That is our philosophy as well! No need to overcomplicate things.😊❤️

One of my former sourdough students Kim van Steertegem had her loaves rising in bannetons in the fridge when she evacuated due to approaching fires. She was able to bake them SIX DAYS LATER! Surprisingly her loaves still had a fairly strong gluten network! Of course, they were quite “tangy” and because of the long, albeit involuntary fermentation, very easy on the digestive system! Great successful experiment with these “fire loaves”!😊❤️

Saturday, June 6th for Town & Country Days, we will be setting up a table in front of the The BreadHaus where you get to clean, grind and sift your own flour from locally sustainably grown wheat, generously donated by our friends, the Eckhart Farms family! You can do this while waiting for your delicious Waterloo Ranch burger from the “Locally Grown Grub” food truck which will be conveniently parked right in front of the BreadHaus!😊❤️

The lady Barbara who was intimated by the sourdough process, produced a lovely loaf and a healthy starter after our workshop yesterday. Her words: “Thank you, Sibyl, for the super fun day and for opening a whole new baking world to me!”
LOVE, LOVE it when people recognize the ease and benefits of making their own sourdough bread!😊💃

Waterloo Ranch “Locally Grown Grub” truck will be in the Bread Encounters parking lot on June 6th for Town and Country Days. Grab yourself one of their delicious burgers and stop by at the BreadHaus for a hands-on milling experience of locally grown grain while you wait. 😊

Locally Grown Grub is the food wagon owned and operated by Thomas & Jenn, the founders and operators of Waterloo Ranch in Rice, Washington. At Locally Grown Grub we specialize in scratch-made food featuring Waterloo Ranch lamb and beef and ingredients from other local producers. Waterloo Ranch retail lamb and beef cuts are also be available for purchase at the Locally Grown Grub food wagon. (To be certain we will have the cuts you’re looking for, reserve them in the online Ranch Shop, and we’ll make sure we have them ready for you!)

Our menu is always changing but if you see the Locally Grown Grub food wagon out in the wild, you can rest assured we have our renowned Waterloo Burger available. Our signature burger is made with Waterloo Ranch beef and served up on a Small Batch SOURdough roll with cheddar cheese and our secret Waterloo Sauce. Come see us and find out why so many say it’s the best burger they’ve ever eaten.

Be sure to follow our Newsletter and page so you don’t miss frequent updates to Locally Grown Grub menu offerings, and service times and locations. If you have questions about services, menu offerings, and/or catering, feel free to email us at [email protected].
