Hard Winter Bread Company
Description
Hard Winter Bread Company is a wood-fired, sourdough bakery. We make variety of rustic, handcrafted breads and pastries, with emphasis on simplicity.
All of our food is lovingly made from scratch with natural and healthy raw ingredients. We bring it to you baked fresh each time.
Throughout the 2015/2016 winter season you can find our bread at the Lakefield Pantry (on Queen Street in Lakefield) on Saturday's all day long. As well as the Peterborough Saturday farmers market all year round from 7-1. Please contact us directly through this page or e-mail for whole sale enquiries.
Please note that: we are market and whole-sale based only, therefore there is no physical store to visit.
Best wishes and happy eating,
Jess and Graham

facebook.comValentines Day weekend. We're adding a few sweet LOVE treats to our menu this weekend. Cake for two (likely more!). These 6" chocolate devils food cakes with a chocolate pastry cream and vanilla buttercream. The cakes are available for pre-order, but are limited in quantity. Pick up at the Peterborough market this Saturday February 10th. The cake will keep beautifully refrigerated if you're saving it for the 14th. Email or message us. Pre-payment welcomed via e-transfer. $25 each. We are also making chocolate pastry cream tarts (no pre-orders please, first come at the market). Apple turnovers, cheese cake bars and all of your weekly favourites. Bagels will be available Saturday morning at the market or at the Lakefield pantry. Have a wonderful weekend celebrating your loves or as a great excuse to eat some more chocolate mid-February!
It's with a very heavy heart that we learned about the fire that destroyed our dear wholesale customers Towns & Leahy Mercantile's beautiful store last night. Both the Towns & Leahy families are wonderful and kind people who have been running their amazing shop in the small town of Douro for nearly a year (but run as PG Towns for much much longer than that). They are strong supporters of local food. If you never had the chance to check it out we're sad you missed it. Our hearts go out to them 💛
Peanut butter + chocolate vegan cookies for my guys today. Also, so many delicious and fun goodies planned for this Saturday’s market. Bagels and bread as always. Have a wonderful weekend friends!
Great write up. We're proud to work with community futures as we continue to grow our little bakery.
Fig jam pop tarts this weekend (baked and iced later in tonight 😊). As with all we do, it's 100% made from scratch by us. Also lemon cream tarts are back this weekend as well as chocolate brownie sourdough babka. Yup, brownie bread!
We're out of hibernation! Ready to embrace everything the winter has to offer. Fresh bread today at the Lakefield pantry (a happy mid-week surprise!) and also delivered to Towns & Leahy Mercantile. I love winter baking, trying our some new recipes this week and bringing back some old favourites. New on Saturday: gluten & dairy free chocolate peanut butter tarts. I'll also be working on some apple and spice hand pies. The 'Lumber Jane' sourdough loaf is back this week too. If you haven't tried it yet, its made with apricots, figs, dates, millet and poppy. Mmmmmmm winter flavours.
Back to the kitchen this week! We had a long and beautiful holiday with our two little ones. Got as much rest as you can with a 2 year old and a 2 month old. Happy to be back baking this week, heating up the ovens and getting back into a schedule. 2018 is going to be a great year for us full of all kinds of change and growth. Can’t wait! See you THIS Saturday!
We’re away this weekend and next from our beloved market to rest and enjoy each other post holiday rush. We will be back at the Peterborough farmers’ market on January 13th to bring you fresh bread and tasty treats made lovingly by us. We hope you continue to come to our beautiful market throughout the winter months. We wish you, our community and our market a peaceful and loving 2018. Happy new year friends.
