Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company

 

Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company acknowledges 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.

It's Spring!

Spring is in many ways, the most exiting time of the whole year for all of us. It a celebration of rebirth, the greening power of the universe. It’s a time when we sit-up, take note … the light returns … it’s incredibly precious after the long winter. – Tabitha Langel

 

How to get to
Tall Grass
sur la Seine...
It’s really easy once you know the way!

The bakery is accessible by foot and bicycle traffic, along the sidewalk or following the hiking path, as indicated on the map.
Vehicular traffic may use one of two entrances that can be found on either side of the gas station. These entrance ways merge into a single lane on the right side of the mall, that leads to Tall Grass sur la Seine.
We're just before the corner, after which the lane takes a sharp left turn – and the forest, river and meadow meet.
We look forward to welcoming you to Tall Grass sur la Seine, as well as at Tall Grass at The Forks Market, and our original Tall Grass location at 859 Westminster.
Tall Grass is all about local, organic and made from scratch – taking responsibility for the gifts from our Mother the Earth.

HOT CROSS BUNS - now to April 20
A Tall Grass spring favourite! These spicy fruit-filled delicious buns are an ancient British tradition that marked the Vernal or Spring Equinox.

Eventually they were absorbed into the Christian faith, and a cross was added on top. Combined with prayer, these buns were thought to protect the family from – fire, rats, accidents and even shipwrecks!

BUTTER LAMBS - now until sold out

Many thanks to, Leni, our amazing retired employee who years ago introduced Tall Grass to the butter lamb. It had been a long-standing tradition in her family. This year, with her 100+ year old Dutch butter press in hand – she’s once again made our butter lambs!
Place your order early, as this best seller is often sold out before Easter.

BREADS

Easter Saffron Bread
This gentle tasting soft bread featuring a braided texture is made with our organic flour. The dough is mixed with rum-soaked raisins, saffron and a hint of orange. Often poppy seeds grace the top.

Christopomo Bread
A lovely gift from the Greek Orthodox tradition, this sweet bread is rich in butter and eggs, and flavoured generously with anise. The top is beautifully decorated with braids and whole almonds.

Easter Paska
Paska, an egg bread, is a long-standing Easter tradition in many Eastern-European countries. Typically baked in a specially designed round pan, it is most usually the centre piece of the Easter basket.

Easter Chick Cookies
A delicate butter cookie cut into the shape of a little spring chick, and decorated with chocolate icing. These cute-as-a-button tasty treats are darling to look at, decorate your table - and great to munch on!

For some this is a meal meant to be eaten in the spring. Local lamb is combined with organic and local root vegetables. simmered slowly for hours in a flavourful broth, and enhanced with a measure of Half Pints Stout.
