LaHave Bakery: The Building, the Baker, and the Recipes that Revitalized a Community
Authors: Jane Morrigan & Susan Ivany
An oral history of one of the cultural icons of Nova Scotia’s South Shore, featuring photographs, illustrations, and recipes.
Everyone who has travelled the roads of Nova Scotia’s South Shore knows the iconic landmark that is the LaHave Bakery. The vintage shop packed with whole-grain breads and irresistible sweets is a required stop on any road trip.
LaHave Bakery: The Building, the Baker, and the Recipes that Revitalized a Community tells the bakery’s unique story, from the construction of the historic building in 1901 as a general merchant and ship chandler to its present-day multi-faceted use as a bakery, a craft co-operative, a skateboard manufacturer, a bookstore, and a grocery.
This fascinating history is told through nine compelling first-person voices—including those of proprietor Gael Watson and her adult children, as well as friends and past and present employees—who share reflections on the bakery, the building, and the community. Their memories are supplemented with more than seventy curated images dating from the building’s early days and encompassing the bakery’s four decades of operation, beginning in 1984. Artists contributing to the book include Kat Frick Miller, Anna Bald, and Marnie Troyer.
And for the literal icing on the cake, LaHave Bakery also features a baker’s dozen of Gael Watson’s signature recipes for delightful breads and sweets.

Let customers speak for us
Cute enclosure cards are just right when you need a little something to put with a small gift - be it a hostess gift, birthday gift or whatever. Many different options to choose from.
And the design- chefs kiss
I liked the drawing and graphic colors right away.......The glib can of tuna with one candle........as a Birthday gift............And the recipient liked it as well as they has two felines...........I would have truly liked it even more - if it had been made locally, or at least provincially.......by graphics/print artists who merit support in this City/Province.....
My daughter will love this! She lives in Charlottetown and this will be special to her. Its beautiful, bright and so special! Thank You
Great bag for travelling or daily shopping. Large and roomy. Sturdy.
I love the RH card with the pomegranates. Especially this year, a year after the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust,it wa s very meaningful to be able to find and send cards for the Jewish new year - this one is very sweet and I was so happy to have it to send to special people in my life - thank you!
Cute and colourful - meant to give it away as a gift but kept it instead!
Purchased as a gift and my sister adored it. Nice attention to detail - very soft and cute!
Without a doubt every purchase I make at Inkwell impresses friends and family with the best of the best in the Maritimes. I love supporting local artists (these tri-folds are a top favourite) and this beautiful store makes it extra easy to access the most beautiful pieces.
I really like this man’s work. People love receiving them.
