The Sourdough Geeks Relaunch!

Revolutionizing Bread Culture: Sourdough Geeks Relaunches Brand with New Offerings

In a world where food trends come and go faster than you can overproof dough, there's one ancient tradition that has stood the test of time: sourdough bread. Sourdough isn't just about mixing flour and water—it's a craft, a lifestyle, and a community. And at the heart of this community is the foundation of why we created Sourdough Geeks, a brand dedicated to celebrating the heart and science of baking sourdough.

Sourdough Geeks was originally founded by Chef James Bridges, a British-American chef with previous Michelin-rated restaurant experience, who moved to the United States in 2017 to continue working as a chef and went on to become the Lead Baker at Haymarket by Ashbourne Farms. In 2020 his mission was to introduce bakers, new and old, to the world of sourdough. As of today, the community is over 600,000 strong and growing! James and his community have become a trusted resource to learn about sourdough in a supportive and inclusive environment.

“When you are looking for a comprehensive & scientific answer to a sourdough question, a Google search or garden variety social media account isn’t going to provide that. The experts at Sourdough Geeks - along with the plethora of tools, guidelines, and posts they have provided over the years - should be your go-to source.” says Sourdough Geeks Member, Shanna K. 

Now, fast forward four years and Sourdough Geeks is proud to announce its relaunch with a brand-new website, revamped membership subscription, and an array of exciting features designed to delight bread enthusiasts everywhere. Chef James has partnered with a team of bread-lovers to continue to bring you everything you already appreciate from The Geeks, but now with so much more. 

If you’re already an Official Geek you can expect the same price and experience you’re used to, just way better. And, if you haven’t joined us yet, now is the time! We’re launching with the same $5 membership price we’ve been offering, but you will only be able to lock in that price for the next few months. Read more about memberships below.

New Website, New Look

The first thing you'll notice when visiting Sourdough Geeks' revamped website is its fresh new look. The new website boasts a sleek, modern aesthetic that reflects the brand's commitment to innovation and creativity. 

But the changes aren't just skin-deep. The entire user experience has been overhauled to make it easier than ever for sourdough fanatics to connect, learn, and explore. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a total newbie, you'll find everything you need to elevate your sourdough game on the new Sourdough Geeks website.

Membership Subscription: Unlock a World of Bready Benefits

One of the most exciting aspects of the Sourdough Geeks relaunch is the revamped membership subscription options. Now, members can enjoy a host of exclusive benefits, including access to premium content and recipes, a new community experience, discounts on products, and early access to Sourdough Geeks products, events and workshops.

But that's not all—the most exciting piece of the new membership experience is the Sourdough Geeks private virtual community. It is now wholly owned and managed by the Sourdough Geeks team and has better opportunities to engage with our members, and for members to engage with each other. Here, you’ll connect with fellow bread enthusiasts from around the world, share tips and tricks, and forge lifelong friendships. It's like having a baking buddy right in your kitchen whenever you need them!

Shop Sourdough Starters and More

In addition to its thriving community and educational resources, Sourdough Geeks is also expanding its product offerings. Very soon, you will be able to purchase our very own premium sourdough starter directly from the website, ensuring that you have everything you need to kickstart your sourdough journey. The starter comes from Chef James himself and is derived from a starter that has made over 30,000 loaves of bread!

Members will always get first access to our product drops. Please make sure you sign up if you want to be on the waitlist after we let our members know. 

We’ll also be introducing a range of curated products Chef James loves to use himself, including baking tools, apparel, and artisanal ingredients. Whether you're looking to stock up on essentials or treat yourself to something special, the Sourdough Geeks Store has you covered.
