OUR STORY

Kalama Sourdough Bakery

Hi! I’m Robert Ahrens and I started Kalama Sourdough Bakery as a homeschooling project when I was 13. As part of my curriculum, my parents wanted me to start a business. Since I already loved baking, I decided to

start a bakery! My Grandpa helped me build the bakery and my Mom taught me how to bake.

I started by selling about 10 loaves a week in our downtown Kalama Shopping Center. I then started selling at local

Farmers Markets during the summer. I loved it!

Since then, I’ve grown my business ethically and responsibly, always looking to local suppliers first.

I believe we have to work together as a community to keep the things we eat clean and local!

Our bread is not a standard loaf of white bread, It is a true sourdough that's made with a mother starter culture.

The only ingredients in our Artisan Loaf are Flour, Water, Salt and Sourdough Starter.

I use an old-world, three-day method of fermenting and proofing the dough until it’s just right.

Then we bake it fresh and deliver it to our amazing customers!

We've been open since 2011 and you can now find our

breads from Salem to Seattle!

"We appreciate all the support we’ve had from our local customers!"
