Sourdough Starters
Sourdough Starters Collection
Bring the art of sourdough baking into your kitchen with our carefully nurtured heritage starters. Each starter is a living culture—wild yeasts and beneficial bacteria working together—to create bread with depth, character, and flavour that commercial yeast can’t match.
At The Fermentation Station, we specialise in authentic, time-tested cultures. Our range includes origins that have been passed down for more than a century—such as our San Franciscan and French starters—connecting your bakes to generations of bakers before you.
Whether you’re new to sourdough or already experienced, our starters are easy to maintain, highly active, and endlessly rewarding. With just flour, water, and time, you can bake loaves with a crisp crust, chewy crumb, and rich, tangy flavour unique to each culture.
Why Choose Our Sourdough Starters?
- Live, active cultures shipped Australia-wide
- Heritage origins with 100+ years of history
- Easy to feed and maintain for lifelong use
- Suitable for beginners and experienced bakers

Let customers speak for us
Producr deivered on time. I have never made sourdough anything before so this is the start. Thanks amazing starter and making another hobby now.
Looks good, have not used them as yet but i am sure they will be easy to use and bake with
I found the instructions very easy to follow and created a tasty refreshing second ferment in just a few days. My husband (who prefers commercial fizzy drinks) liked it too. I can’t wait until summer comes to be enjoying these fermented beauties in hot weather. Highly recommend this product and supplier.
Very happy with grains so far. Not sour like other grains I have tried.
I’m so thrilled with my first kefir batch from these grains! Jared and the Fermentation Station team have been amazing with their support. The grains were a little slow at first (thanks to the cold), but with their helpful tips and patience, they took off. Now, after giving them a bit more warmth and time, I’m enjoying some of the best homemade kefir ever. Super happy with both the product and the service — I’ll definitely be coming back!
