“For pasta, Red Russian (English Redhead™) is probably the best wheat you can use, and the flavor of the pasta — just cooked on its own with no accompaniment — was like nothing I had ever tasted.”

“Thank you for taking the time to provide a product that is both healthy and delicious. Several years ago, I was diagnosed with celiac disease and was told to strictly avoid gluten, even exposure to flour dust. After some time, I began questioning the diagnosis when I didn’t experience symptoms after accidentally consuming gluten. Despite still testing positive, my doctor encouraged me to try high-quality flours and monitor how I felt. So I began milling my own grain at home, and that was six years ago. Since then, I’ve had no issues. Heritage grains have been an important part of this journey. It doesn’t surprise me because so many modern breads are highly processed, but this is real food.”

— Cindy, home baker, Vashon Island, WA
