🥖Meet the maker behind the incredible sourdough breads at The Station!
The Artisian Loaf
Meet the baker behind every loaf ❤️👩🍳
Hi, I'm Irlib Taylor.
More than five years ago, what started as simple curiosity became one of the greatest passions of my life: sourdough.
After more than 25 years working in professional kitchens, I knew it was time to create something that truly reflected who I am.
Today, every loaf I bake is handcrafted with patience, long fermentation, and carefully selected ingredients. I love exploring flavors that surprise people, from cranberry and pistachio to matcha, coconut, pumpkin seeds, purple sweet potato, and many more.
For me, baking isn't just about making bread.
It's about slowing down.
It's about working with my hands.
It's about sharing comfort, memories, and meaningful moments around the table.
Every loaf carries a little piece of my story, and I'm grateful to share it with you.
From Clayton, North Carolina, with love. ❤️🍞
