Prune is 5 years old. She was born in Canada. She’s not picky about her food and drink: spelt, rye, atta, all purpose, water, beer, milk, yogurt and I think there was once some onion too.

1847 – comes from a culture that is claimed sources back to around CA during the gold rush – (because this is Reddit: I’m sure its impossible to 100% authenticate, but I don’t care as it’s a very unique tasting culture that’s not fussy and I got it from a sourdough heritage project that I got ahold of and they sent me some)
