The magic of sourdough lies in its fermentation process. Unlike commercial bread, which relies on commercial yeast, sourdough is made using a natural starter. This starter is a mixture of flour and water that captures wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria from the environment. These microorganisms are responsible for the bread's distinctive tangy flavor and airy texture.

At Passel Hills Farm, we are passionate about bringing you the finest artisanal sourdough bread. Our commitment to quality and sustainability means using only non-GMO grains and practicing zero-waste principles. Our naturally fermented sourdough not only delights with its rich, tangy flavor but also offers significant health benefits, including improved digestion and nutrient absorption. By choosing our bread, you are supporting local, ethical farming practices and becoming part of a community that values good health and environmental responsibility.
