Meet Sarah, The Sourdough Enthusiast with a Green Thumb
Sarah is a passionate advocate for native plants, an herbal medicine maker, and a sourdough aficionado. Her love affair with sourdough began in her aunt’s kitchen, where she discovered the beauty of slowing down and letting nature take its course. To Sarah, every loaf is a unique journey, offering lessons that go beyond the art of baking.
Her fascination with fermentation has since expanded into crafting herbal meads using homegrown plants. When she’s not kneading dough, Sarah can be found gardening, creating herbal remedies, teaching yoga, or lending her expertise as the Greenhouse and Gardens Coordinator at Crabtree Farms.
Her classes are an invitation to slow down, savor the process, and connect with the magic of fermentation and the natural world.
