It all started with a suitcase full of bread.
I would fly home from my aunt’s house, luggage filled with loaves of mouth-watering sourdough.
I started visiting monthly, just for the bread.
Soon, I was baking more than I could eat.
I brought loaves to work. To yoga. To dinner parties. To a boat party, once, to break the ice.
The travel became excessive, so I decided to learn to make it myself.
I watched her process carefully, went back home, bought a sourdough book and started experimenting.
People started asking, “Who made the bread?”
When I moved to California, Khalil came with me in a small glass jar.
Meet Khalil
The sourdough starter named after my Lebanese grandpa.
He’s named after my grandpa because during the Lebanese Civil War he baked bread for my town.
The starter was formed in Austin, Texas where I began my sourdough experimentations.
Now Khalil resides at altitude where he provides bread to the High Desert.
What makes our bread special

Meant To Be Shared
From dinner tables to unexpected gatherings, we believe bread brings people together.
Hand Shaped
Each loaf is shaped by hand, bringing a personal touch to every bake.
