Francis Bread

Nestled in the heart of Salt Spring Island, BC, Francis Bread is a haven for bread and pastry enthusiasts. This charming bakery is dedicated to crafting artisanal breads, pastries, and sandwiches using only the finest ingredients, sourced with care and integrity.

At Francis Bread, the commitment to quality starts with the grains. All their whole grains are grown organically in British Columbia and milled fresh every few weeks in Cowichan Bay by True Grain. Their pastries are equally exquisite, made with high-quality, high milk fat, grass-fed butter from New Zealand.

The bakery’s all-purpose flour is sourced from organic farms in Saskatchewan. To complement their baked goods, Francis Bread uses organic BC milk, cream, and yogurt, along with local island goat’s cheese and organic aged cheddar from Quebec. This dedication to quality ingredients shines through in every bite.

Francis Bread’s lunch offerings are just as thoughtfully curated. They source organic produce, prioritizing local island farms whenever possible. Their meats are pasture-raised, and their cured meats come from a five-generation charcuterie producer in the Lower Mainland, ensuring a savory and authentic taste.

Francis Bread is more than just a bakery; it’s a celebration of good food, community, and sustainable practices. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, a visit to Francis Bread is a must for anyone who appreciates the art of baking and the taste of fresh, wholesome ingredients.
