About Clear Creek Sourdough

We’re a small woman-owned business in Western North Carolina helping bakers—beginners and seasoned alike—succeed with sourdough.

Through clear education, quality small-batch products, and a welcoming community, we make bread baking approachable, enjoyable, and consistent.

Our Story

Clear Creek Sourdough began at my kitchen table with a love of baking and a passion for teaching. I believe sourdough should feel simple, enjoyable, and within reach.

After Tropical Storm Helene, I lost the starter I had cared for over the years. Like many people in Western North Carolina, I had to begin again. Starting over reminded me how important clear guidance is—and how encouraging a supportive community can be.

Today I create beginner-friendly dehydrated starters, practical educational resources, and small-batch baking products to help every baker—new or experienced—build confidence and enjoy the process.

Meet Alice

Hi, I’m Alice—a Registered Nurse, lifelong learner, and passionate educator who fell in love with sourdough. I combine my teaching background with hands-on baking to make each step simple and approachable.

I love helping beginners succeed and cheering on experienced bakers as they refine their craft. I create clear educational resources and handcrafted products you can trust, and I’m happiest when our community is learning, sharing, and baking together.
