OUR STORY

A neighborhood bakery, started with one starter

Ember & Crumb began in 2019 when our founder, Andy, started feeding a sourdough starter in a tiny home kitchen. What began as a weekend hobby grew into a neighborhood bakery built on one simple idea: give good bread the time it needs, and it will taste like itself.

Today we still mix by hand, ferment slowly, and bake in small batches. The same starter from that first loaf is alive in every sourdough we sell.
