How fun to see a blog about sourdough from my favorite baking company!! I have always loved sourdough, but it's been years since I had my own starter. I just placed an order for the starter and the crock from KAF. Can you give me a heads-up about what I will need to do with the starter when it comes? How long will it be before I can bake something with it? We are in MO and are coming to the northeast for the fall foliage. My husband has already said YES to a little side trip to the flagship store. I can't wait!! Thanks, Barbara Barbara, I hope you enjoy your trip. We look forward to seeing you here! I think the foliage will be a bit somber this year - it always is when we have a rainy summer. But then, there's just no predicting what Mother Nature will show us... Your starter will come with an instruction sheet, but take a look at our online tips to see exactly what you'll be doing in advance, and how long it takes. It'll be about 24 hours before you can use it; more likely a day and a half, if youp ursue the feeding pace in a more leisurely way. Have fun- PJH
