Root to Rise Farm Sourdough Microbakery

Flour, water, salt, and time

humble ingredients, mixed with intention, baked with care, and made to gather around

Lizzie has spent years mastering the art of sourdough baking and offers her craft through The Field Share and at our farmstand from June-October. In the off-season, when the farmstand is closed, she offers 6-week Sourdough Bread CSAs.

Our upcoming November Sourdough CSA has just launched! Join us here:

November 6-Week Sourdough Bread CSA
$57.00

Frost on the fields, woodsmoke in the air, and a warm loaf on the counter that crackles as it cools. It's the season for thick slices under a pat of salted grass-fed butter, bread torn beside a pot of soup, and that sneaky oatmeal cookie with your coffee before the sun comes up.

Our November Sourdough CSA brings all of that, and more, to your kitchen every week: slow-fermented, naturally leavened, and made by hand right here on the farm in Guildhall.

What's new this year:

We've made a few changes to give you more ease, flexibility, and choice. This season, the CSA runs through Hotplate, so you'll order, add extras, and choose your pickup all in one place, with no forms or back-and-forth emails.

How it works:

For $57 upfront, you get six delicious weeks of a fresh loaf of bread. Every Wednesday, a new menu gets texted out to members via Hotplate for the following week, and orders close on Friday. When the menu arrives, you have the ability to choose one of our cornerstone loaves for the week:

  • Traditional Boule: crackly crust, open crumb, our signature loaf

  • Country White Sandwich Loaf: soft, sliceable, and made for toast and lunchboxes

Want more than just bread? I’ve got you.

The weekly menu is full of sourdough extras like muffins, sticky buns, scones, and cookies, all available to add to your order à la carte. Everything is sourdough, long-fermented, seasonal, and made with ingredients sourced as locally as possible, many grown by our NEK farm friends.

Pickup, your way, every week
Busy schedules that change from week to week? No sweat. You can choose the pickup day/ location that works best for you when you order. Pickups are available Tuesday and Wednesday at the farm in Guildhall or in Lyndonville.

Week 2 – 11/10 &11
Week 3 – 11/17 & 18
Week 4 – 11/24 & 25

Because bread was always meant for sharing…

In October, 2025 Lizzie launched her Community Sourdough Program in response to the government limiting access to SNAP benefits across the country. This is a program in which grassroots donations, anywhere from $1-$5, goes directly to helping Lizzie cover the cost of ingredients that she then uses to bake and donate at least 10 high quality sourdough loaves a week. This bread is then distributed to neighbors experiencing food insecurity through the Lyndonville and Gilman, VT Food Banks.

She has currently baked and donated over 400 loaves of fresh sourdough bread to her partners at her local Vermont Food Banks and continues these efforts because we believe everyone deserves high-quality food received with dignity and respect.

Here are some of the things she is currently baking…
