Hey! I'm Ash.

I'm a suburban girl turned farmer with a love for baking. My driving passion is to bring knowledge of baking for our families to everyone around the world.

Baking bread is such a primitive act of sustainability for our families and something we can all do ourselves!  For a decade I have been baking sourdough bread and for the last several years I have been teaching it to anyone who will listen. The science of fermenting grain for bread is an art and the way I teach makes it accessible and easy for everyone to learn sourdough!
