Modern grains have been bred by scientists to maximize yield, but this has come at the cost of soil health, environmental sustainability, nutrition, and flavor. In spite of those issues, modern varieties comprise nearly all of today’s global grain production.

Our heritage grains offer richer flavor, higher nutrition, and deeper historical authenticity than modern wheat thanks to their unique genetics, deeper root systems, and direct connection to original farming traditions. Reviving and maintaining these rare varieties help restore soil health, preserve biodiversity, and strengthen local and global food security. For more details, please read our full summary about what makes heritage grains so much better than modern varieties.

Yes! But keep in mind that you will likely need to make some adjustments based on grain variety, flour type (whole vs. sifted), and recipe. To help make this easy, we have this guide on how to bake with our grains. We also have a growing collection of recipes for you to enjoy that feature our grains.

We ship retail orders via USPS Flat Rate boxes in 4-lb and 20-lb increments (weights are approximate). See our Store page for details.

We also sell larger quantities with bulk/wholesale pricing. We can arrange freight shipping for you, or if you are interested in local/regional pickup options, please contact us.

While yields can vary slightly by grain variety and milling texture, 1 pound (about 450 grams) of raw heritage wheat berries will generally produce a little over 3 cups of fresh-milled flour.

Whole grain berries are remarkably shelf-stable when stored properly. For short-term use (a few months), keeping them in a cool, dry pantry in a sealed container is usually all you need.

For long-term storage (6–12+ months or more), we recommend a few simple upgrades:

• Use an airtight, food-grade container

  A sealed plastic bucket (food-grade) or glass container works great. The key is limiting exposure to air and moisture. We prefer food-grade 5-gallon buckets for storage, as each bucket can hold over 25 pounds of raw grain. For lids, we recommend these twist-top lids, which make opening and closing quick and easy: https://amzn.to/41PmfOG (Disclosure: This is an affiliate link, which helps support our work at no additional cost to you.)

• Keep them cool and dry

  Store in a place with stable, lower temperatures. Avoid garages or sheds with big temperature swings.

• Add a moisture absorber (optional, but helpful)

  If you want to go the extra mile, a small food-safe desiccant pack can help control humidity inside the container.

• Protect from pests

  A tightly sealed bucket also prevents insects from getting in. Some people even freeze grain for 3–5 days before storage to eliminate any potential pests.

When stored this way, whole grain berries can last years while maintaining quality. That’s one of the beautiful things about heritage grains. They’re a true pantry staple you can rely on.

We encourage people to mill their own flour at home because that leads to the freshest, most flavorful and nutritious flour. But if you aren’t interested in home milling, then you can buy our grain flour from our partner mill here.

We have a complete guide to home mills available as one of our blog posts here where you can see all of our recommendations and other helpful information for home milling.

Our grain is cleaned multiple times to deliver exceptional quality. It is first cleaned during harvest by the combine, then again through our dedicated grain cleaner. Select lots are cleaned a third time using our color-sorting machine for added consistency and purity. While small amounts of natural field material such as chaff or stem pieces may occasionally remain, they are minimal and harmless. We take great care to provide clean, food-grade grain that is ideal for milling, baking, and everyday kitchen use.

We are currently in the process of becoming certified organic. As a small and growing business, this process takes time, but we are making steady progress. In the meantime, the majority of our grains are grown by trusted partner farmers who are fully certified organic. A small portion comes from some of our fields which are not yet certified, but are managed using careful, regenerative practices. We never use harsh chemicals like glyphosate.

Our farm is located near Endicott, Washington in the Palouse region of southeast Washington State. We also have a small network of partner growers here in the Palouse who help us raise our heritage grains.
