Our story

A Wakefield bakery for over a century.

The bakery opened in 1908 as Ormes, and it has been a fixture of the village ever since. Through wars, winters and the slow rebuilding of a small Quebec town, the ovens never stopped.

Jennifer and John took over in 1996. They kept the original scratch baking processes and the recipes that built the bakery's name, and they have been turning the lights on before sunrise ever since.

What you taste today is made the same way it was made when the bakery first opened. Real butter, real ingredients, made by hand.
