-live culture started with the apples peels from my homestead’s small orchard and fed with organic unbleached flour

The OG was started almost 5 years ago after my previous 3 year old starter was dropped and unsalvageable. This blessing in disguise gave me a new opportunity to use local ingredients from my old homestead up in the hills of Oregon’s wine country. Local apple peels gave my starter a boost in sugars for food and regionally milled organic unbleached flour. This starter is sweet and sour and produces a perfect loaf everytime, it also makes a wonderful discard for things like pancakes, quick breads, and believe it or not -chicken feed for an additional boost in nutrients.
