Celebrating
Easter and the season of spring
We know how busy you are during this spring
season, and we can help out! Choose from our
specials and regular favourites to share at your
gatherings with friends and family. Come in to
place your order in person at any of our locations
or simply call us. Select from a number of
delicious choices, including these customer
favourites:
- Easter Saffron Bread
This gentle tasting bread with a
beautiful braided texture will complement your
holiday table setting. Made with our organic
flour, the dough is mixed with raisins, saffron
and a lovely hint of orange.
- Tall Grass Fruit Bread
When you add fruit to a delicate, light
organic bread dough there is a sweet simple
harmony that blesses the senses. Enjoy the taste
of cranberries, raisins, traditional fruit peel
and fresh oranges.
- Hot Cross Buns
These spicy, fruit laden and delicious
buns are an ancient British tradition marking
the Vernal or Spring Equinox. Eventually these
buns were absorbed into the Christian faith and
a cross on the top was added. Hot cross buns, in
conjunction with a prayer, were thought to
protect the family from fire, rats, accidents
and shipwreck. Insurance that tastes good.
More specials are available throughout the Easter
season at Tall Grass Prairie Bread
Company, Grass Roots Prairie Kitchen
and Baba's Tall Grass Pantry.
If you can't, we

Try Baba’s Steppe Sandwich
Nitrate-free
and $4.25
Baba's Tall Grass Pantry Steppe Sandwich, named
after the grasslands of Eastern Europe, with a nod
to the Canadian prairies, is nitrate-free!
In selecting a local sausage-maker, we insisted on
avoiding the nitrates many of us are concerned
about. A delicious combination of Manitoba pork
and beef along with flavourful spices make these
farmers' sausages special. Nestled on a fresh
organic bun from Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company,
you may want to garnish your Steppe Sandwich with
caramelized onions, sauerkraut, ketchup and
mustard, which are all house-made, plus a pickle
from Grass Roots Prairie Kitchen.
Delicious on its own, you can also choose to make
it a Steppe Meal, complete with potato
wedges or buckwheat, and then choose from a salad,
coleslaw, or a 6 oz. bowl of steaming hot borscht.
Yum!
