Sunrise vs. Big Flour

Start with what’s in the bag and what you can trace back to the field.

Sunrise Flour Mill
A Typical Store-Brand
All-Purpose Flour
FLAVOR
Turkey Red, a variety from before 1950. Bakers describe it as nutty, rich, silky, wholesome.
Bred for yield and uniformity. Blended across many farms and crop years to hit one protein number.
CLEAN
Certified USDA Organic, grown without glyphosate. Unbleached, unbromated, no added enrichment or enzymes.
Bleached wheat flour, niacin, iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid.
FRESH
Milled in Minnesota in small batches, with the milling date printed on every bag.
No milling date on the bag.
CRAFT
Grown with CEAD Farms in Vona, Colorado. Fourth-generation and farmer owned.
No farm named.

Our flour is never bleached or bromated. The pale color comes from the wheat’s own endosperm.

And in the bite? What a baker said:

“I noticed the difference with my first batch of bread. The dough had a smooth slick texture that baked up into beautiful loaves & the aroma was so intense as was the flavor.”

“I just love this flour you smell, feel and taste the freshness of it”

Kimberly F., customer review

Freshly milled flour has a distinctive aroma, and it is one of the first things our customers notice.

Linda★★★★★
Flour has really enhanced my starter. So fine and smells great

“Fresh flour is so much more enjoyable to work with, tastes FAR better, and brings life to the food.”

Ebenezer S., verified review

Milled in small batches rather than held in bulk storage, and every bag carries the date it was milled.

“This flour is finer than conventional flour. It makes all my baking taste lighter too.”

Gloria B., verified review

Turkey Red is a pre-hybridization variety, not the modern hybrids most all-purpose flour is milled from.

Why It Costs
What It Costs

The wheat is the starting point. Our white flour is milled from Turkey Red, a heritage variety grown long before the modern hybrids.

01

Turkey Red yields less per acre

This variety typically yields less per acre, which makes it more expensive to grow. What you get back is a wheat with distinctive flavor and baking characteristics.

02

Milled fresh

Milled in small batches and shipped soon after, rather than held in storage.

03

Certified organic

USDA Organic and Non-GMO, grown without glyphosate, unbleached, unbromated, with no added enrichment or enzymes.

Grown with CEAD Farms, run by a fourth-generation wheat farmer, and milled in small batches in Minnesota.
