One of the newest vendors that we’ve had the pleasure of partnering with is Local Loaf. Nestled in the heart of Okotoks, Alberta, Local Loaf stands as a testament to the art of traditional sourdough baking. Committed to using the finest organic ingredients sourced from local farmers, this bakery offers a range of breads that not only satisfy the palate but also support the community.

At Local Loaf, the philosophy is simple: create bakery-quality breads with confidence and creativity. Their breads are made in the traditional way, without the use of commercial or brewer’s yeast, allowing the natural flavors of the grains and wild yeast native to the region to shine through. ​

The small details are important. Local Loaf uses non-iodized kosher salt with no anti-caking agents, and doesn’t use any vegetable or seed oils, additives, flavour enhancers, or preservatives. Just natural ingredients.

You’ll be stretched to pick a favourite product. Loaf categories include: Standard, Wholegrain, Savoury, Fruit, Sweet Loaves and more! Among their selection, the Everyday Sourdough Loaf stands out as a bestseller. Crafted with just three ingredients—local organic flour, purified water, and kosher salt—this loaf pairs well with a variety of dishes, from dips and bruschetta to sandwiches and charcuterie. ​
