Swartz Creek's Motto Is "Where Friendships Last Forever." That's Basically Our Business Model Too.

Swartz Creek's official motto is "Where Friendships Last Forever," and once you've spent any time there, it's easy to see why it stuck. It's a small city that runs on the same thing a lot of small bakeries run on too: people who keep coming back, week after week, because something's actually worth returning for.
Built the Same Way
Renegade Sourdough doesn't have a loyalty program or a punch card. It has regulars. Every loaf is wood-fired and slow-fermented by hand in Mount Morris, made the same honest way every single week, which is exactly why people keep showing up for it on Tuesdays.
The Drive from Swartz Creek
Whether you remember Sports Creek Raceway from years back or you're just used to taking I-69 at Miller or Morrish Road, Mount Morris is a straightforward drive from Swartz Creek. It's the kind of trip that becomes routine fast, the same way a favorite bakery becomes routine in any town.
What You'll Find
Real sourdough starts with a live starter and takes 18 to 24 hours to ferment properly, no shortcuts, no dough conditioners, no artificial sourness. Everything is baked in a wood-fired oven and picked up in person every Tuesday in Mount Morris, cash or tap-to-pay, with about a week's lead time on orders.
Some towns build their reputation on loyalty. Renegade Sourdough is happy to be part of Swartz Creek's.

About the Baker
Merrit is the baker behind Renegade Sourdough. A self-taught fire-and-flour obsessive who traded modern shortcuts for wild fermentation and a hand-built wood-fired oven.
