Handmade Organic Sourdough Bread in the Upper Ottawa Valley
 
Heather's Hearth

About

Hello and Welcome! I’m Heather, owner of Heather’s Hearth, an on-farm Sourdough School. In the past 12 years I have spent many weeks at a local farmer’s market selling my organic sourdough bread (baked in a wood fired oven), running bread shares and delivering it to cafes/stores and individual customers. As of October 2025 I have closed the bread production side of the business and will only be teaching workshops moving forward.

It’s my passion to pass along the skills of sourdough bread baking to other home bakers through my in person workshops. I love teaching others and welcoming you into my home to get a feel for the complex yet simple process of baking sourdough bread. Workshops will be less frequent than past years, but will still be offered when life allows.

I am also a Mom, partner and homesteader- I dabble in many different things: gardening, livestock tending, willow weaving and more! And to top it all off I became a bodyworker in 2025, specializing in a technique called myofascial release. You can go and check out that part of my life at this website HERE.

Thank-you for being here!
