Woodfired Sourdough Adventure at Brot Bakehouse

Nestled in the hills of Fairfax, Vermont, Brotbakery was opened in 2012 by bakeress Heike Meyer. Growing up in Germany, Heike was heavily influenced by the rustic, hearty sourdough loaves you still find in many European bakeries, with inspiration from the rich food traditions and bread skills in the Americas.

This is what she now teaches at the spacious and inviting bakehouse and online throughout the year. Over the summer, you can also find hand-shaped breads freshly baked in the wood-fired oven at farm stands and selected restaurants.

Join us for a visit of the bakehouse, school & kitchen where we'll see a demonstration of natural bread making and get our hands into the dough to make (and taste!) natural sourdough recipes. All participants will have the opportunity to take home their very own sourdough starter along with information on how to maintain their starter culture at home and successfully bake with it.
