Bring Squirrelly Girl across the border and into your home bakery.
Order With Free U.S. ShippingHow Your Starter Travels
Squirrelly Girl does not cross the border as a wet jar of actively bubbling starter. Dehydration makes delivery cleaner, simpler and more practical.
The Culture Is Maintained
Squirrelly Girl begins as an established sourdough culture maintained through regular flour-and-water feedings.
The Starter Is Dehydrated
Drying places the culture into a dormant state suitable for packaging and delivery.
It Ships to the United States
Your starter travels from Canada to your U.S. address with free standard shipping.
You Rehydrate and Feed It
Follow the included instructions and provide fresh water and flour to begin restoring fermentation activity.
The Culture Wakes Up
Bubbles, expansion, an airy texture and increasingly predictable rising show that your starter is returning to strength.
What You Receive
Everything is designed to give you a clear starting point without mailing an active jar of wet starter across an international border.
Dormant Starter
The culture arrives dry and inactive. This is normal and intentional for shipping.
Activation Instructions
Clear directions explain how to rehydrate, feed and recognize the signs of returning activity.
A Culture to Activate
With proper feeding and suitable conditions, your starter can return to bubbly fermentation.
Ongoing Use
Once active, the starter can be maintained and used repeatedly for future sourdough baking.
Free U.S. Shipping
Standard delivery to your United States address is included with your starter order.
Activation Protection
If the starter fails to activate after you follow the instructions, our guarantee protects your purchase.
What Happens After Delivery?
Your starter has finished traveling, but the activation process is just beginning.
- Open your starter and review the instructions
- Place it in a clean food-safe container
- Begin the rehydration process
- Add fresh flour and water as instructed
- Keep it in a comfortably warm location
- Watch for bubbles and expansion
- Continue feeding to build strength
- Wait for consistent activity before baking
More Than a One-Loaf Purchase
Squirrelly Girl is a reusable culture. Once it is active, you can maintain it as an ongoing part of your baking routine.
Bake Naturally Leavened Bread
Use active starter to ferment bread dough after the culture has become strong and predictable.
Make More Than Bread
Use your maintained culture in pizza, focaccia, pancakes, muffins and other sourdough recipes.
Use Your Discard
Regular feeding creates discard that can be used in recipes instead of automatically being thrown away.
Refrigerate Between Bakes
Bakers who bake less frequently can refrigerate an established starter and reactivate it before use.
Share the Culture
A healthy starter can be divided and shared with friends, relatives and future bread enthusiasts.
Name It If You Must
Naming is optional, but after enough feedings most starter jars somehow acquire a personality anyway.
ACTIVATION
GUARANTEE
Protected After It Crosses the Border
Flour, water, room temperature and feeding conditions can affect how quickly your dehydrated starter becomes active. You should still feel confident ordering it.
Follow the activation instructions and give Squirrelly Girl the appropriate time and care. If the culture still fails to become bubbly and active, we will make it right.
- Free replacement starter if yours does not activate
- Full refund option if you prefer
- No complicated return process or unnecessary hoops
