About Similkameen Wild Breads
Similkameen Wild Breads exists for one reason:
To make real sourdough easier for everyday people.
After years of baking naturally fermented sourdough in a working micro bakery, we realized most people weren’t failing because they lacked passion — they were failing because sourdough was often overcomplicated.
That’s why we created the Squirrelly Girl Sourdough Starter .
A strong, resilient dehydrated starter designed to help beginners skip the confusion and start baking real sourdough faster.
🐿️ Beginner-friendly sourdough recipes
🐿️ Real bakery techniques
🐿️ Fermentation knowledge
🐿️ Stretch-and-fold methods
🐿️ Troubleshooting guides
🐿️ Honest sourdough education
We believe good sourdough shouldn’t feel exclusive or intimidating.
It should feel like flour on your hands, a warm loaf on the counter, and the confidence to bake something real.
While our focus has expanded worldwide through Squirrelly Girl Starter and online education, we still proudly bake authentic artisan sourdough for local restaurants and food service partners here in Princeton, British Columbia.
Because at the end of the day, everything we teach is still rooted in real baking.
