AMISH (WEAVER FAMILY) HEIRLOOM (200+ YEAR OLD) SOURDOUGH STARTER

This heritage starter will produce delicious and gorgeous bread, and it has a story that goes back to the 1800s!

You will receive 50g to 60g of dehydrated starter in a small packet with instructions! I’ve offered fresh starter in the past, but rising shipping costs — combined with ice packs and glass jars — made the packages quite heavy and expensive to send. Often I have customers purchasing multiple starters at once and I would have to use a larger box to ship as well . If you still prefer a fresh starter please reach out to me in advance and I can arrange it for you to purchase. 

I have a long and close relationship with members of the Amish community throughout my entire life even when I was 14 years old. Particularly the Weaver and Martin Family. 

The story is that this family heirloom was used in an Amish bakery since 1850. And not only that, but the founder of the Amish bakery also had the starter in her family for 40 + years before opening the bakery. This means that we traced this Amish sourdough starters history directly back to 1811! 

I've been lovingly feeding and nurturing that same starter for years. Not only does it make a wonderful sourdough bread, but it has a sentimental value. Growing up around them has taught me a lot and I often reflect on that teaching. It truly was a beautiful gift and now I want to share this gift to you.

 PLEASE NOTE ( I USE ONLY ORGANIC FLOUR IN ALL MY SOURDOUGH STARTERS)
