Real bread, real ingredients, baked fresh in small batches
Our Story
The Sour Crumb began as a way to feed my family better—better bread, better ingredients, and better habits around our table. While I've been baking since I was a girl by my mom's side, sourdough reignited something deeper: a passion not just for creating, but for sharing what I make.
What started with one loaf quickly grew into a love for slow baking and an appreciation for simple, thoughtful food. Everything that leaves our kitchen is made by hand, in small batches, with care and clean ingredients. We bake the way we cook for our own family—thoughtfully, simply, and with a whole lot of heart.
Whether you've been following along from the beginning or just discovered us at a local market, we're so glad you're here. Thanks for supporting real bread, made with intention.
