If you love bread, pancakes, bagels – you name it – you'll love sourdough baking. It's versatile, delicious, and will broaden your baking horizons! The first place to start your sourdough journey is with your own sourdough starter. Ours is descended from a starter that's been lovingly nurtured here in New England for decades. When you feed it (all you need is flour, water, and a little bit of patience), it quickly becomes your own, adapting itself to your own region and climate. Thousands of bakers before you have made wonderful sourdough bread with a bit of this same bubbling brew. Join the ranks of satisfied sourdough bakers.
Thus we recommend no more than 10 days elapse between when the sourdough starter you purchase leaves our facility, and when you give it its first feeding. Keep this in mind when choosing a delivery method; if you need help making the smartest shipping choice, please contact our customer service team.
For best results, please feed your fresh sourdough starter within 24 hours of receiving it.
Care and feeding directions are included with your order, and are also available in our Sourdough Tips & Recipes Booklet (PDF) »
