Pence Farm Sourdough

My girlfriend and I absolutely love sourdough bread, and well honestly, bread in general. That said we’re always on the hunt for a good local spot wherever we go. Anytime we travel to a new area, we make a point to seek out small bakeries or mom-and-pop shops, because that’s where the real magic happens, the kind of goodies that feels like it came from someone’s soul, not a factory. That’s exactly what we found at Pence Farm Sourdough. We’ve been visiting since pretty close to their opening days, and even though we don’t live full-time in Sonora, we make it a point to swing by every time we’re in town. It’s become one of those rituals, the type of stop that you genuinely look forward to when you’re headed up the hill. The bread speaks for itself, but getting to know Jim and Sunny and see

Yes!! I love watching small family owned businesses grow! They went from home sales and farmers markets and now to a store front. I am so happy for them! They deserve it, and we like having more access to their products. I will miss the homemade honey, but so glad to see the sourdough side of the business expand. Fresh bread daily and made and served with love. Today, we scored some cinnamon roll style foccassia bread that was absolutely delightful! You can see the pride and dedication through the service, the quality, and the cleanliness.

My family and fiends look forward to their Pence Sourdough Bread every week. It is by far the best and most creative sourdough in the area. My husband loves the one with Gouda and also Jalapeño and Cheddar!

We love Pence Farm! All their breads are delicious, but I especially love their jalapeno cheddar bread. They do an amazing job. Very cute storefront and good vibe if you want to sit and eat. I also recently tried their avocado toast and it's honestly the best avocado toast I've ever had. 10/10, highly recommend.

The best sourdough in California ngl. Their sourdough bread has a crispy hard crust and a moist soft inside. I do not recommend refrigeration unless afterward you get the oven to help toast it after some refrigeration.
