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).

SOURDOUGH 🥖
• Classic
• Everything
• Multigrain
• Fennel
• Carrot Cake

FOCACCIA 🍞
• Herb & Garlic
• Herb & Parmesan
• Rosemary

SCONES 🫐
• Raspberry White Chocolate
• Peach
• Gluten-Friendly Raspberry White Chocolate

PANTRY FAVOURITES 🥞
• Sourdough Pancake Mixes (Classic, Chocolate Chip, Confetti, Frosted Cinnamon Roll & Strawberries & Cream)
• Spice Nut Sourdough Granola
• Herb & Garlic Sourdough Croutons
• Dehydrated Sourdough Starter (for those ready to bake their own!)

Every loaf you pick up supports our little family and helps us continue doing what we love. We are incredibly grateful for the way our community supported us throughout the summer, and we hope you’ll continue showing us that love as we find our rhythm through the quieter season 🤍
NO FILTER NEEDED 😍 If you’ve stayed at Wilder Lod NO FILTER NEEDED 😍

If you’ve stayed at Wilder Lodge, you’ve probably noticed that I love having fresh flowers around the B&B in the summer, and I am admittedly a very picky flower person 🙈 I know my flowers, I love my flowers, and I usually have a pretty specific vision for arrangements.

Thankfully, Cali's Farm & Flowers continues to humour me 🧡

She is always so accommodating with my requests and works with me to create arrangements that I absolutely love. Her flowers add that little extra bit of beauty and warmth when our guests walk through the door.

Thank you for your beautiful work and for putting up with my flower opinions. Supporting another local grower and small business makes it even better 🌼
Apparently it’s awards season around here! 🥳 I kn Apparently it’s awards season around here! 🥳

I know we JUST asked you to take a minute to vote for Wilder Lodge in the Canadian Choice Awards, and now the Columbia Valley Chamber Business Excellence Awards nominations are open too! 

This one feels particularly special because it’s right here at home 🫶🏻

These awards celebrate the businesses, organizations and people who make the Columbia Valley such an incredible place to live, work and visit. Whether or not your nomination is for us, I really encourage you to take a few minutes and recognize the local businesses you love and appreciate.

And, since a few of the categories happen to fit what we do here at Wilder Lodge, I’ll just quietly leave these here… 

🏡 Accommodation Business of the Year
🥐 Food & Beverage Business of the Year
🏔️ Tourism Impact Award
❤️ Valley Strong Award
✨ Outstanding Customer Service Award
🏆 Business of the Year

We’ve poured so much into building Wilder Lodge over the last couple of years. Welcoming travellers into our home, feeding our guests, growing the bake shop, collaborating with other local businesses, and hopefully contributing in our own little way to tourism and our community here in the Columbia Valley 🧡

Being recognized locally would mean an incredible amount to us.

👉🏻 Most importantly: go nominate the businesses you think deserve some love! There are so many amazing people building really wonderful things in this Valley, and this is a pretty great opportunity to tell them that what they’re doing is noticed and appreciated 😉
