I'm from Saskatchewan, so the words prairie and pioneer bread get my attention. I drive within 1km or so of Prairie Mill regularly but have never made the effort to swing by until last week. I have been missing out.
I wandered in on Wednesday and was offered a sample of bread. They had a few kinds available as per the weekly schedule (check the website) and I chose Apple Cheddar. I nearly fell over when I was handed an entire, super thick slice. Who does that?! Most places offering samples are stingy, but not here. I was really excited (because I love to eat) and helped myself to the dish of butter they have sitting nearby. I never thought I'd pay $6.75 for a loaf of bread, but being able to enjoy a large slice and truly appreciate it is what sold me. Then there was no way I was leaving without a loaf of Apple Cheddar bread. They earned their money alone through generosity, never mind their insanely delicious baking.
As mentioned by Lindsay K., it is a simple bakery. They specialize in bread but do have a handful of other items. For me, this will be a future grocery stop for when I want to impress company. In addition, as a sole proprietor myself, I'd much rather support this business than a franchise. I'm excited to have started my frequent buyer card.
