Handmade Organic Sourdough Bread in the Upper Ottawa Valley
 
Heather's Hearth

About

Hello and Welcome! I’m Heather, owner of Heather’s Hearth, an on-farm Sourdough School and Bakery. In the past 12 years I have spent many weeks at a local farmer’s market selling my organic sourdough bread (baked in a wood fired oven), running bread shares and delivering it to cafes/stores and individual customers. As of 2025 I have scaled back the production side of things to meet my physical and mental needs to a manageable number of loaves.

It’s my passion to pass along the skills of sourdough bread baking to other home bakers through my in person workshops. I love teaching others and welcoming you into my home to get a feel for the complex yet simple process of baking sourdough bread. Workshops are ongoing from September-June of each year.

 

I have been an advocate of local and organic ingredients for many years now- all the  flour I use in my baking is grown in Canada (mostly Quebec/Ontario and B.C). Most of it is certified organic. In workshops I help people find the right flour for their needs.

I am also a Mom, partner and homesteader- I dabble in many different things: gardening, livestock tending, willow weaving and more!

Thank-you for being here!
