How does shipping to Ashburton work?

Shipping is free to Ashburton and everywhere else in New Zealand. Because the starter is dehydrated flakes, it travels beautifully without any special handling — just order, and it heads your way.

How long does it take to activate?

Most bakers see lively activity within a few days of regular feeding. The included instructions walk you through each feed, so you always know what to look for and what to do next.

What if my starter does not activate?
