Description: Skookum is one of a kind! His history dates back to the Alaskan Gold Rush, where he arrived in the Klondike in a prospector's pocket, having travelled the perilous Chilkoot Trail in 1896. The fact that this starter survived the difficult journey is nothing short of miraculous, and a testament to the care this prospector paid to his life-saving sourdough while climbing through frost-bitten mountain trails. These men travelled thousands of miles in search of their fortune up in the frozen Bonanza country, panning for gold and living off the land. Skookum has grown and thrived in incredibly rough conditions, and when he's "brewing" the smell in the jar will burn the hair off your nose. Feed him a lot and he'll explode from the container, but feed him a little and he'll be one of the sourest sourdoughs on the market. J. Davenport’s Famous Sourdough Starter has an ever-expanding range of premium, historic, and extremely active dried sourdough starters. From sourdoughs that fed the French Revolution to sourdoughs that defined the San Francisco Gold Rush, we supply an impressive library of important, historical, and delicious sourdough starters. We believe that the magic of a good sourdough isn’t just in the baking, but also in the decades or centuries of its cultivation and survival. Our sourdough starters each tell their own unique story and have their own important places in history, and these amazing stories can now include your family! Every order comes complete with a packet of the finest quality J. Davenport’s Famous Sourdough Starter (dried and triple pulverized for easy rehydration), and a pamphlet that tells the marvelous story and history of your specific starter. This pamphlet also includes instructions for how to revive and grow your starter, gives you tips and hints for growing the strongest starter, and also includes a 5-star recipe to take the guesswork out of what to bake. Our sourdough starters are 100% guaranteed to grow, as long as you follow the directions in your pamphlet.
