🍞 Calamity Jane — The Wild-Hearted Sourdough Starter
Bring a little frontier spirit into your kitchen.
Meet Calamity Jane, a bold, dependable sourdough starter born from the heart of Texas and raised with patience, warmth, and a dash of wild grit.
🌾 Her Story
Every starter has a beginning…
Calamity Jane came to life on a stormy evening, when flour met water and the air was thick with adventure. She’s named for the fearless frontierswoman herself — a little unpredictable, full of character, and impossible not to love. Over the years, she’s baked countless golden loaves, each one crusty on the outside, soft within, and rich with the taste of time and tradition.
When her spirit grew too big for one kitchen alone, she was gently dehydrated at her peak, capturing all her lively culture and natural yeast so that bakers everywhere could share in her legacy.
