Tucked into the skyscrapers of Downtown Tulsa is a bakery specializing in sourdough.
“The key about sourdough, it’s all about timing,” co-owner Lawrence MacAlpine said.
As chance would have it, timing was also the key to the MacAlpine family’s move to Tulsa.
Lawrence and Breanna were living in Maine a few years ago.
“It was quite dead and cold in Maine at the time,” Lawrence said, “It was the middle of winter, so Tulsa looked pretty good compared to that.”
When Lawrence suggested a move to Tulsa, Breanna was shocked.
“Like it felt really random. I had never been to Tulsa before,” Breanna said.
The Tulsa Remote program caught their eye, and they moved to Green Country.
“We tried out Tulsa, and we really fell in love right away,” Breanna said.
After some test runs and some encouragement from friends, the MacAlpines opened up Slate Sourdough.

Sourdough wasn’t just some arbitrary choice. They see it as something very special.
