Bake history right into your kitchen with this incredibly resilient, ultra-active 1700's heirloom starter! While our beloved "Magic City" of Birmingham, Alabama wasn't founded until 1871, this historic yeast culture dates all the way back to the 18th century, preserved and meticulously fed by generations of avid bakers. Now acclimated to the wild yeasts and Southern climate of central Alabama, this sourdough starter brings you the absolute best of both worlds: centuries of old-world baking tradition combined with a touch of modern Magic City charm. La Faye's robust wild yeast strain creates a beautiful, open crumb. A perfect artisanal rise with deeply complex, tangy flavor and a uniquely smooth, buttery finish.

La Faye is growing so well and I cannot wait to start making some bread!!!

This is a "replacement" starter I purchased because I "thought" I had killed my original one. While waiting to receive this "replacement" starter I noticed that Magic City Mike had been revived. So, if you want an almost 💯 starter that won't die no matter how neglectful you are to it or accidentally feed the wrong flour (I plead the 5th), THIS is the company to purchase from.

Great product! I'm ready to start baking. Thank you!

Thanks for the quick shipping

Can not wait to use!

Wonderful sourdough starter...easy to follow instructions for reactivating the dehydrated starter...sourdough starter took off like mad Day 5...Day 6 super active with wonderfully yeasty aroma...I plan to bake only once a week & I have complete confidence this starter will quickly activate after hanging out in the fridge...glad to have a sourdough starter with history!

I wanted a sourdough starter that was bred in my state of Alabama and this product was exceptional! Great customer service and the starter is a very strong strain that was easy to use.

Looking forward to using this starter.

Excited to try this for granola!
