A short stack of Genuine Nova Scotia Oatcakes


All you need to know about GNSOs

  • Ten-years-old!
  • Still making small batches.
  • Approaching 500,000 oatcakes baked.
When Anthony came up to our market table and declared “Your oatcakes are a blessing to the world!” – that kind of put things in perspective.

A blessing to the world oatcake sticker

No one else we know is making oatcakes with all organically grown oats and whole spelt flour, honey, maple syrup and butter.

It's amazing how scrumptious this combination is both to the taste buds and the magic beings sensing and scrutinizing them.

Folks wonder about all the flavours offered. Truth be told it’s all the same batter really. Only the enhancements change and whatever is added – be it berries or spice – is selected from the finest local ingredients.

Just goodness.


Oatcakes & Strawberries


If you live on the other side of the world why would you care about local sourcing in Atlantic Canada? Good question.

It would appear the way forward for civilization in transition today is to support local economies wherever they happen to be. It just makes sense in our global village, to support small-scale local producers both near and far away.

Besides, there are only a few places on the planet that make oatcakes as a traditional food.

Not in stores
We tried wholesaling and determined it can’t be done at meaningful scale without robotics. One would need to be seriously automated to serve a major centre like New York or Toronto. In the end the oatcakes might lose that "homemade joy." Let us know if you imagine there's a way around this.

Selling direct means we can have fun with batch packaging, our "collector editions." This was the case initially 10 years ago when wrappers frequently reflected current events.

Wisdom & Transformation
The oatcake path over the past decade has been quite the journey. The Internet flourished and provided no end of resources. While making and baking we took full advantage and recorded what was listened to on the website.

When we started in 2014 it was whimsically, “Not just an oatcake, a complete philosophy!”

Today it's about creating and baking a delicacy that can cheer you up. Your oatcake is not just making your microbiome exceedingly happy, it contributes to the nourishment of each one of your ± 30 trillion cells!

Oatcakes

The KiloCan was an early innovation. A repurposed kilo coffee can, packed with over 80 oatcakes and with oatmeal as "edible cushioning." They've been mailed and received safely all over the planet.

Fortunately we've just received many new coffee cans, so the KiloCan is alive and well once again!
