May 8, 2012, Toronto – Dimpflmeier Bakery was awarded The Sustainable Business Practice in Canada's Food Industry 2012 Award (SBPCFI) on May 1.

Since
2003, the bakery has utilized more
than 100 metric tonnes of hempseed flour in its products. Hempseed
flour is derived from locally grown, non GMO crops that are grown with
sound ecological, agricultural methods. It is a renewable, sustainable
food source and is deemed highly important to the safety and
sustainability of our overall food system. Hemp has also been
recognized as a highly nutritious food.

Aside
from environmental and health benefits, the bakery's use of hempseed
flour represents the diversion of 37 metric tonnes of carbon from the
Earth's atmosphere through the production of carbon-neutral bio-diesel, a
by-product of the flour.
