1847 Oregon Trail Sour Dough Starter

Here's a GREAT way to literally touch the past! You can order 1847 Oregon Trail Sourdough starter and keep it going! Now, how COOL is THAT?!

What a wonderful way to be a part of history. You and your family will be eating something from the same starter used in 1847!!

Send a self addressed stamped envelope (donation optional) to:

1847 Oregon Trail Sourdough Preservation Society
P.O. Box 321
Jefferson, MD 21755

In about 6 weeks (or less) you will receive a small envelope of dried starter. You may go to the website http://carlsfriends.net/ and read about the starter. Not only is this simply wonderful to have for your family, but it would make a great homeschool project, too.
