Prairie Boy Bread recently opened at Yonge and St. Clair, signalling the completion of a project that was two years in the making.
First announced back in January of this year, owner Grant MacPherson had originally hoped to open the new shop by April 2021.
“This location has been a long time coming and we know you were in it with us every step of the way,” reads a recent post on Prairie Boy’s Instagram page.
Having officially opened on Sept. 24, the new Prairie Boy still offers all of the classics, like the Sammy Bread in white or multi-grain, as well as a few new feature loaves. Available for sale now until December, Prairie Boy has partnered with Blood Brothers Brewing Company to create a beer bread. The loaf uses just five simple ingredients (organic bread flour, water, Blood Brothers beer, sourdough starter, and spent grains) and runs for $8 a loaf.
Prairie Boy Bread is an organic and artisan sourdough bread bakery that sells its products through three retail locations ( as well as through a wholesale program which includes carefully chosen restaurants and business partners.
The bread itself is made through the method of working with high hydration levels, long-ferments, and using 100 per cent organic flour locally sourced primarily in Ontario, but also Canada-wide. Many of Prairie Boy’s flour partners are suppliers from Mennonite communities across Ontario.
Prairie Boy’s newest storefront is located at 1 St. Clair East. Pop by for a loaf or a treat from Monday to Saturday 7:30 a.m.  to 6:30 p.m. or Sundays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
