Country Haven Sourdough

Welcome to Country Haven Sourdough

Hi there! I’m so glad you stopped by. This site is my little corner of the internet where I share my passion for baking sourdough bread — a craft that’s as much about patience and intuition as it is about flour and water.

What started as a quarantine experiment has turned into a full-blown obsession with wild yeast, fermentation bubbles, and that perfect golden crust. Whether you’re brand new to sourdough or looking to fine-tune your baking, there’s something here for you.

About Renee

Welcome! I’m Renee—mom of two incredible humans, Nonnie to three ridiculously cute grandbabies, and wife to my best friend and real-life soulmate (yes, those do exist—and mine even does the dishes).

We share it with five “hunting dogs” who mostly just hunt for treats and belly rubs. Basically, we live in a fur-filled, biscuit-fueled sitcom.
