OUR STORY
Keeping it in the Family
A few years ago, Ivy attended a sourdough workshop with her mother and (then) newborn daughter, Evelyn, in a quest to get back to the basics when it came to the health of her family. While her journey into the world of sourdough bread making may have began with a simple recipe and a mother-daughter shared passion for culinary exploration, has since grown into so much more.
Since the first loaf of sourdough bread came out of the oven, the Spotted Acres Farm family has been addicted to everything sourdough. After sharing with neighbors, family, and friends, Ivy was encouraged to get licensure to go further. In May 2024, Ivy began selling sourdough breads, scones, and crackers in business parking lots and via front-porch pickups. The business really expanded once Spotted Acres Farm attended their first farmers market - the Northeast WA Farmer's Market - in Colville, WA. Throughout the summer of 2024, they made waves within the community, gaining press and business attention.
In November of 2024, Spotted Acres Farm was granted a Food Processor license through the WSDA, allowing them to expand their reach even further into grocery stores, retail shops, restaurants, and beyond. Today you can find Spotted Acres Farm's specialty sourdough products in many places throughout the Eastern WA community, but their dedication to keeping things "in the family and for the family" remains the same.
Ivy still makes every sourdough item you will find on shelves, all while staying home with her now toddler. Behind the scenes, Ivy's parents, husband, in-laws, and other friends/family members assist in making the business what it is today. From deliveries, labeling, child-care, late-night dough checks, and beyond, it is a true village behind the Spotted Acres Farm name.
