About True Grain
“Imagine a world where the artisanship of the baker, the fragility of our planet, the integrity of the organic farmer, the strength of community and the simplicity of real food are valued and nourished.” – True Grain Vision
At True Grain, this is the philosophy that guides everything we do. For us, it’s all about reconnecting people with their food. Since first opening our doors in the picturesque seaside village of Cowichan Bay in 2004, we’ve poured our passion into creating the very best local, handcrafted, organic bread and pastries (and cookies – we make delicious cookies). Over time, our bakeries have become destinations for bread lovers living in and visiting beautiful British Columbia.
