Sourdough Heritage

California Gold-Rush-era sourdough

Hand-crafted from Shasta County

A Taste of Yesterday,
Fresh for Today

Sourdough’s story began long before modern kitchens—born in the days of California’s gold miners, when wild yeast and local bacteria created a tangy, living bread that fueled pioneers and shaped San Francisco’s baking legacy. At Daily Bread N Butter Co., we’ve revived that tradition right here in Shasta County, using time-honored fermentation, aged starters, and simple, honest ingredients to craft loaves with the same depth of flavor and rustic character. What began as history has become heritage—slow-fermented, naturally leavened, and baked fresh for our community and surrounding regions, just the way sourdough was meant to be.
