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 our 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.

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

Perfect!

This starter worked as intended! It is strong! Customer service is also A+. My starter got lost in the mail and they immediately sent me a new one.

Best Results I've Experienced!

I've tried making my own, I've gotten wonderful starters from friends who are pros at baking sourdough, but I have not experienced anything that works as well as this starter! AND THE TASTE!!! I am so thrilled with it, I plan to buy a few more and keep them around because I'm concerned that if my local bugs mix with these long enough, it won't be the same. Plus, it's very reasonable and who doesn't want a safety net that is just like the original??

Nuclear powered!

After several unsuccessful attempts at making my own starter I bought this and 3 days later had an extremely active starter that produced a fantastic loaf. Highly recommended!
