EARTHBOUND BAKERY

If you haven't yet been into ( or heard of) Earthbound Bakery..well, you are missing out ..and so are your taste buds....just pull into the Strip Mall on 8th next to Manos and literally follow your nose to Earthbound..right up next to REMAX.

Depending on the time of day you go, it will be either busy with the breakfast or lunch crowd (the coffees, soups, pastries and sandwiches are delicious) and you may find it tricky to get a seat, seating is limited as the bakery itself is so large...or at other times you will see the shoppers coming and going with brown paper bags bursting with some of THE most delicious breads you have EVER tasted.The waft of warm bakery air hits you as you enter the place....and seriously every time the Trusted team is there we see people buying 3,4,5 loaves at a time ..unable to choose which one bread they want ..instead they choose ALL of the ones that they like the sound of....and if you could smell the bakery you would understand why...I challenge even the most ' anti-carb' protein only eater to go in Earthbound and not drool!!

Here is an excerpt from a fine local blogger Penny Mckinnley who shares her experience:        

"It has become a Saturday morning ritual FOR MANY TO to visit the Earth Bound Bakery at 1820 8th Street East (next door to Mano’s restaurant). What better way to start your weekend than with a chewy, crusty loaf still warm from the oven and maybe a croissant for lunch? When I learned that the owner, Trent Loewen, had started serving fresh sandwiches at lunchtime, I had to visit. Trent says that he designed his store to be really open so he could visit with customers. Even better was to offer soup and sandwiches for lunch – “I like conversation and seeing people enjoy food,” Trent explains. I’m all in favour – lunch was great. Andrew and I both had housemade hummus with sprouts and cucumber on hemp and sesame bread. I had a bowl of roasted beet and potato and green lentil and fresh dill soup, while Andrew had curry chickpea, cauliflower and summer squash. I had a mini chocolate cupcake for dessert, while Andrew had a pain au chocolat. Every bite was delicious. Certified Organic and Local Almost all the ingredients Trent uses are certified organic and grown in Saskatchewan. And he buys all his ingredients from just two suppliers. The L’Oiselle family farm near Vonda and Bob Balfour of R & J Milling near Riceton grow, mill and deliver the grains, seeds and lentils. “There is nobody in between,” says Trent. “I like to maintain that conversation with the local producer and support them.” Variety is the Spice of Life There is always something new on offer at Earth Bound. Trent bakes new varieties of bread most Wednesdays and Saturdays. There’s a new variety of bread today as well – oatmeal flax-bran sourdough with prunes. “That’s for my regulars,” jokes Trent. (I bought a loaf, and it was deliciously moist with a crunchy crust and big chunks of fruit.) “I make new products as often as I feel inspired,” says Trent. “That’s why I’m in business for myself – so I can do what I want, what my customers want, and set my own standards.” Trent woke up from a dream about making croissants with reduced red wine butter. So he set about blending the wine and the butter ready for the next day’s croissants – some with blue cheese, some with walnuts, maybe some with both. They’ve come a long way from the early days at an outdoor stall at the Farmers’ Market.  Trent was a chef before he became a baker, and he hopes to open a restaurant someday. I’ve promised I’ll be one of his first customers. Won’t you join me? And, in the meantime, please go buy me a croissant with reduced red wine butter and blue cheese and walnuts. Or a fresh sandwich. Or a mushroom and sharp cheese croissant. Or . . . ."

EARTHBOUND BAKERY is loved by their regular clients, and when we surveyed many of them as part of the Trusted Verification process they had some wonderful things to say about Trent, the Team and oh yes..that bread ( which by the way you can always try before you buy...) !

Check out their listing here in our SASKATOON CATERERS and BAKERIES category to read those testimonials for yourself and if you have yet to visit you should really go in personally  to see what all the fuss is about ......and our suggestion is that you buy a Croissant and a loaf of Apple beer bread ...then post on our Trusted Facebook page what you thought! You see we promote the BEST other directories just list the rest!  

Stay Trusted my friends ..SAFE AND TRUSTED of course
