Fresh milled flour is fantastic for all types of baking, providing a depth of flour lacking from “old” store bought options. Fresh milled flour is for those who care about nutrition and flavor, want to use whole ingredients, or reduce reliance on grocery stores.

Store bought flour is milled weeks before it reaches your home. To make flour predictable, shelf-stable, and easy to transport commercial millers remove the bran and germ to extend shelf life then add vitamins back in later.

When we mill our flour for bread it is done immediately before it is mixed with water and salt. When we mill our flour for a customer it is done when the order is received to be available for immediate pickup.

• Deeper and fuller wheat flavor with natural sweetness.

• Retains natural B and E vitamins

• includes healthy fats for the wheat germ

• contains intact fiber that support digestion

• provides minerals in their natural form

Due to the bran and germ remaining intact the flour will start to go rancid after a few days. If not using immediately, it will need to be placed in the freezer.
