From Our Canadian Micro-Bakery to Your Home
A Canadian Starter Designed to Cross Borders
Squirrelly Girl Starter is maintained in a working micro-bakery in Princeton, British Columbia, Canada.
The established culture is carefully dehydrated to pause activity and create a lightweight, practical format for shipping.
After it arrives, you add flour and water according to the included instructions and begin rebuilding activity in your own kitchen.
The journey may cross borders. The bubbling begins at home.
Why Dehydrated Starter Travels Well
A Practical Way to Send Sourdough Culture Internationally
A wet, actively fermenting starter needs ongoing attention. Dehydrating the culture pauses that activity and creates a much more practical format for storage and shipping.
Practical for Shipping
The dried format is lightweight and avoids sending a wet, actively fermenting jar through the postal system.
Activate After Arrival
You add flour and water according to the supplied instructions after the starter reaches your kitchen.
Clear Activation Process
Included instructions guide new and experienced bakers through rehydrating, feeding and observing the culture.
Traceable Origin
The culture is maintained and dehydrated in our working micro-bakery in Princeton, British Columbia.
Activation Guarantee
Follow the supplied activation instructions and your purchase is protected by our 100% Activation Guarantee.
