Sourdough Sanctuary began with a dear friend...
In October 2022, when I learned we were expecting our first child, David’s co-worker Josiah introduced me to his wonderful wife, Hannah. We became fast friends—connected by shared hobbies, the transition into life as stay-at-home moms, and a deep passion to build something meaningful for our families. After sharing all my baking stories with her, she sent me a jar of sourdough starter through what we affectionately called the “husband snail mail” . That little jar—nicknamed “Oogie Boogie”—changed everything.
What began as a simple effort to bake fresh bread with clean, wholesome ingredients instead of buying it at the store quickly grew into an obsession and a joy. A spark had grown into a fire. Friends and family asked constantly, “Can you bake some for me?”
Each time I placed a loaf—made with nothing more than flour, water, and salt—on the table and watched the joy it brought, I felt the treasure sourdough carries: connection, nourishment, and love.
Sourdough Sanctuary was born from that treasure. My hope is that this bakery becomes more than a place to find bread—it becomes a sanctuary, where time-honored tradition and simple ingredients bring warmth, comfort, and joy to every table.
