Ta-da!!! The moment we've all been waiting for! (Seriously, Bill and Carrie have not had pizza since September!) We are thrilled to be welcoming people back to Hearth & Hive...this year truly rain or shine.

This week's Seasonal pizza is a total rip-off...of a pizza my sister and brother-in-law's bakery in Manitoba has on their menu right now. Aspara-Gusto! Our beloved white sauce, mozza, roasted Maritime-grown asparagus, bacon, red onion, toasted panko, parmesan, and cracked pepper. $30

Our hours this year are Friday & Saturday 4-8pm, Sunday 1-5pm.
We anticipate having some busy pizza nights and strongly recommend preordering to ensure you won't be disappointed. DM us on FB or IG with your name, the time you'd like to arrive, and which pizza/s you'd like to order (the menu is the second photo in this post). See you soon at 51 Forestdale Road in Riverside-Albert!

Resurrecting the old stand has been good fun. It's been a while, but it cleaned up real nice. 😁

Hello Friends,

I'm back in sweet Riverside-Albert, grateful for all the love my plants and critters received from my community here in my absence. Thank you all for the care expressed in your comments on my last post.

One’s a family farm north of Riverton, the other’s a buzzing start-...

Hello Friends,

As many of you already know, I ended up heading to Manitoba earlier, and won't be baking this week. There is a chance I'll be baking next week (June 13th). Will be sure to give ample notice if that is the case.

Sending you all wishes for a gentle week.

Hello Friends,

Happy rainy Wednesday. :) I worked in the garden until dark last night, pushing to get seeds into moist ground in time for more rain. The temperature sent the blackflies home early, so I was left to plot, plan, hoe, and seed in peace. The junebugs came out as I packed up, and my cat, who was keeping me company, chased and chewed with great delight. Walking up the slope to the house, I saw bats in the dim light, and lay down in the dampening grass to watch them, nose filled with the scent of apples and lilacs blossoming. It was the perfect spring evening and moments like this make me truly excited to soon be welcoming people back to this property for pizza nights.

Due to family health reasons, I'm taking a trip to Manitoba, so June 6th will be the last day I am at the Moncton Market and baking orders to be picked up at CCC until late September. I'm so grateful for all of my customers. I wouldn't be able to be here doing this and experiencing this without you. ♥️ Beginning in late June, I'll post a list at the beginning of each week, outlining what you can expect to find in the bakery stand every day it is open. If you are driving from a distance or hoping to get certain items, you are welcome to send pre-orders and I'll put items aside for you.

Hello Friends,

Happy Wednesday! Incredible how long a week can feel when filled with things that are not routine - snuggles with little family members, hours playing in the water and on the beach, explorations with lobster and fiddleheads (the greens turned out to be a bigger winner than the crustaceans...although I'm sure the story of the size of the lobsters in Alma will be told in a prairie elementary school this week ;) ). It was wonderful and I'm grateful to be back baking for you.

This week's bake list:

Bread:
Rustic sourdough - $8.75
Ancient Grain sourdough - $8.75
Seeded sourdough (sesame, sunflower, flax and fennel seeds) - $9.75

Hello Friends!

Happy blustery Wednesday! It's been a gritty few days, but that's not stopping things from popping up and greening out. Working in my perennial garden last night, I felt the particular joy of clipping away last year's dead growth to see new shoots emerging. Ahhh...spring! The chives are out in force, so, for this mother's day weekend, there's a Chive & Onion sourdough on the list. Also, Amaretti are back. :)

Thinking of mothers...my mum's love of food no doubt was the spark for mine. As a teen, she spent hours pouring over recipe books, learning about cooking and making good and delicious meals for her family. This might not sound like anything out of the ordinary, but my mother grew up in a fairly conservative Mennonite household and explorations of that sort were not common. Women (and it was always women) cooked what their mothers and grandmothers did. Food was tasty, but rarely creative. I think the pressures of adulthood and raising children of her own cut down greatly on the energy that she had for looking up and trying new recipes, but when my parents started their organic bakery in the boondocks of Manitoba (no shade! I love the area!) she was the creative behind what they made. Cranberry-Almond sourdough scones (this was 25 years ago...well before Instagram! 😅) made with 100% stoneground flour but not heavy feeling, tart-sweet, nutty, and just oh, so wonderful. If you like my Double Chocolate-Espresso cookies, you have her to thank. Again, 100% stoneground whole spelt flour and a total treat. Gingersnaps made with blackstrap molasses, because it has all sorts of good to offer that fancy molasses doesn't...I didn't think of that on my own. I am so grateful for my mum and the generational inheritance she passed on that I get to share with you.

Without further ado, this week's bake list:

Bread:
Rustic sourdough - $8.75
Chive & Onion sourdough - $9.75
Apricot-Anise sourdough - $9.75
Chickadee Seed sandwich bread - $8.75

Sweets:
Blackcurrant-Blueberry scones 4/$9.25
Tahini-Chocolate Chip cookies 8/$7.25
Amaretti - almond cookies with a crispy exterior and soft marzipan-like interior, delicately flavoured with citrus zest and orange blossom - 6/$7.25
Cardamom bun - 1/$4.50 or box of 4/$18
Maple-Pumpkin-Flax granola sm/$7.50 LG/$16

NOTE: I'm hosting family from Manitoba next week and will not be baking. Next bake will be on the 23rd of May.

If you'd like to make an order for delivery to Crooked Creek Convenience, dm or email what you want, tally up the amount (your math is trusted :) ), and send an e-transfer to [email protected]. Your orders will be ready for pick up at CCC by 8:30am on Saturday. If you are ordering for delivery to Marché Moncton Market you can pay at the market.
