Advanced Sourdough Workshop
Saturday, March 28th
Ready to grow your sourdough skills? This hands-on workshop with Mikailah Grover, ND, is perfect for anyone who wants to dive deeper into technique. Beginners are welcome, though having a basic understanding of what a sourdough starter is and how it works will help you get the most out of the class.
We’ll focus on dough development, including proper mixing, stretch-and-fold methods, fermentation timing, and troubleshooting common challenges. You’ll learn not just how to do each step, but why it matters, so you can head home feeling confident and ready to bake more consistent, flavorful loaves.
$45 per person
Like all our events, these workshops will act as a fundraiser for Pomeroy Living History Farm, a 501c3 nonprofit, with a mission of preserving and maintaining history, providing educational opportunities, and sharing farm life - past and present - with the community. We hope to see you there!
