Artisan sourdough bread in Tehachapi

Slow-fermented, naturally leavened loaves shaped by hand and baked with mountain-town care. Flour, water, salt, time — and a living starter for Kern County tables.

The craft

The Loaf

True sourdough doesn’t rush. A wild yeast culture — the starter — leavens every loaf over a long, cool ferment. That patience builds flavor, an open crumb, and a crust that crackles when you slice.

Cassy’s bread is naturally leavened: no commercial yeast packets, no shortcuts. Local and carefully chosen grains meet mountain air and Tehachapi’s quiet rhythm. Each bake is small-batch and intentional.

  • Long fermentation — deeper taste, gentle on digestion
  • Living starter — wild yeast & lactic bacteria, tended daily
  • Honest ingredients — flour, water, salt, seed & season
