Small Place · Big Sourdough Journey
From Princeton, British Columbia, to Your Kitchen
Squirrelly Girl Starter begins in a working Canadian micro-bakery where sourdough is part of the regular baking rhythm.
The established culture is maintained, carefully dehydrated and prepared for its journey. Once it reaches your kitchen, flour, water and the included instructions help bring the culture back from its travel-friendly rest.
That means the starter you receive has a clear connection to the Canadian place and small-scale bakery environment where it is maintained.
Why Origin Matters
More Than “Made in Canada” on a Label
This starter has a clear connection to the place and small-scale bakery routine where the culture is maintained.
Working Bakery Roots
Squirrelly Girl comes from a micro-bakery environment where sourdough is part of an ongoing baking routine.
Connected to the Bakery
The micro-bakery story keeps the culture connected to the identifiable people, place and baking environment behind it.
An Existing Culture
You receive a dehydrated portion of an established sourdough culture rather than beginning a completely new starter with flour and water.
Prepared to Travel
Dehydration pauses the culture's activity, making it compact and practical to store and ship to home bakers.
Clear Activation Guidance
Included instructions help new and experienced bakers begin rehydrating, feeding and observing the culture as activity returns.
From Bakery to Baker
How the Culture Reaches Your Kitchen
The starter moves from an active micro-bakery culture to a travel-friendly dehydrated form before you reactivate it at home.
Maintained
The established culture is cared for in our working Canadian micro-bakery in Princeton, British Columbia.
Dehydrated
Activity is carefully paused so the culture can be stored and shipped more practically.
Shipped
Your order travels with free standard shipping to Canada, the US and the UK.
Reactivated
You add flour and water according to the included instructions and begin rebuilding healthy activity in your kitchen.
What “Micro-Bakery” Means Here
A Starter Connected to Everyday Baking
“Micro-bakery” describes the small-scale working bakery setting where Squirrelly Girl Starter is maintained. The culture is connected to an identifiable Canadian place and a real sourdough baking routine.
It is not simply a marketing term meant to imply that your starter arrives as a bubbling jar straight from the bakery counter.
Your starter intentionally arrives dehydrated—not wet and active—so it can travel efficiently and wait until you are ready to begin activation.

The micro-bakery origin gives the culture its story. The practical details help you turn that culture into your own active starter.
Established Culture
A dehydrated portion of an existing sourdough starter maintained in our Canadian micro-bakery.
