This post prompted me to search the site and find how to start a sourdough starter, and saw that it apparently keeps for months and maybe even years?? But was wondering about the upkeep. I see where you said you feed it about every three months. Do you have a blog on what that means and what you should do? I apologize if I missed it. Also, how do you add to it when you use it so that you still have plenty on hand? Any information would be appreciated. If it's more in-depth and something I should research elsewhere, that's fine, too. Thanks! Hello dawngfz - We have quite a bit of information on sourdough and maintaining a starter. You came to the right place! Yes, it can keep for months and even years, and will you believe for over 200 years??? The starter we maintain here for mail order is that old! Our Classic Fresh Sourdough Starter is available for purchase. Instructions for maintaining your new friend can be found on our site. All in all, it is quite easy. Sourdough starters are much more resilient than most people think. I subscribe to feeding it when I use it which ends up being once a week or once every 2 weeks. In many cases, it can be neglected for weeks at a time and be revived with only a few feedings. For more information on sourdough we have a page on our site called, Sourdough Essentials and do check out all the sourdough blogs. Send us an email, call our Hotline or join a discussion on our Community page. We have lots of resources! Elisabeth
