Sunflower State Sourdough Company

05/24/2026

This is it, friends.

The final Sunflower State Sourdough Co. bread drop is OPEN, and I want to go out with the most beautiful bang.

When I launched this little dream, I genuinely had no idea how many of you would show up for a girl and her starter. (shout out to Otis, you the real MVP). Week after week. You ordered, you shared, you came to class, you texted me about your own loaves at 11pm. You made this more than a bakery. You made it a community.

So for this last one, I pulled out every stop.
This is the send-off.
The celebration.
The thank you.

Let's make this final drop the most memorable one yet!!

Orders close Tuesday at noon so get them in before you forget and lose your chance.

From the bottom of my flour-dusted heart, thank you for every single order, every kind word, and every loaf you let me bake for you. It has been the greatest honor.

Some news I have been sitting with for a while, but didn’t have the courage to post. Still don’t, but here it goes.

At the end of May, Sunflower State Sourdough bread drops, pre-orders, and our presence at markets will come to an end.

This past year has been one of the most unexpected and beautiful things I've had the pleasure of creating. You all showed up in ways that genuinely changed how I see myself. You gave me confidence I did not know I needed, and I cannot thank you enough for that.

The honest reason for closing this chapter?

The time, the mental load, the late nights (followed by early mornings), and the physical labor have been pulling me away from my family more than I want or they deserve. For something that should naturally allow you to slow down, be patient and enjoy the process; baking sourdough in bulk is demanding, stressful and exhausting. That’s the whole truth of it.

A few things worth knowing:
Sourdough classes are still on the horizon. The timing isn't set, but I fully intend to keep teaching. Many of you have already reached out and I haven't forgotten you. This page will remain up so keep an eye out for new class announcements.

I will have 3 remaining drops for this month, Pick-ups on May 16th, 23rd & 30th. I am going to open up the menus with some of your favorite, seasonal flavors so you can stock up on what you love the most. Reminder that sourdough freezes really well if you are concerned about the withdrawals 😉

This summer I'll be present with my kids, finishing the home projects my very patient husband has been waiting on, and resting in the good that this time serving you has brought me.

Sunflower State Sourdough gave me far more than I ever expected. It gave me the courage to show up, to share something I love, and to discover that I am someone worth showing up for.
That one I'll be keeping. 💛 🌻

With love and so much gratitude, Kali

P.S. Your access to delicious local goods, baked from the heart, does not end with me. Remember we also have Kaelyn Johnson at Kae’s Wild Rise for yummy sourdough goodness and Bailee Scheer at Beyond The Board for all of your special events… or a Tuesday, it’s always a good time for cookies, cakes and charcuterie!

A little schedule update from your favorite bread lady…

Hey friends! Just wanted to pop in and give you a heads up, your girl is taking a well-earned baker's break, which means there will be no drop for February 28th pickup.
Rest is part of the recipe too, and I'm leaning into it.

The good news? We'll be back and fully fired up for a March 8th pick-up! Pre-orders will open as usual [Sunday at 3pm] so mark your calendars!

Thank you, as always, for your patience and support. This little bakery runs on love, wild yeast, and you — and I don't take that lightly. 🤍

See you in March! (or This Sunday for those attending my Breaducation 101 Class, Can't wait!)

Still searching for the perfect Valentine's Day gift?

Skip the flowers that'll wilt by Wednesday or the chocolates that are gone in a couple bites and give something that actually sticks. Time together, doing something really fun.

Breaducation 101: Sourdough Basics is a hands-on class where you and your person will learn to make real, naturally leavened sourdough bread from scratch. No experience needed. Just good company, good dough, and a pretty great story to tell later.

You'll leave with your own sourdough starter, essential tools, and all the skills you need to keep the bread coming long after Valentine's Day is over.

Multiple class dates are available — so whether you're planning ahead or this is a total last minute save, I've got you. 😄

Today is the Day! Our Pre-order opens at 3:00pm!
Celebrate love (and really good bread) this Valentine's Day

Featured Flavor:

Rich, naturally leavened bread studded with dark chocolate chunks and tart cherries. Sweet enough to share...or not. I won't judge.

Dark Chocolate Cherry Sourdough Loaves
Cinnamon Roll Focaccia - soft, swirled, and still our most-requested
Signature Chocolate Chip Cookies
Original Sourdough Boules/Mini Loaves - the everyday hero

How It Works:
Pre-orders open Sunday, February 8th at 3:00 pm and close Tuesday, February 10th at 12:00 pm.

I've opened up some new "pick-up" options (aka porch drop-off) for my local Perry and Lecompton friends.

All breads are handmade using naturally leavened sourdough starter. No commercial yeast, no shortcuts. Just time, care, and ingredients that actually matter.

Whether you're treating yourself or someone you love, this drop is proof that the best things are worth the wait. ❤️🍞🍫
