"My family can't get enough of this sourdough"
who we are
I’m Nicole Bowlus, the owner of Wild Yeast Wanders. I am a passionate advocate for gut health and healthy living.
I’m married to my High School sweetheart husband, who works in the health care field, and together, we’re raising two amazing daughters.
Our family is deeply committed to sustainable living, which is why we transformed our yard into a flourishing food forest, growing nutritious foods that benefit both our health and the environment.
After handing in my badge as a probation officer, I decided to pursue my passion for wellness and nutrition. Today, I run a gut health business, dedicated to helping others nourish their bodies from the inside out.
I’m passionate about empowering others with knowledge and healthy food options. I aim to inspire and support others on their wellness journeys, helping them achieve a vibrant, healthy life.
how it started
My journey into baking started from a simple yet profound realization: the ingredients in many of the foods we consume daily aren’t as natural as they seem. I began reading food labels more carefully and was shocked by how many hidden, processed ingredients were included under different names. It felt like food companies were trying to hide things that didn’t belong in our bodies.
As a mom, a cook, and someone who cares deeply about the food we eat, I wanted better options for my family—food that was wholesome, nourishing, and made with love, without all those artificial additives. That’s when I discovered the art of sourdough baking.
I learned how to cultivate a sourdough starter, and from there, everything changed. What started as a simple experiment to provide healthier, homemade bread quickly turned into a passion for creating something special—bread made with only the finest, purest ingredients.
Over time, what began as a small kitchen project grew into Wild Yeast Wanders. My mission has always been to share that love of wholesome, hand-crafted sourdough with others. It’s about more than just bread; it’s about going back to the roots of food, where quality matters and flavor speaks for itself. From our starter to our loaves, everything is made with care and transparency, so you can enjoy delicious bread that you can feel good about eating.
our goal
My goal is to empower individuals and families by providing affordable and healthier food options through education. I aim to teach people how to make delicious, wholesome sourdough breads and other baked goods, fostering a deeper connection to the food they eat while supporting healthier lifestyles for their loved ones.
