<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Against the grain of industrial agriculture, truly local bread stages a comeback]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by ruth117 http://www.grist.org/article/2009-05-14-local-bread-comeback/ Thu, 14 May 2009 13:28:09 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/2009-05-14-local-bread-comeback/1 Here in Winnipeg, home to the Canadian Wheat Board and surrounded by thousands of acres of grain land, it is amazing how hard it is to get local wheat / flour. In local supermarkets there is still only two or three brands of flour (typically Five Roses, Robin Hood and Store Brand) It is really sad that even in the "Bread basket of the world" local flour is hard to find. Fortunatly there is hope! A local bakery commited to using grains from its foodshed sources organic grain from local farms (much like Farm and Sparrow) and sells excess for home use. I'm glad for small bakeries like this that are bringing back real, local foods!

P.S. Tall Grass Prairie Bakery (http://www.tallgrassbakery.ca/index.html )also makes the most amazing whole wheat cinnamon buns...yummy!
