"Artisan" bread is now a trendy product in the marketplace. The word "artisan" conjures up images of bakers of yore stirring, then pounding large lumps of dough, cutting them into pieces and shaping them by hand - perhaps laying them out on discs of stone to bake in the sun, or carefully placing them in a brick oven fuelled by a wood fire.

"Artisan" means hand-crafted, moving away from factory automated baking - kind of going backwards to move forwards, to be "of the auld way." This is what we've been doing at Trillium since Day One. We create our own recipes and hand-craft our breads and other specialties.

Progress often means "untouched by human hands." We are somewhat backwards in time in many of our baking procedures. "Touched by human hands" (clean, with love and caring) is what we do for you when we mix, roll, knead, shape and decorate our prideful creations, which we've been doing for 33 years.
