Our Story

We Were Bread for this

Baking isn’t what we do. It’s who we are.  Stonemill® Bakehouse began as a fourth-generation family bakery rooted in European tradition.

In the ‘60s, master baker Gustav Boehringer took over his family’s artisan bakery in Germany. In 1982, Gustav brought his passion for sourdough to Canada, opening the first Stonemill® Bakehouse on Main Street in Unionville, Ontario.

Today, we stay true to those roots.
We honour 100-year-old family baking traditions and time-honoured craftsmanship. It’s what makes our sourdough more authentic, flavourful and wholesome, because making the best loaf of bread we can is always worth the effort.
 

Slowly Crafted. Obviously Delicious.

Most of our breads are made from a unique sourdough starter that we fly in from Germany. This honours our 100-year-old family baking tradition and craftsmanship for a bread true to what it’s meant to be – Delicious flavour and aroma with a springy texture that offers a bold experience in every bite.

Born in Unionville. 
Bread in St. Lawrence Market

In 1995, we were welcomed into the prestigious St. Lawrence Market in hopes of sharing our creations with the residents of Toronto. A home and hub for local foodies and curious visitors alike, the market has given us the opportunity to meet flavour fanatics where they congregate; a home away from home where we can offer them not just a slice for the road, but a pantry favourite for life.
