Baking Sourdough Bread
Baking Sourdough Bread
February 19, 2026 at 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm EST
Sourdough breads are a delicious, nutritional treasure and are easier to make than you may think. Let Candace, our resident bread-baker, walk you through the process from the comfort of your own home. Learn sourdough bread-making basics, tips and tricks for creating and maintaining starters and ideas for how to incorporate sourdough into a variety of other baked goods.

The workshop includes instruction materials and a sourdough starter. Starters can be picked up in advance at the White Violet Farm Store or on the day of class.
This is a demonstration class where participants will witness the full creation and baking process. It is limited to 15 people.
The workshop will take place from 6-8:30 p.m., on Thursday, February 19, in the White Violet Center classroom.
Book your spot today! This class is one of our most popular events and sells out every year.
