About Me

I was born many moons ago, but the Bread Baker of Riverdale came to life during the pandemic. 

A life-long fan of sourdough bread, I was initially intimidated by the baking process. But when my daughter gave me some sourdough starter, I was on my way.  With hard work, patience and the support of some skilled friends, I was able to unlock the mysteries of naturally fermented bread. 

When I found myself baking far more than I could ever eat, I began to  donate to a local food pantry. Next I started to barter with neighbors. Before long, folks with nothing to barter asked to purchase my loaves. 

From these simple ingredients, a bread business was born. 

Thanks to all who have supported me and helped me on my sourdough journey!

FYI - Home bread baking is allowed thru NYS Department of Agriculture, for which I have a state-issued permit.
