Tranquility Acres Levain
Since 1922
I've Baked for 44 years and sourdough starters were always part of it. This particular starter has been to every job I've had since 1988 although it is a couple centuries older than tha.
Characteristics
It's tangy with a nice sweetness. Maybe it's all that pacific ocean air...

Comments
This starter landed in New York from Ireland over 100 years ago carried by a young 5th generationIrish baker. It's over 200 years old
The age toggle doesn't let me go farther back than 1922. How do I go back farther?
