"What made you start?"

It all started with a dear friend. I found out we were expecting our first child in October 2022. David’s co-worker Josiah, introduced me to his wonderful wife, Hannah. Instant friends, we bonded over mutual hobbies, our lives as we became stay-at-home moms, and our passion to be entrepreneurs to support our beautiful families.
She sent a jar of Sourdough starter through the “husband snail mail” chain a year later... Our “Oogie Boogie” started an obsessive hobby to bake our families bread from home with clean ingredients, instead of buying bread from a grocery store.
A third October later, a fire started in my heart, to share my bakes and the benefits sourdough can give with my community. My friends and family ask me time and again, “Can you bake some for me?” Putting a loaf of bread made out of just flour, water and salt on the table with your kin around you, and experiencing their joy, is a treasure. I hope that my bakery may be a sanctuary where that treasure can be kindled!

Meet the Chef

Hi! I'm Monica Miller, the baker behind Sourdough Sanctuary!

I'm a Certified Culinarian, wife, and stay-at-home momma to our first born, here in Central PA!

Baking has always been my outlet for unleashing my creativity, my therapy, and my pleasure. Sourdough bread making is a slow and quiet, methodical, ritual-like process. The Sourdough Sanctuary embraces the connection between patience and time, flour and water.

I have found myself wide awake in those sleepy hours, reflecting on my dreams, as I go through that slow process of fermentation and gluten development. My goal is to provide a means for my customers to connect with themselves and their families through though the breaking of bread, just as I have connected with my own at our family’s table.
