Hi, it’s nice to meet you!
Hi, I’m Courtney! Wild for Jesus, my husband and our 3 babies. We homeschool, hike and have learned to grow food in a tiny backyard. My goal is to help you find joy and be productive wherever you are and make sourdough a little less scary.
When I first started my sourdough bread journey, the internet was my best friend. I didn’t buy any courses or participate in any classes. I learned everything I know by watching videos, following like-minded accounts on social media, reading blogs and following easy, beginner friendly recipes. That bloomed into my love for sourdough and my desire for this space. I wanted to create a place to learn, make mistakes, learn some more, and encourage you to have fun on your own journey of learning to bake bread. There is nothing that says “I love you” like a freshly baked loaf of bread.
xoxo Courtney 💗
Welcome!
Welcome to Acts of Sourdough! We are so glad you’re here. Whether you’re a sourdough newbie or a pro I hope you’ll find everything you’re looking for + a little encouragement to continue on your sourdough journey.
Acts of Sourdough is a family business that consists of me (Courtney), my mom, my husband, and our three kids. I am the creative one. It is nearly impossible for me to be in the kitchen without coming up with a recipe to try. My mom does the business and behind the scenes operations. My husband is the encouragement and biggest support. And last but not least, our kids (3, 5, and 7) are the driving force behind it all. They are my why.
We love and follow Jesus, none of this would be possible without Him. Every step we’ve taken with Acts of Sourdough has been a leap of faith, and everything that has come to fruition has been an answered prayer.
Our dream is that people would bake and break bread in their own homes with glad and sincere hearts Acts 2:46. When I transitioned into the role of stay-at-home mom, I first and foremost took the food we would be eating together very seriously. Being able to serve a warm loaf of bread to my family at the dinner table changed my life. I pray you feel empowered to do the same.
Some of my favs
Where we came from…
Acts of Sourdough came to be after a nasty case of the flu. I had been baking bread for over a year and the joy it would bring me to serve my family bread at dinner was something I wanted everyone to experience. I was scheduled to set up a booth at a local homeschool fair and sell my dehydrated sourdough and chocolate chip cookies, when I came down with the flu. It was my first time selling anything sourdough related, and I was so excited, but thought there was no way I would get it all prepped and ready in time. After several nights of rest, and my husband doing all the dehydrating and packaging, the day came, and I felt so much better. It’s at that fair where I first realized the desire others had to learn to bake sourdough. I was so grateful to be able to share this joy with others, that I went home and prayed that the Lord would make a way to make this real. The bible verse Acts 2:46 landed on my heart instantly – “they broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts”.
Acts. Of. Sourdough. Which is also a play on the words “Acts Of Service” was born.
I’m so happy you’re here; and I hope to serve this space well.
