The Tallow Tree Sourdough Starter Class

Join us at The Tallow Tree inside Paris Peddler for a hands-on class that teaches the art and science of creating and caring for your own sourdough starter.

You’ll learn how to:

• Mix and begin your own natural starter from scratch
• Feed, store, and troubleshoot your starter
• Understand the rhythm of fermentation and how to keep your wild yeast healthy and happy

This class is instruction-only — no baking is involved — but you’ll leave with:

• A jar of your own Calamity Jane–inspired starter to take home
• Printed care instructions
• Access to our “Sourdough 101” community tips

Our legendary starter, Calamity Jane, has been the heart of our bread from the start — wild, resilient, and full of character. She’s survived Texas humidity, kitchen experiments, and every loaf that’s come through our doors. Now she’s ready to help you start your own sourdough adventure.

Class Duration: 1 hour

Location: Paris Peddler – Old Town Spring, TX

Cost: $75 per person

What to Bring: Just yourself — we’ll provide all materials.
