In a world that moves fast, there’s something grounding about slowing down, getting your hands messy, and baking your own bread. At Wildfire in Altoona, PA, our sourdough starter is more than just a product—it’s a step into slow living and a way to reconnect with your food, your kitchen, and your body.

🌿 Why Sourdough Fits a Slow, Intentional Life

Slow living is all about being more mindful—about how we spend our time, what we consume, and how we care for ourselves and the planet. Baking sourdough is a beautiful expression of that. It takes patience. Presence. A willingness to trust the process. And the best part? You know exactly what’s going into your food.

Our dehydrated sourdough starter contains only two ingredients:
👉 Organic wheat flour
👉 Wild yeast culture

That’s it. No preservatives. No hidden additives. Just real, natural ingredients you can feel good about.

🥖 What Makes Wildfire’s Sourdough Starter Special?

• Simple & Pure – No mystery ingredients. Just flour, water, and wild yeast.

• Shelf-Stable & Travel-Friendly – Our dehydrated starter keeps well until you're ready to bring it to life.

• Perfect for Beginners – Comes with easy instructions to help you get started and maintain a healthy, active starter.

Whether you’re a seasoned baker or brand-new to sourdough, our starter is a great way to begin baking bread that’s better for you and the planet.

The Joy of Homemade Bread

There’s something magical about pulling a fresh loaf from your oven—the crispy crust, the chewy center, the tangy aroma that fills your kitchen. But beyond the sensory joy, homemade bread offers something deeper:
You know what’s in it.
You made it with your own hands.
And you didn’t have to rely on plastic packaging, additives, or overly processed ingredients.
