Welcome
Hi, I’m Mariah
Welcome to TheFarmChicken! I am a Jesus saved, farm wife, mother, Nutrition and Dietetic Technician, Registered (NDTR), recipe creator (LOVE sourdough!), chicken lady, and children’s book author!
I started baking at a young age. I am so thankful for the time my mom took to encourage us to learn in the kitchen. I loved baking treats for the weekend, and my sister and I would trade off every other weekend making a fun dessert! Such good memories.
Fast forward to today and sourdough has overtaken my kitchen and in the best way!
Why Sourdough?
Sourdough is such a fun journey! It takes a little time and patience, but it is so worth it for the wonderful things you can create! I love that it is not only delicious, but sourdough is a healthier option to feed my family.
I am so glad you are here! I want this to be a beautiful farm inspired space where people can come and learn about sourdough and also learn skills like pie making or the sourdough croissant. A space where they can see a slice of farm life along the way!
What you’ll find on TheFarmChicken:
- Helpful resources, printables, and instructions, to learn how to create and use an active and bubbly sourdough starter.
- Fun, simple and some challenging sourdough recipes! A whole collection to keep you feeling inspired for your next bake!
- A little bit of supper inspiration…who doesn’t love inspiration on what to make WITH their sourdough bread…I mean…soup and sourdough bread. THE BEST!
- A slice of farm life, from different crops we grow to my flock of hens!
- Oh, and be sure to check out my children’s book I wrote…The Farm Chicken’s New Shoes

My Favorite Bread Recipe
Where this all began + My first loaf
I found a love for sourdough baking right before, (like literally a month before) it became popular during the 2020 Pandemic. My first loaf? It was sad to say the least ha! Dense, super sour and in need of improvement! Now I love helping new sourdough bakers troubleshoot and go from a so, so loaf to a beautiful fluffy and crusty loaf!

And isn’t it cool that sourdough and bread are referenced in the Bible:
“A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.”
Galatians 5:9
