All About Desert Rose Sourdough
Our Story
Here at Desert Rose Sourdough, we believe that baking is an art and food should nourish, not harm. Call me your hearth mother, Lady Embergrain, the founder and sole baker, marketing director, homeschool teacher, milk maker, chicken tender, housekeeper, dishwasher, kitty and tiny human raiser, along with all the other things our beautiful little 1 1/2 acre high desert homestead needs! I started my wellness journey over 10 years ago as an eco-friendly salon owner, providing one of the most unique eco-friendly and luxury salon environments the salon industry offered. Then, while the world seemed to stop in time, our family began to grow, and I wanted to provide healthier options for my family. In 2021, while raising my babies, I found my way into the world of wild yeast leavens.
The artistic nature and challenge of creating organic artisan sourdough baked goods filled a creative longing in my soul after leaving the salon industry, while the health benefits and simple ingredients brought comfort to our family, knowing we were giving our children real whole food that can be beneficial to the gut biome. After a year of friends and family urging me to sell my bread, I did a few farm stands and sold out within a couple of hours each time. So, after a year of recipe testing and a total kitchen renovation, we officially launched Desert Rose to the public in October 2025.
We are a multi-allergy family, and my goal in being a dye-free, nut-free, vegan friendly business was to ensure that both myself and my babies could eat everything I was baking. I wanted to provide delicious traditional sourdough baked goods to families who normally cannot partake in the delights from artisan bakeries. I have had allergy families, gluten-sensitive families, special needs families, and cancer families find their way to me. They share their stories with me, and it is an absolute honor and privilege to provide real foods that nourish all of our clients. I am humbled by this experience; I never imagined when I started this journey as a bread dealer slinging sourdough to the neighbors that I would be so deeply moved by our clients' stories and called even deeper to create a more robust menu of vegan friendly baked goods, nut-free, dye-free desserts, and organic sourdough bread recipes with cleaner, healthier options to processed 'foods' and sugars. I hope to provide baked goods to our community so that the most sensitive persons can still enjoy all the sweetness life has to offer.
What an honor it is to witness your stories and meet the needs of our clients wherever you are on your wellness journey! We hope you enjoy the infusion of folklore and satire, most definitely very Bridgerton inspired. We hope it brings a smile or chuckle reading digital words kissed by an ancient parlance. May it nourish you well.
Your hearth mother,
Lady Embergrain

Our Products
While we offer monthly bread harvests in multiple cities across Southern California, we are proud to be the exclusive provider of organic sourdough bread for Acton California's beloved family farm, DeBellis Ranch. DeBellis is open most Saturdays from 9 am to sunset. Each Saturday, our artisan bakery stocks the bakery rack with fresh baked sourdough artisan goods made from high-quality and organic ingredients. Items are baked within 24 hours or less, and we often sell out, so we recommend arriving early! You can place a pre-order for $50 or more in DSR products. Additionally, vegan friendly baked goods can also be pre-ordered most weeks.
