our brand
Hi, I’m Ashlan.
I’m a sourdough baker turned slow-living homeschool mom who believes some of the best things in life take time—bread included.
What began as baking sourdough for my family and community grew into a love for from-scratch living, raising chickens, teaching my kids at home, and choosing a life that feels rooted instead of rushed. I’ve baked hundreds of loaves, taught sourdough classes, and learned how to balance home, work, and homeschooling—often all at once.
Golden Bloom Collective is where I share what I’ve learned along the way:
Approachable sourdough recipes
Starter troubleshooting and baking rhythms
Homesteading and chicken keeping
Homeschooling through real life
Encouragement for slow, intentional living
My hope is that this space feels like sitting at the table with a friend—practical, honest, and full of grace.
I’m so glad you’re here.
