A Culture With a Clear Home
Made in Princeton, British Columbia
Squirrelly Girl Starter is maintained in a working Canadian micro-bakery in Princeton, British Columbia. Its origin isn't hidden behind vague packaging or an unknown source.
The established culture is carefully dehydrated for storage and shipping. Once it reaches your kitchen, the included instructions guide you through rehydrating and feeding it as activity returns.
That identifiable origin is one of the practical reasons someone may choose a Canadian starter: you know where the culture is maintained and who stands behind it.

Simple From Order to Activation
How Your Canadian Starter Gets Going
Squirrelly Girl arrives dehydrated, so you'll bring the established culture back to activity in your own kitchen.
Order the Culture
Your dehydrated starter is prepared for delivery from Canada with free standard shipping to available destinations.
Reactivate It
Add flour and water according to the included instructions and continue the recommended feedings.
Watch It Strengthen
Look for bubbles, expansion and increasingly predictable activity as the culture strengthens.
A Practical Note About Nationality
Great Sourdough Bread Isn't Limited by Borders
Choosing a Canadian sourdough starter doesn't mean Canadian yeast is magically more polite or that every loaf apologizes before being sliced.
A starter's nationality alone doesn't make it automatically better than a culture from somewhere else.
The useful Canadian connection is that Squirrelly Girl has an identifiable origin: you know where the culture is maintained, how it is prepared for shipping, and who stands behind its activation.
