Markham Sourdough Questions, Answered

How long does shipping to Markham take?

Shipping is free to Markham, and because our starter is dehydrated and shelf-stable, it travels safely by standard post — typically arriving within a few business days after we pop it in the mail from BC.

How fast will my starter be ready to bake?

Most bakers see vigorous activity within 3–5 days of following our activation steps. That's the beauty of a mature dehydrated culture: it skips the weeks of frustration that starting from scratch usually brings.

Is dehydrated starter as good as a fresh one?

Yes — dehydration simply pauses the culture; it doesn't damage it. Once fed, it behaves exactly like a fresh, established starter, giving you the same rise, flavour, and crumb.
