Fall is here again, and I'm ready to pull out my starter and make ALL THE BREAD for soup season. But have you ever wondered what is up with sourdough? In the last few years, sourdough’s been blowing up the internet as people all across the world try their hand at baking tangy, complex, DIY loaves and recipes. In today's episode, we'll tell you how the sourdough craze got its start and how you can jump on the bandwagon just in time for your next bowl of soup.  Today’s podcast guest Kristen Stinson is the owner of The Curated Farm and my new go-to gal for all things sourdough. Kristen started her business as a way to connect with her community after moving to a 10-acre farm in rural Eastern WA. What began as a business to sell farm-grown calendula products at local farmers markets, quickly morphed into teaching sourdough classes to hundreds of people. Kristen recently was a speaker for the Modern Homesteading Conference in Idaho where she shared her knowledge and encouraged others in their sourdough journey. She loves helping people get back to their roots and learn a skill that they can share with their families and communities, whether they’re living on a 50-acre farm or in an apartment downtown.   If you’ve ever tried and failed to make great sourdough or you’d like to give it a first-time shot, Kristen’s tips can tricks will give you the confidence you need to start baking and keep your sourdough alive and well—even if you’re an infrequent baker.
