About Our Flour
Where it all begins...
The grains we grow, and then mill, are steeped in heritage and tradition. Baking with our flour products brings you back in time to the age of whole, healthful foods. Foods that your great-grandparents would recognize.
Chris and I work extremely hard to take care of our soil, nurture the crops with organic practices and patiently wait until they are ripe enough to harvest. This is a stark contrast to modern agricultural practices of "forcing" crops. The grains we produce are infinitely more flavourful than any other grain or flour product on the market. From time to time, when our own grain stores run low or because of a bad growing year, we will purchase supplementary grains from certified organic friends and neighbours. These grains are mostly Rye and Spelt where we haven't focused our acreage on growing those grains and they are never modern varieties. We are steadfastly free of "modern wheat" on our farm!
Enhancing that natural flavour is the way we mill the grains. We use stone mills, slowly grinding an entire kernel of ancient wheat into flour that is smacking with aroma and bursting with flavour.
The other reason our flours are so flavourful is the fact that they are milled in such small batches almost daily. The day before Saturday markets we are busy here on the farm milling grains!
Organic. Heirloom. Fresh.
