About Sourdough Basics with Matt from Beetlebung Farm

Join Matt, Head Baker and Miller at Beetlebung Farm, for an introductory sourdough class. In this demonstration-style lecture, Matt will break down the fundamentals of sourdough baking, including starter maintenance, shaping techniques, baking tips, and the science of fermentation. Matt will discuss the process of using whole grain wheat grown regionally in New England and ground on site at Beetlebung Farm in Chilmark.

Whether you’re new to sourdough or looking to refine your skills, you’ll leave with a better understanding of the process and practical techniques to use at home. Participants will have an opportunity to sample Beetlebung Farm bread and take home their own starter to get baking!
