About Luna Sourdough
Why Sourdough?
The fermentation process creates natural, wild yeasts that adapt to the air and environment around them. All sourdough starters are unique in bacterial content and the resulting yeast naturally leavens the bread. Sourdough naturally has a lower glycemic load, a lower gluten content, and higher probiotic content than bread made with instant yeast.
Ingredients
All Luna sourdough loaves are made with a mixture of high protein bread flour, whole wheat flour, and rye flour. We source organic, non-gmo grains to maximize the benefits and make all loaves the old fashioned way with flour, kosher salt, and water. That’s it. There are no additives, preservatives, or hidden ingredients.
The Process
All loaves are naturally leavened using our sourdough starter. They are all mixed in small batches in our home kitchen to ensure each loaf gets the time and attention it needs over the 24+ hour fermentation period. The resulting loaf stays fresh for an extended period of time and has a unique, delicious, hearty taste.
About Luna Bakery
After struggling with autoimmune and hormone flareups postpartum, I knew I had to learn more about healing through food. I have a history of working with fermented foods and have made kombucha, fermented sodas, fire cider, and homemade vinegars for over 12 years.
I started baking sourdough for my family. I was able to turn my health around and decided I wanted to share my love of fermented bread with my community by opening my home kitchen to a small amount of weekly orders in January of 2023. Now we have a successful farmer's market stall at the Parkville Farmers Market and are building our online business even more.
I named my business after my daughter, my first child, Billie Luna Carter with the intent of building a business that allowed me to spend as much time as possible with her. She loved attending markets with me, baking, and was my best taste tester. She passed away very unexpectedly in August 2024 at the tiny age of 2 years 6 months. The pain of her loss is something I'm not able to put into words. While Billie's life was short, she is the light and energy that keeps both me and my bakery running. Please think of Billie while you enjoy our delicious, nourishing baked goods.
