The Sourdough Masterclass

The Sourdough Masterclass
AUD $295.00
  • Duration: 5 Hours
We'll start the day at 10am with morning tea and an introduction in the farmhouse. Then we'll go for a relaxed farm walk to visit the goats, see the gardens, say hi to the cows and chickens and pigs and turkeys and bees before we go into the farm commercial kitchen to make ALL THE SOURDOUGH.


In a very small hands-on class (7 people maximum) we'll be learning: all about sourdough starters; how to make reliably awesome sourdough bread; how to make incredibly good crackers from discarded sourdough starter; and how to make delicious sourdough fruit and spice loaf. You'll take home a loaf of fresh-baked sourdough, a new banneton (bread rising basket) containing another loaf to bake at home, a bag of sourdough crackers, a wedge of fruit & spice sourdough and a jar of my 14 year old sourdough starter. 

Note: We use 100% organic flour in the class and in the bread you take home.

About The Farm

Buena Vista Farm is a small sustainable farm on the outskirts of Gerringong, just under 2 hours drive south of Sydney. Buena Vista is a family-owned and -run enterprise, with continual family ownership dating back to the 1850s. The farm is currently run by Fiona and Adam Walmsley, with Fiona’s mum also still living on the farm. It has been a small goat dairy with cheeseroom as well as a commercial market garden, now a cooking school and home to bee hives, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, guinea fowl, kitchen garden, herb garden, an established coffee grove, small orchard and cut flower garden.
