Join us at Brot Bakehouse in Fairfax, Vermont, for a three-day immersive workshop taught by Heike Meyer to explore this craft. Together, we’ll travel the full journey of sourdough, from grain to loaf, with a focus on freshly milled, organic grains sourced from the Northeast. Over the three days, you’ll mix, fold, shape and bake a variety of breads and pastries using different starter cultures and regional flours. Along the way, you’ll discover how different grains bring depth, texture and complexity to your baking—and how to harness their unique characteristics.Beyond mastering the fundamentals of fermentation and starter care, we’ll dive into the alchemy of sourdough and explore both traditional and alternative grains. To do so, we may work with starter cultures made from einkorn, rye, buckwheat, whole wheat, emmer and/or rice to make loaves, muffins, cookies, flatbreads and more. Some will be naturally gluten free; all will be driven by flavor.Heike Meyer is one of a small handful of certified bread sommeliers. Like a wine sommelier, a bread sommelier is a specialist who has extensive knowledge of bread, including its history, grains, milling, production processes, nutritional value and sensory aspects such as texture, flavor and aroma. During the weekend, we’ll take advantage of this depth and range of knowledge via two dedicated tasting sessions. You’ll learn how to taste bread with intention and pair it creatively, ultimately highlighting its flavors alongside local cheeses, spreads and seasonal accompaniments.By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with a strong foundation in sourdough baking, a new starter culture to carry on at home and fresh inspiration for bringing bread to the table in innovative, flavorful ways. Comprehensive handouts and recipes will ensure your continued journey from field to crumb.LOCATION: Brot Bakehouse School and Kitchen is located in Fairfax, Vermont and is about 30 minutes from Burlington.TRANSPORTATION: Tickets for this workshop do not include transportation.

They offer small, hands-on classes that combine technical instruction with the alchemy of fermentation. Set in a working bakery between Lake Champlain and Vermont’s Green Mountains, their classes blend high-quality teaching with European hospitality and a serene setting. Expect to get your hands in the dough, be challenged, and leave with a deeper appreciation for flour, wild yeasts, and the world of natural baking.About Heike Meyer: Born in Berlin and raised in northern Germany, Heike has been baking since childhood and has trained with master bakers around the world. In 2011, she founded Brot Bakehouse School and Kitchen in Vermont as a place to build community and honor the centuries-old craft of bread. Driven by curiosity and a deep respect for the craft, Heike went on to study with some of the world’s most respected bakers, including Jeffrey Hamelman, Chad Robertson, Nicolas Supiot, and Dave Miller, among many others. In 2024, she graduated from the German Academy for Professional Bakers, earning the rare distinction of becoming a Certified International Bread Sommelier—one of only a handful worldwide. The following year, Heike proudly represented the United States at the World Bread Sommelier Championships, where she was honored as a Finalist among the best in the world.Heike continues to share her belief that bread is more than food—it is connection, culture, and taste.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/7455be30-c5ee-11f0-a796-85543d726026-rimg-w1200-h675-dca59278-gmir.jpg FAQsIs this an in-person event?Yes.
