Simple Ingredients
Freshly milled local, organic flour, spring water, wild yeast and sea salt is the simple foundation of all our breads.
Slow Fermentation
Our breads are crafted by hand using traditional methods for optimal development and the best possible flavor.
Local and Organic
We are committed to sourcing seasonal ingredients from local farms and businesses whenever available.
THE BREADERY
We converted a small garage on our farm into a commercial kitchen and this has grown into a place where nutritious sourdough breads and baked goods are made.
Our process:
- Stone Milled Whole Grain Flours
- Naturally leavened sourdough breads
- Breads are baked in a wood-fired oven
Why Whole Grains Are Important
Stone-ground flours are more nutritionally sound because they contain the whole grain: the endosperm, the germ and the bran. Normally sifted out, these are the parts of the wheat berry that hold a lot of flavor too.
High temperatures associated with roller milling can destroy healthy oils and amino acids found in the germ, whereas stone milling is a much cooler milling process that retains all of the wheat’s vitamins and nutrients.
Stone milling local wheat into fresh flour allows for all of this goodness to be translated into delicious breads and flours to bake at home with.
Eating whole grains in our diets also keeps our gut microbes happy and results in a lower glycemic index to aid in digestion.

Why Stone Mill?
“In short: Flavor, Nutrition, and Connection
Freshly ground flour retains more flavor and aromas than pre-ground flour, translating to a more complex, aromatic, and delicious baked good. Stone milling grinds the bran and germ into the flour along with the endosperm, keeping valuable nutrients in the flour.”
