I’m so grateful for this little bakery and the wonderful community that has supported it.
Thank you for being here—I hope my bread brings warmth and joy to your home.
Welcome to Mama Bear Sourdough, where every loaf is baked with love, just like I’d make for my own family. What started as a simple passion for baking has grown into a small business dedicated to sharing the warmth of homemade sourdough with others. I believe good bread is more than just food—it’s a little piece of home, meant to be shared around the table with the people you love.
At Mama Bear Sourdough, I focus on high-quality, naturally fermented bread that’s Not too Hard, Not Too Soft, Just Right. Each loaf is baked in a Dutch oven, creating the perfect crust and soft, airy inside. I use simple, wholesome ingredients—just flour, water, salt, and my sourdough starter—without preservatives or shortcuts. Because my bread is naturally fermented, it has a lower gluten content, making it easier to digest for those with gluten sensitivities. While my loaves may not have fancy designs, I believe quality always comes first—because good bread is about how it feels when you take that first warm bite.
For years, I gifted my homemade loaves to family, friends, and neighbors, never imagining it would turn into a business. But with every request for “just one more loaf,” I knew I had something special to share. With the support of my husband, Greg, and our four amazing kids—Clarissa, Zach, Emily, and Gage—I took the leap and turned my passion into Mama Bear Sourdough. Greg has been my biggest cheerleader, even gifting over 90 loaves to his elementary school staff as Christmas presents. His belief in me has helped make this dream possible.
