Oregon Trail Sourdough

Get ready to experience the pioneer life with a time-lapsed demonstration that will transport you back to the days of Oregon Trail sourdough

Discover the Magic of Oregon Trail Sourdough

Join us for a fun demonstration style sourdough workshop at Holmesteading Farms!

This session will be led by Shannon Asbury, co-owner of local microbakery Dough Mamas CLE. Shannon is a skilled baker who combines technical expertise with a creative touch to craft sourdough that’s as beautiful as it is delicious — nourishing both body and soul with every loaf. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to level up your bread game, this experience is perfect for bakers of all levels.

You’ll be working with a truly historic sourdough starter, traced back to the Oregon Trail in 1847—carefully preserved and passed down through generations for over 150 years.

🧺 What’s included:

• A printed sourdough guide to take home
• A fresh jar of Oregon Trail sourdough starter
• Live demonstration of the full sourdough process—from starter to baked loaf
• Bread + butter tasting at the end!

📍 Where: Holmesteading Farms 27389 Bagley Rd. Olmsted TWP, OH 44138 - at our covered farm pavilion, park-like setting - dress for the weather!

This 2.5-hour workshop is a great chance to connect with fellow baking enthusiasts, enjoy a relaxing afternoon, and leave with the skills (and starter) to keep baking at home.
