea as well as turkey & roasted red pepper harvest, and more. Selections rotate. Choose between cheddar potato and cottage cheese with dill perogies. Sold frozen.

Prepared meals – oven ready to heat and eat

Our heat and eat choices include vegan, vegetarian and meat varieties. There’s chickpea & potato stew, mac & cheese, Half Pints bison stew, or creamy lemon turkey, to name just a few. Our reach in fridges are stocked. Also check out our website for dish details.
