Hearty, Wild, and Rooted in Tradition
This Organic Whole Wheat Sourdough Starter is a wholesome offshoot of The Bear Starter — a 150-year-old culture passed down through generations since the BC gold rush.
Legend has it, a curious black bear once crept into the family kitchen and dipped its snout into the original starter jar. Since that moment, the starter has carried a bit of wild spirit in every batch.
Rich in flavour, full of whole grain character, and easy to revive — this hearty starter is ideal for rustic loaves, nutritious sourdough sandwich bread, and everyday bakes that feel anything but ordinary.

• 8g of dehydrated organic whole wheat sourdough starter
• Printed + digital instructions

💡 Why It’s Loved:
• Hearty, earthy flavour with a subtle sour tang
• Great for sandwich loaves, whole grain baguettes, and rustic crusts
• Long shelf life + beginner-friendly activation
• Rooted in BC gold rush tradition — and a legendary bear tale
