Handcrafted baked goods from our home to yours

Meet the Baker

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. Every loaf, muffin, and cookie that leaves my kitchen is made by hand, in small batches, with care and clean ingredients. I bake the way I cook for my 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, I’m so glad you’re here.
