In this episode, Stephen and Wafa sit down with the owner of a beloved Forno Bakery and Pizzeria to learn about the inspiration and vision for this new successful bakery in the village.
From living in Portugal and falling in love with naturally leavened bread, to returning to Canada during the pandemic and building a business rooted in care, craft, and community, this conversation explores what it really takes to start something meaningful in a small village.
They talk about sourdough science, slow food, curated wines you can’t find at the LCBO, family life, and why Westport felt like the right place to put down roots — and create a space where neighbours gather, connect, and share a great meal.
