Thank you so much for8 wonderful years!

Sour Bakery will be closing after the Last market on August 9th! We have loved being a part of this community, a part of your table and your family, a part of your sweet treat weekend traditions. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to become better bakers and trying all of our experiments. I joked about starting a bakery when I moved here from California (I really didn’t think it was going to happen), and you all showed up, time and time again. I am so amazed by what we create week in and week out, and it wouldn’t have been more than a funny hope if each and every one of you hadn’t given us a chance (and some gentle feedback now and then). Thank you, from the soles of my feet and the crown of my head, thank you.

Years of practice, patience, resilience, and magical thinking (in a not destructive way) led to some pretty amazing things here at Sour Bakery! It might rain on Saturday, but you should come to the @chfarmersmarket anyway! It’s the very last
Hey friends! We have a little bit of equipment for sale! Please reach out for more info! Last photos is a walk-in (not a wall-in😂) Would love to help an up and coming baker have some great equipment to produce great bread!
Who knew our crackers would be THE THING everyone really loves about Sour Bakery?!? When we first moved here, my partners uncle said a few silly things and something I thought was silly at the time was: just do the crackers! These very unique tasty

Wasn’t sure how this week would turn out. We lost power Monday through early morning Tuesday, again Tuesday for a bit, and again Thursday for an hour. We had a little water to clean up (nothing compared to so many others), and lost some product
I’m so smart for snagging a brioche cinnamon roll before market yesterday! Two cups of Heart Of Darkness Coffee (light roast Costa Rica and Burundi) helped make my Sunday especially sweet!
Last week I converted an accident into a possibility. This week the possibility is real, real splendid: multi seed rye (no caraway, should I add caraway?) and a little olive oil. Very tender crumb with nice nutty crunch. Stop by the @chfarmersmarket
Happy almost Saturday friends! We’re excited to bake for you, if you come out to the @chfarmersmarket from 8-noon, for the last June market! It’s going to be *a little bit* cooler. We will have loads of sourdough breads and pastries, incl
