Meet the 172-Year-Old Heartbeat of Our Bakery 🍁📜 Before there were highways, modern ovens, or packaged grocery store yeast, there was our starter. Born in California in 1854 during the height of the Gold Rush era, this incredible wild yeast culture has been kept alive, fed, and cherished across generations. Four years ago, it found its way into our hands—and it completely changed the way we bake. For the last four years, we’ve nurtured, fed, and gotten to know the unique personality of this historic starter right here in Florida. It’s the secret behind that distinct, deep complexity and perfect chew in every single sourdough bagel, bialy, and English muffin we roll. When you buy a dozen from us, you aren't just getting breakfast; you are tasting a living piece of American culinary history. Show more
