Watch your new sourdough starter take its first baby steps in our clear glass crock!

We’ve taken the guesswork out of tending to your new starter with this convenient set. Our fresh sourdough starter is a descendant of a starter lovingly nurtured here in New England for decades. Our clear glass crock — with a stainless-steel lid that lets gasses escape and red markings on the side in 1/4” increments — helps you quickly assess your starter’s progress and health. Has it risen to the highest point and is beginning to fall? It’s ripe and ready to use. Is there liquid on top or a flat surface with foam-like tiny bubbles? Time for a feeding! Set includes our Sourdough Tips and Recipe Guide to get you started for your best ever sourdough bread.

Care and feeding directions are included with your order, and are also available in our Guide to Sourdough.

IMPORTANT: Sourdough starter is a living entity; it needs regular feeding.

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.

Note: the fresh sourdough starter that comes in this set is processed in a facility that also packages products containing eggs, milk, soy, tree nuts, and wheat. DO NOT CONSUME RAW STARTER.
