Date + Time: Saturday, November 1st, 2025  |  9:00-11:00am Instructor: Nancy Nielson Join us in the greenhouse for a special hands-on workshop with guest instructor Nancy Nielson as she shares her expertise in the art of sourdough. Whether this is your first time attending or you’re returning to expand your skills, this class offers something for everyone. New participants will learn the foundations of sourdough, including how to make and care for your own starter, “feed” it at home, and use it to create beautiful boules of artisanal sourdough bread—all possible in a home oven. Returning participants will enjoy an exciting new focus as Nancy introduces recipes and techniques for sourdough sandwich bread, pizza, focaccia, and even sweet applications like cakes and cookies. Throughout the workshop, Nancy will cover the benefits of baking with a sourdough leaven, helpful tools to have on hand, and—of course—provide plenty of samples to enjoy. Come join us for this final sourdough class of 2025 and take your baking to the next level! $45 -- All supplies/materials are included in the cost of the workshop. This includes discussion, a sourdough starter kit, samples, and a syllabus (complete with step by step photographs.) Classes Have Limited Space Available. PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately due to material costs & popularity of the class, cancellations after October 25th cannot be refunded. If you have any questions or need to cancel please reach out to us at info@sunrivergardens.com
