Uprising Breads Bakery has been baking its great tasting, multigrain breads and honey-sweetened goodies for over 30 years now. We did our growing up in the 1980s and '90s as people were becoming more and more aware of the benefits of healthy food choices. Bread, in particular, was experiencing something of a renaissance.
The demand for 'breads of substance' made with all natural ingredients was on the rise. At Uprising Breads we never have, and never will, use preservatives or artificial anything in our baking. And we always have, and always will, sweeten with honey, molasses or nothing at all. We look for every opportunity to offer healthy choices without compromising those small indulgences that a terrific bakery can offer.

We all know that one of the easiest ways to reduce our impact on the planet is through the three-R's: Reduce, Re-use & Recycle. With the help of Climate Smart we measure our carbon footprint, offset our greenhouse gas emissions and put in place practices to reduce our emissions.
When deciding to replace old equipment, we always consider the energy consumption/efficiency of our new equipment options and chose those with the lowest impact on our planet's atmosphere.Next time you drop by our bakery cafe, ask us about our Free Grounds For Your Garden. Coffee grounds make great fertilizer and are a valuable component in the compost pile.

Then there's lunch. Our soups are made on site using our own stocks and fresh local produce when available. We make 3 different wraps and a variety of cold-cut and vegetarian sandwiches on our own breads; everything is ready to go - or sit down and stay awhile. There are salads as well as hot items like samosas and Jamaican patties.
