XL Artisian Buns

I These buns are huge. No joke.

Made in house in our kitchen, our discard buns are extra large, dense and chewy, with the kind of bite that deserves a proper sandwich. A generous swipe of butter, something delicious simmering on the stove, or fillings piled high. These are buns worth making a little room for.

Prepped and baked fresh on delivery day. Big bun energy, straight from our kitchen.

What is discard?

Discard is the portion of sourdough starter removed when the starter is fed and refreshed. It’s still perfectly good for baking. We use our whole wheat starter in these buns, with added yeast to give them that extra rise. These buns skip the long, slow fermentation used for our sourdough bread.

Ingredients

Our discard buns are made with a whole wheat sourdough starter, white unbleached flour, salt, water, and yeast.

We release a set number of discard buns each week to keep our batches manageable. If we sell out, ordering reopens once current orders have been baked and delivered.

Freshly baked, within one week

Our discard buns are prepped and baked fresh on delivery day. Deliveries usually happen on Wednesdays or Sundays, though other days may be needed depending on order volume and our routes. Your order is completed within one week of ordering.

We choose your delivery day and work through orders based on when they come in, your location and our delivery routes. A specific delivery day or appointment time is not confirmed when you order.

Delivery and pickup

Available for Winnipeg delivery or curbside bin pickup at our farm in Osborne, Manitoba. That’s Osborne, MB, not Osborne Village in Winnipeg. No shipping or discard bun deliveries to the Headingley bin.

Delivery is a doorstep drop off, so you don’t need to be home. Please have a safe, secure place where we can leave your discard buns.

For farm pickup, please arrange your collection day with us. If you can’t collect on bake day, we’ll freeze your order and place it in the bin on your arranged pickup day. Keep in touch so we can coordinate your order and keep it as fresh as possible.

Made here, with care

We use gloves, protective bread covers, bread baskets and dedicated counter covers washed between every bake. Bare hands never touch your dough.

Want to see where your discard buns come from? We share behind the scenes on our Instagram Stories during bake days. Come for a peek at the process. Stay for the buns.

Missed deliveries, pickups and quality issues

If we can’t safely leave your delivery or you can’t accept it that day, we’ll bring it back and freeze it temporarily, or it’s used here with no refunds.

For Osborne farm bin pickup, if you can’t collect on bake day, we’ll freeze your order and place it in the bin on your arranged pickup day. Missed deliveries and pickups are not rebaked. Just keep in touch and we will keep it as fresh as we can. No shows with no contact is not our responsibility, if the discard buns go bad or stale due to no showing over and over and no contact you will not be refunded or rebaked. You have to pay for a new one if you want a fresh one again.

Discard bun orders are nonrefundable. If there’s a quality issue, please reach out. We’ll make it right by rebaking your order and arranging a replacement.
