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.

Our Commitment to You

  • Nut-Free

    Starting in 2026, my cottage bakery is completely nut-free. Every product, every surface, every batch—safe for families navigating nut allergies. This has been a long time coming, and I'm so glad we can finally offer a space where everyone can enjoy real bread without worry.

    If you have questions about allergen safety, please reach out before ordering.

  • Corn-Free

    Every product at The Sour Crumb is made without corn ingredients. I've carefully sourced my flours, starches, and all ingredients to be corn-free, creating a safe space for those with corn allergies and sensitivities. I understand how challenging it can be to find truly safe options when corn shows up in so many unexpected places. You can trust that everything here is made with your safety in mind.

  • Small Batch Artisan

    I bake everything by hand in small batches, which means I can give each loaf and treat the attention it deserves. This isn't a commercial operation—it's my kitchen, my hands, and my commitment to quality ingredients and traditional techniques. Small batches mean fresher products, better flavor, and the kind of care that only comes from truly handcrafted food.
