Christmas at True Grain

It’s been an amazing year! This year True Grain celebrated 15 years and a million handcrafted loaves. We’re excited to share our new seasonal menu with you and let you know that for the first time ever, all our Shortbread and Stollen are available to order online. Order early so we can get your favourites to you in time for Christmas. Thank you for supporting craft baking and organic BC farming.

New for 2019:

• Stollen – Watch for new sizes of our classic Stollen this year.
• Shortbread family expansion: We’re adding two new flavours – Rosemary Apricot and Red Fife Festive Spice. They’ll join our Classic Shortbread, Chocolate, Cranberry, Butter Pecan and Spelt.
