Tom's Pantry is back in business.

Following three years of baking, Tom's Pantry had closed in December 2021. Tom's Pantry is pleased to announce that baking will resume in a commercial kitchen on a full time basis in Alexandria ON. The business will open to the public in ​early September 2022.

On Monday July 18th, Tom was welcomed by (left to right) the landlord - Jean Vaillancourt, the mayor of North Glengarry - Jamie MacDonald, and the Manager of Economic Development at SDG Counties - Tara Kirkpatrick.

Hi! I am Tom Manley. Welcome to Tom's Pantry.

​I love authentic organic sourdough bread, the traditional levain bread that was common centuries ago before yeast was developed. Yeast makes quick and easy bread, but sourdough provides the unique fermented taste and the strong chewy texture.

I also love organic agriculture and food for its positive impact on our environment, the contribution to our health, and its support of farm families. I am also a bit of a foodie, with a craving for taste, relationships, and artisanal uniqueness

Organic

Tom's Pantry uses almost only certified organic flours. Most of the other ingredients are also certified organic, with a few exceptions depending on availability. Look for the list of ingredients on the label to see which items are organic.
​But Tom's Pantry is not a certified organic operation.
