Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company and Grass Roots Prairie Kitchen acknowledge that we are located on the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Dakota, and Ininiwak. We would also like to acknowledge the other First Nations such as the Anish-Ininiwak, Dene, and Nehethowuk, who gathered at this ancient site sharing these lands and waterways. We acknowledge that we are on the homeland of the Métis and are grateful to the First Nations of Treaty One who agreed to share this beautiful prairie land, giving us the opportunity to cook and bake for you.

EARTH DAY CANADA –
APRIL 22 & EVERY DAY
The 2024 official theme is “Planet vs. Plastics”.

Earth Day is an event which is celebrated annually on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protection.

First held in 1970, it now includes a wide range of events coordinated globally by Earthday.org, involving 1 billion people in more than 193 countries, making it the largest participatory environmental movement on the planet.

Earth Day Canada is reminding people that Earth Day is Leg Day – citizens are being asked to skip the car, to save the planet. The word is – bike, walk or bus to work and you could win an e-bike, transit passes and more.

How the story
of Tall Grass began...

We opened Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company in Winnipeg’s Wolseley neighbourhood in 1990. The foundation of Tall Grass has always been based on baking with heritage varieties of organic wheat, grown by Manitoba farmers, milling our own flour and baking from scratch.

More than 30 years later, there are two Tall Grass bakery locations: one in Wolseley and the other at The Forks Market, along with Grass Roots Prairie Kitchen.

We use Red Fife wheat in our bakery, a tasty, nutty ancient variety. It joined Spelt, another ancient grain, known for its low glycemic index and lower gluten content. As bakers in the land where we live and work, we consider it an honour to bake with these two ancient grains.
