Quick Answers to Questions You're Probably Already Having

When will my starter arrive?

3-5 business days via USPS. Tracking number is in your email.

What if I'm not home when it arrives?

No problem. It's dehydrated, so it doesn't need refrigeration. It can sit in your mailbox for days and be perfectly fine.

What if I mess it up?

You won't. But if you do, just email us. We'll help you troubleshoot or send another packet free.

Do I need special equipment?

Nope. A bowl, a baking sheet, and your oven. That's it.

How long does the starter last?

Forever. Literally. Feed it once per week and it lives indefinitely.

Can I give some to a friend?

Absolutely. Once it's active, you can share portions with anyone. That's how heritage starters survive for centuries.

One More Thing (Optional, But Cool)

You just got one heritage starter. It's incredible. You're going to love it.

But here's something most people don't know: Different starters create completely different flavors.

  • The Mother starter tastes nothing like the Greta's Heart.
  • The Gold Miner's Ghost creates totally different bread.
  • The Daughter of the Nile starter has its own unique character.

If you're curious about trying different heritage starters (not just one), we have something called The Sourdough Club, where we'll send you one heritage starter per month for just $9.95.

Curated from around the world. Delivered to your door. It's what serious home bakers use to build their collection.

You can check it out by clicking the button below. Or don't. Totally up to you.

Your Mother starter is more than enough to keep you busy for months. But if you want variety down the road, that's where you'd find it.
