I co-founded Sourhouse with designer Jennifer Olson. We envision a world where people gather daily to share homemade sourdough bread and other fermented foods. So we make it our mission to help people bake more sourdough bread. We make tools that simplify sourdough baking and that will earn a proud spot on your counter. Our easy-to-clean jars for sourdough starter and Goldie by Sourhouse: a warm, safe home for sourdough starter, were developed by a pair of home bakers with feedback from dozens of our baker-friends. We created the sourdough jar warming category with the help of 1200+ baker-backers on Kickstarter and Indiegogo in April of 2022. The Kitchn has called our products “simple, stress-free and gorgeous”.Learn more at Sourhouse.co
