  • Super quiet, scenic location which helps to make it feel like the perfect escape, yet it’s just minutes from great golfing and the hot springs.

  • Wilder Lodge was just like we were in Italy. Every day we had a new Italian dish, pasta, focaccia, kombucha plus an Italian appetizer tray which included Italian cheese, olives, pickled eggplant which were flown in from Italy 🇮🇹

ITALY, HERE WE COME 🇮🇹 As many of you know, sale ITALY, HERE WE COME 🇮🇹 

As many of you know, sales at our little bake shop slow down considerably during the winter months. (By as much as 90%!)

This year, we are using the quieter season as an opportunity to return to Italy and harvest our olives as a family 🫒✨

We’ll be leaving the Columbia Valley on October 14th and heading back to Italy for our fourth olive harvest.

Our olive trees are getting bigger, which is wonderful… But it also means a much bigger harvest! Our aging parents in Italy have taken on a lot of the work over the past few years, and this year we want to be there to take on the bulk of it ourselves 💪🏻

That means a few temporary changes here at home…

🏡 Wilder Lodge will become a private lodge until the end of January.

While we’re away, Wilder Lodge will still be welcoming guests, but instead of operating as our traditional hosted B&B, the entire upper lodge will be available as one private rental.

Guests will have five bedrooms accommodating up to 10 people, along with the kitchen, living and dining spaces and everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Essentially, it’s the Wilder Lodge you know (just without us downstairs cooking breakfast every morning)!

🍞 The bake shop is taking a little break, too!

Our regular baking will be paused while we’re away, with fresh Wilder Lodge baking returning once we get home in January.

Before we leave, we are going to BAKE 🥖✨

We’ll be at the Thanksgiving Artisans Market in Invermere, and we’re planning some very big final bake drops before we go (including Esso in Invermere and Calgary on October 14th).

We’re also planning to leave Esso a freezer full of bread and a stockpile of our shelf-stable pantry provisions, including pancake mixes, croutons, granola, dehydrated sourdough starter and gluten-friendly starter.

Thank you for supporting our slightly unconventional little family business 🙏🏻 Whether you’ve stayed with us, bought a loaf of bread, recommended us to a friend or simply shared one of our posts…

We’re looking forward to getting our hands dirty in the olive grove for a few months and then coming home recharged and ready for another season at Wilder Lodge 🧡
LITTLE UPDATE 🌼 Guessing bakery production is nev LITTLE UPDATE 🌼

Guessing bakery production is never easy in the shoulder season! The past couple weeks has left us with a bunch of sourdough in the freezers.

With Amber balancing the bakery and B&B while solo parenting, we are going to be simplifying production for the next couple of weeks.

What does that mean?

• No focaccia at the Saturday market this weekend. (If you need your focaccia fix, head up to the Esso and grab some now!)

• Scone production will be cut in half.

• Reduced inclusion loaves and production of bread.

Going forward in the shoulder season, we will be cutting our production by 75% so that we aren’t left with any extras.

If you’ve been meaning to stock up, now is the time! These tired bakers could use a little local love 🥖✨
IMPROMPTU RESTOCK! 🥖✨ If you missed us at the mar IMPROMPTU RESTOCK! 🥖✨

If you missed us at the market, or maybe just recently discovered our sourdough and you want to get your hands on another loaf…

We put out some fresh sourdough goods yesterday afternoon:

🍞 Classic Sourdough
🧄 Everything Sourdough
🫐 Freshly baked scones

Stop by the Esso in Invermere and grab your favourites while they’re fresh: these likely won’t last long! 🫶🏻
LOCAL LOVE GOES A LONG WAY 🧡 Especially for a fam LOCAL LOVE GOES A LONG WAY 🧡

Especially for a family-run business like ours.

We ended up with some left overs, which honestly doesn’t happen very often over the summer! We’ve frozen a few to preserve their freshness and have now restocked plenty of fresh sourdough goodies at our local retailers.

This time of year is always a bit of a guessing game. As summer winds down, we’re learning how much to bake each week so that everyone can still find their favourites (without us filling every freezer) 😉

If you’re stocking up before the long weekend, you can find our sourdough goods at The Local Coffeehouse (Fairmont), Esso (Invermere) and Circle Market (Invermere).
