Roots Rising Bakery
Roots Rising Bakery is a 100% gluten-free bakehouse on the North Island Highway in Courtenay, founded by a chef whose personal health journey led her to specialize in food as medicine. The bakery produces artisan breads, pastries, and cakes across three distinct lines — Rising Roots, Primal Roots (keto/paleo/diabetic-friendly), and Wild Roots (vegan sourdough) — making it a rare stop catering to cyclists with celiac disease, dairy intolerances, and other dietary restrictions. Products are also stocked at a number of local Courtenay-area cafes and restaurants.
This place is in the traditional territory of the Homalco, K’ómoks, Liǧʷiłdax̌ʷ, ɬaʔamɩn gɩǰɛ (Tla’amin), We Wai Kai, and Wei Wai Kum.
