Sourdough Starter Subscription

Fresh Sourdough Starter Delivered to Your Door

There's nothing quite like baking bread with a living, active sourdough starter—but getting started (pun intended) can feel overwhelming. Our Sourdough Starter Subscription makes it simple. Whether you're a first-time baker or a seasoned bread enthusiast, we'll send you a healthy, mature starter along with everything you need to keep it thriving and start baking beautiful, delicious loaves at home.

This form helps us understand your baking experience, flour preferences, delivery needs and the kind of support you're looking for. Based on your answers, we'll customize your feeding schedule, recommend the right flour blend and connect you with the perfect corner of our artisan bread community.

What's included in your subscription

Each subscription includes:

• Fresh, active sourdough starter shipped in a breathable jar with enough culture to get you baking right away
• Personalized feeding schedule tailored to your routine, climate and baking frequency
• Flour recommendations based on your taste preferences and baking goals
• Step-by-step guidance for maintaining your starter and troubleshooting common issues
• Access to our private artisan bread community where you can share loaves, ask questions, swap tips and connect with other home bakers

You can choose from monthly starter refreshes (if you want backup cultures or gift-ready jars), quarterly deliveries or a one-time starter kit. All plans include ongoing access to our community forum, video library and live Q&A sessions with professional bakers.

Why Paperform makes subscription management effortless

We use Paperform to power our subscription experience because it does so much more than collect orders. Paperform lets us:

• Offer flexible subscription tiers with different delivery frequencies, flour add-ons and community perks, all managed through conditional product fields that show exactly what you need based on your selections.
• Collect payments securely via Stripe, so you can subscribe with confidence and manage your billing in one place.
• Personalize your onboarding with conditional logic that tailors feeding schedules, troubleshooting resources and flour packs to your skill level and goals.
• Automate follow-up workflows using Stepper (stepper.io) to send welcome emails, feeding reminders, baking challenges and renewal notices—so you always feel supported between deliveries.
• Integrate with our community platform to automatically grant you access to our private forum, recipe vault and live events as soon as you subscribe.

Paperform's beautiful, on-brand forms feel more like a cozy bakery website than a clunky checkout page. That means higher conversion rates and happier subscribers from the very first click.
