Profile Bethany and Nicholas Higgins

Stillcroft Farm and BakehouseBETHANY AND NICHOLASHIGGINS have taken a big leap for-ward, by looking back. The youngcouple recently moved to St. JosephIsland from Edmonton and they’vebrought some big dreams and planswith them. And they’re already mak-ing a very positive impact here, withtheir newly-opened Stillcroft Farmand Bakehouse making such a hugeimpression on our tastebuds.

For the former Bethany Tulloch, whogrew up on the Island, it’s truly agreat homecoming. After about adecade away, she’s now back home,as she, her husband and 18 monthold son Atley embark upon a new and exciting phase of their lives together.

Two years ago, in looking to the future, they bought the old Still farm on theX Line. But it’s not something that they’ve done on a whim. The story of howthey got here is a familiar one … the Island draws you to her bosom and cap-tures your heart. “We came and visited the Island for about a week.” Nicholastells us. “We have a friend who lives down the road, and she told us that thisplace was for sale and that was it! We worked in Edmonton for about a year,to save up some money. After that, we came right back here, spent the sum-mer getting ready and opened our Bakehouse.

“Was the Bakehouse your big dream?” we asked. “Actually, it’s just one of ourideas.” replied Bethany cheerfully. “We have a lot of ideas! This is just the onethat’s germinating now!” she laughed. Their initial vision of THIS idea turnedinto a solid, workable plan and, with the help of a Northern Ontario Heritage

Continued on next page

Fund ‘Young Entrepreneurs’ Grant, the young couple setabout making the plan a reality. And they’ve certainly donethat!

The historic old Still farm is now an enchanting blend of theold and the new. Pulling into the driveway,you are immediately charmed by the rusticlog farmhouse, the stately old barn andoutbuildings while off to the side sits asleek, modern addition – the new bake-house. With help from his wife, Nicholasdid all of the construction work, with theexception of the brick baking oven, whichhad to be built by qualified, professionalmasons.

The rest of the building is neat, tidy and or-ganized, devoted to ingredients storage, alarge,well-used work table and a large com-mercial mixer. And Oh! How the Higgins’do bake bread! We tried a few loaves our-selves to see what all the fuss is about, andnow we too are dedicated converts to theirtasty, organic offerings!

“Bread making is an ancient craft. It’s afundamental food.” says Nicholas. “We bakethe way people have been baking bread for

as long as there has been yeast for leavening.” Bethanyproudly adds “We use only organic ingredients, 99.9% of thetime.” The list of ingredients tends to be a short one: organicflour, salt and water. That’s it!

Yet, it’s not just about the wholesomeness of the ingredients;it’s also about what magic these young bakers can make withthem! They use a variety of recipes, wild yeasts, organic seeds,their own sourdough cultures and a long, slow rising process,before baking it in their wood-fired brick oven. The end re-sult is an assortment of truly delicious artisan breads, withsuperior flavour, texture and keeping qualities. They’re alsohealthier than commercial breads, since wild yeast works bet-ter to naturally ferment the grains, making them easier to di-gest and providing more vitamins and minerals for the body.

“We’re still experi-menting andtweaking ourrecipes, but it’s allintuition.” Bethanytells us. “This is noassembly line!”That’s for sure!Bethany andNicholas follow arigid schedulingroutine in bakingeach batch. A fullday is devoted tomixing each batch,which then sitsovernight orlonger, dependingon which types ofbread are being made. The oven is fired, usually from aroundnoon until about 6 pm, when the wood is removed and theoven is allowed to reach its optimum temperature for bakingthe next day.

Yet, the bakers cannot just toss their loaves into the coolingroom and go watch television. They must monitor the bread’sprogress, sometimes having to accelerate or slow down thefermentation, to get things just right for baking. After ‘baking’day, there’s lots of clean up work, before the cycle starts all

over again with the next batch. The work never really stops,but this young couple clearly loves what they’re doing.

Again, this is no hermetically sealed, climate controlled com-mercial bread factory. Each loaf baked could be subject tochanging temperatures, increased or decreased humidity …any number of variable influences, so no recipe is guaranteedto come out exactly the same every time – but that’s part ofthe charm of custom-made artisan bread. And it’s always deli-cious!

Their rapidly-growing list of devoted customers is proof ofthat. “The response has been just great!” says Bethany happily.“Way better than we expected!” Nicholas quickly chimes in.Both are quick to add that they have no plans to get too “big”in what they do.

They sell their breads at the Mill Market in the Sault onWednesdays from 3 pm to 7 pm and Saturdays from 8 am to 2pm. We think however that Islanders enjoyed seeing them atthe Old Town Hall in Richards Landing from 4:30 pm to 6:30pm on Wednesdays, although they’ve now stopped doing that,at least for the cold winter months.

Don’t worry though! You can still call them at 705 246-1803to place a delivery order or, for a real culinary experience, visitthem at their Bakehouse, located at 4159 X Line, a few min-utes outside Hilton Beach. They’re open for customers Fri-days from 4 pm to 6 pm.

“We want to stay local and we want to make something thatpeople want.” Bethany asserts. Nicholas adds “We’re workingon figuring out the best ways to serve our Island customers.”

We’ll look forward to hearing more from them about wherewe can find a new supply of their wonderful offerings.

Creating unique artisan breads can be a painstaking, compli-cated undertaking, but it’s clear that this young, dedicatedcouple know exactly what they’re doing!
