You might know us for sourdough… but there’s another side to SOUR

We take fresh fruit and turn it into our range of dehydrated snacks right here in Ōtautahi.

If you’ve spotted our fruit at Riverlution Farmers Market, you’ll already know what we’re talking about. But you might not know you can also find our range at Riverside Pantry in the city.

Our range includes Gold Kiwifruit, Pineapple, Apple, Pear and Fruit Mix, alongside our dehydrated Sourdough Starter.

And next weekend, you’ll also find us at the Christchurch Food Expo!

Don't worry you'll still find us as usual at the Riverlution Farmers Market on Saturday.

Christchurch Food Expo
📅 Saturday 19 September - 10am–5pm
📅 Sunday 20 September - 10am–4pm
Find us with Riverside Pantry at stand B2

Come say hi, try some fruit and check out the range!

A little delivery update!

A huge thank you to everyone who has filled in our local sourdough delivery survey so far, we’ve had 44 responses, and it’s been awesome to see so much interest!

A couple of little highlights:
🥖 Most people said they’d likely order weekly or fortnightly
📅 Saturday is looking like a strong option based on the days people have selected
🌾 And Seeded Sourdough is currently looking like a definite favourite!

We’re still juggling the logistics and working out exactly which day (or days) delivery will run and when we’ll get started, but your responses have given us a really good idea of what could work.

If you selected that you’d like to hear from us, we’ll be in touch before deliveries launch with all the details.
And if you haven’t filled in the survey yet but local SOUR delivery sounds like something you’d be interested in, it’s not too late! Your response will help us work out where and when deliveries make the most sense.

This is something we've been dreaming about for a while...

Imagine your favourite SOUR loaf arriving fresh at your doorstep each week.

We're exploring local delivery and we'd love your input before we start planning routes.

Our quick survey takes less than a minute and helps us understand: Who's interested. Which loaves you'd order. Where we should deliver first.

If you'd like to help shape what's next for SOUR, you can complete it here:

(You can also find it on our website)

As always, you'll still find us every Saturday at the Riverlution Farmers Market. We can't wait to see where this journey takes us—thank you for supporting our little bakery. 🤎

Freshly baked the morning of market.

We only make a limited number of loaves each week. Focusing on slow fermentation, quality ingredients, and taking the time to do things properly rather than rushing out volume.

That’s why once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Thanks for continuing to show up early, support local, and fill the table with our bread each weekend 🤍

Heads up, Sour whānau 💛

We’re taking a well-deserved family break in May, so we won’t be at Riverlution Market on 23 May and 30 May.

That means pre-orders will be closed from 12pm Thursday 14 May until 12pm Thursday 28 May.

We’ll be back baking and back at the market on Saturday 6 June.

If you’d like to stock up before we head away, we’d recommend placing pre-orders in the weeks leading up to the break to guarantee your loaf - especially as we’ve been selling out early lately.

Thanks so much for all your support, and we can’t wait to come back refreshed and ready to bake for you again 🍞☀️
