OTTAWA NUT-FREE BAKERY

The Piggy Market’s baking department started out of a need for nut-free products, as one of our owners has an allergy.

We started with breads from other companies, and letting people know they were not nut free, but then could not use them in any of our own cooking without compromising everything else we do.  So, we started experimenting with breads.

A typical week in our baking department: Honey buttermilk white bread, Honey whole wheat bread, White sourdough, Rye sourdough, Butter tarts, Banana bread, Bake at home frozen scones: cheddar OR raspberry, Honey oat cookies / chocolate chip cookies, Raspberry pies.

This, of course, led to cookies and muffins, cinnamon buns and brownies, and it never seems to end…  Soon, we were hiring bakers to keep up production. As soon as this happened, we branched out and started offering our baked products for wholesale.
