Annie Clapper of The Family Crumb

 
 

On this episode of The Sourdough Podcast, Annie Clapper joins me from her home and cottage bakery in Bentonville, Arkansas. We discuss her unique path to cottage baking from the documentary that initially inspired her, to selling at a farmer’s market within months of baking her first sourdough loaf. We talk about the evolution of her bakery, vegan baking, pandemic pivots, as well as her bakery coaching classes. Annie’s a wealth of information on all things cottage bakery and has some great advice for new bakers. 

Annie is a Chicago transplant living in Bentonville, Arkansas where she operates her cottage bakery The Family Crumb. Annie started her bakery in 2018 and has been an active member of the sourdough Instagram community where we’ve been friends for several years. She joins me today for our first IRL conversation.
