Scion of La Farine
Since 1974
I got my starter from a baker friend who got his from La Farine Bakery here. The starter has been active since at least 1974. I have been keeping it independently since 2017.
Characteristics
My starter has a very floral scent and is healthy, but never more than doubles in the jar.
