Yorkton moms turn sourdough pickup into boutique bakery counter

In Yorkton, sourdough has moved off the parking-lot pickup route and into a boutique counter, a small-business shift that says as much about retail as it does about bread. Sarah Jakubiec and Alexandra Lamacchia have turned an informal arrangement into a permanent baked-goods stop inside Losa Chic Boutique, where shoppers can now browse clothing, consignment, and fresh sourdough in one visit.

The setup fits a town that is small but commercially active. Statistics Canada’s 2021 Census profile puts Yorkton’s population at 19,859, while the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce says it represents more than 450 businesses and has served the city and district since 1898. In a place where local shopping still carries real weight, the bakery counter feels less like an add-on than a sign of where neighborhood retail can go next.

Jakubiec opened Losa Chic Boutique in September 2012 and built it into more than a clothing shop by later adding consignment. She also balanced the business with work as a CCA with the Saskatchewan Health Authority in the early years, then kept going through family changes that included the births of her two children in 2020 and 2022. That kind of pace, and that kind of pressure, makes the new partnership with Lamacchia read like a practical answer to real-life schedules rather than a polished brand play.

Lamacchia’s Prairie Farmhouse Kitchen came out of a rebrand in 2025, but her food roots go much deeper. She grew up around Italian cooking with grandparents in Ontario, then built a sourdough-focused venture in Saskatchewan that found an early audience through pickups in a Peavey Mart parking lot. Those handoff points proved there was demand before the business had a permanent home in Yorkton.

Now fresh baked goods arrive every Thursday morning at the boutique, which is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 33 Broadway St. E. The rhythm matters: this is a bread business built around anticipation, not constant foot traffic, and it gives Lamacchia a stable city base while giving Jakubiec another reason for customers to step inside.

That community-first model already had local recognition. At a Yorkton women entrepreneurs event in November 2025, Prairie Farmhouse Kitchen was identified as a women-owned business, and its sourdough meal drew attention in a room of about 30 people. In Yorkton, that kind of visibility can turn a loaf into a local habit, and a pickup into a counter that feels built to last.
