OUR STORY<\/h1><\/div>

We\u2019re two nature-loving souls who have chosen to live in the countryside by choice. A place where eggs don\u2019t have stamps and organic produce needs no label. Where foraging and making things yourself are part of everyday life, and the main question is, \u201cAre there enough empty jars?\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Living and growing alongside nature, we have discovered sourdough. By creating new connections with old traditions, we have come back to the art of naturally leaven bread.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

A small bakery in T\u00fcri is a place where breads are made using classical methods, from the finest local organic flour and natural sourdough. We know that every product can be both delicious and nourishing. Our mission is to offer handcrafted baked goods that are not only incredibly tasty, but also support the health of the local community. <\/span><\/p>\n

We are incredibly grateful and happy that you have found us.<\/span><\/p>\n

To new flavors!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

STARTER<\/h1><\/div>

The beauty of sourdough starter lies in the fact that it is alive. Every starter is completely unique, with its own distinctive aroma and flavor. The micro-ecosystem that develops in each starter is the result of numerous environmental factors\u2014starting with the soil in which the grain was grown and ending with the air in the starter\u2019s home. <\/span><\/p>\n

Leavening with sourdough gives us a more gut-friendly bread that is easier to digest. The lactic acid bacteria active in the starter do their best to help our bodies absorb as many nutrients as possible from the bread. <\/span><\/p>\n

We have returned to the wonderful way of making bread\u2014using sourdough starter.<\/span><\/p>\n

FLOUR<\/h1><\/div>

K\u00f5ik meie k\u00fcpsetised valmivad 100% mahejahudest. Meie rukkileivad valmivad puhtalt Eestimaisest mahejahust. <\/span><\/p>\n

For us, both naturally grown food and an ecological footprint matter. This means only one thing: the ingredients must be grown organically and as close to home as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

Although our climate isn\u2019t the most favorable for growing many types of plants, we are still able to source the majority of our bread ingredients from Estonia. We are fortunate to have many farmers who continue the tradition of local agriculture. <\/span><\/p>\n

So, by enjoying Samliku Pekkeri\u2019s baked goods, you are also supporting Estonian grain farmers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

I just wanted to share my delighted feeling when your bread is right under my nose and I\u2019ve already eaten half of it, and after that, I quietly go on breaking off little pieces. During a period of my own tiredness and the responsibilities I\u2019ve taken on, your bread has been a such a joy for me. Thank you! <\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>
