If you’ve been dreaming of the perfect crust and crumb, you'll be happy to know that Roman from Brød - Baddeck is back at the market! Brød crafts exceptional, naturally leavened sourdough breads and buns right here in the heart of Baddeck. By focusing on simple ingredients and a patient, slow-fermentation process, they let time do the work to develop deep flavour, incredible texture, and distinct character in every single loaf.

Don't miss your chance to grab some fresh, artisan baking. Be sure to stop by his table this Saturday before it sells out!
