​Welcome to
​WillowTree Bread
French Quality Croissant !
Since 2021 we have been using butter that has the same 84% butterfat content as is required in France – a higher standard than in North America.  There is only one creamery in Canada, in Stirling Ontario, producing this type of butter and we bring it in especially for our Croissant & Pain au Chocolat.
We think that the quality of our Croissants comes very close to the same item purchased in France!  
HOW TO FRESHEN UP FROZEN PASTRIES
Hi there! 
​Thank you for visiting the website of WillowTree Bread.
    We own a small hobby farm in the heart of North Saanich on beautiful Vancouver Island.  Charles is a hobby baker and in our micro-bakery he makes artisan bread which we sell all through the year to enthusiastic lovers of Real Bread !
    Our artisan loaves are made using traditional long fermentation methods and organic flours. We are continually looking for ways to improve the quality of our bread and creating interesting flavours to enhance our repertoire.    
    We often use our own pesticide-free farm produce to make loaves such as - Apricot, Walnut & Lavender Loaf; Black Olive, Garlic and Rosemary Focaccia; or Tuscan Herb Loaf.
    Also, right here on the premises, we stone-grind Canadian grown organic Red Fife wheat which makes extremely tasty and nourishing loaves.
    In the summer we supply North Saanich Farmers Market with Pain au Chocolat and Croissant which Charles makes from scratch.  This type of pastry is a special passion for Charles and the results are mouth watering!
    We sell our bread by a pre-order email system which means that there is no waste and folk get exactly the bread they like from the week's menu!! 
    If you are interested in trying our bread please see here for more information.
Thank you!
Charles and Gillian
