This amazing starter traces its roots back to the San Francisco gold rush (really!!) but has been living and mingling with Kensington Markets eclectic denizens for the past several years. It’s been in continuous use since 1850! 

This starter makes great bread. See my reviews below!! 

Each order includes a packet of dry starter along with detailed instructions for activating and maintaining the starter, as well as links to some great recipes!  It’s pretty fool proof and you will be baking amazing loaves in no time. 

Order now to take advantage of our current promotion offering free shipping World Wide.  All orders will be processed the same or next business day.

I work really hard to keep this incredible starter happy and healthy, and I hope you will love it as much as I do. Happy baking!

This was the first time I had success with a starter! I followed the instructions, which were great, and it is wonderful!!
I might buy another just encase I “kill” this one(I seem to have a knack)!
Took time to get here but considering it’s distant, this is fine!!
Thank you for my success!!

The first order worked so well, I ordered another one as a present. Awesome starter. See pic from just one of many bakes from the original order.

Great success, follow the instructions!

This starter is sooo easy to "revive", plus you can travel with it! It's also very robust, so it's survived quite a bit of experimenting in our kitchen. I would highly recommend anyone to try this starter, especially any novices, as you can appreciate how a strong starter works, and compare to your own.

Extremely happy!

I am brand new to sourdough baking and this was my first ever attempt at making a starter. The instructions were so helpful and detailed enough for a newbie and the recipe suggestions have been great. I have made three beautiful loaves of bread and my starter is getting stronger all the time. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to get into baking sourdough...there is nothing like pulling a freshly baked bread out of the oven!
