Your questions, answered

How long will my starter take to reach York?

Orders ship free from our Canadian bakery and usually land within a couple of weeks. And because the starter is dehydrated and shelf-stable, the journey doesn't bother it one bit — it arrives ready to rehydrate.

Does a dehydrated starter really work as well as a fresh one?

Yes. Dehydration simply puts the wild yeast and bacteria into a dormant state. Rehydrate with flour and water following our step-by-step instructions and most bakers see activity within days. Every order is backed by our activation guarantee.

Is buying a starter cheaper than making one?

Almost always. Building your own from scratch takes one to two weeks of daily feedings — that's a lot of flour down the drain before you ever bake. One purchase gives you an established, proven culture and skips the whole gamble.
