There’s nothing more satisfying than a cup of warm chili with a slice of rich cornbread on the side. Our  cornmeal makes a wonderful loaf that doesn’t crumble, and our recipe has never failed us. It’s so easy, you don’t need any special tools or mixers. Just a bowl and a spoon or fork. If you want to try something new, drizzle with local honey on top, or fold fresh kernels of corn, a can of green chiles, or berries into the batter.

Why Heritage Wheat?

Most flour is milled from modern conventional wheat varieties developed specifically for increased yield. Heritage wheat is what came before them, and it behaves like a different ingredient.

  • Older wheat

    Turkey Red and White Sonora are pre-1950s varieties, not the modern varieties most flour is milled from. Many find heritage wheat easier to digest.

  • Milled in small batches

    Milled in Minnesota and shipped within days, with the milling date printed on every bag.

  • Nothing added

    Certified organic and non-GMO, grown without glyphosate, never bleached or bromated.
