Hello ,

One of the most frequently asked questions I receive is where to buy grain. 

Before I tell you my top picks on where to buy grain, let's discuss common questions: 

"But Annette, I thought 'wheat' was bad?" 🤔

Whether you're new to milling grain or have some experience, you'll discover valuable insights in my interview with Sue Becker "Is Wheat Bad?".  

Why do I need to mill my grain?

Milling your own grain has many advantages:

1. Nutritional Value: Freshly milled flour preserves more of its nutrients compared to store-bought alternatives. As soon as the grain is cracked open, the nutrients degrade 40-45% of the nutrients deplete after just 24 hours of the flour being milled, and 95% after 3 days. 😲
2. Freshness: Grinding grain at home allows you control over the freshness of your flour, significantly affecting the flavor and nutritional content of your baked goods.
3. Customization: You have the freedom to adjust the coarseness of the grind according to your specific baking needs, whether you’re preparing bread, pancakes, or pastries.
4. Cost Efficiency: Despite the initial investment in a grain mill, milling your own grain will save hundreds of dollars over the next 3-5 years. The savings increase every year as the cost of grocery foods continues to rise.
5. Variety: Milling your grain at home opens up a world of possibilities for experimenting with different grains and crafting unique blends for your baking endeavors.

There is no butter 😉 way to say this - when you are in control of your family's health by milling, your savings on medical expenses will be one of the greatest blessings. And you will be confident of the coming days.

Bread is mentioned over 400 times in the Bible! 

Most of us know - John 6:48 "I am the bread of life."

Think about it, why would our Lord and Savior Jesus refer to Himself as bread so often? Just as we need Him to live spiritually, we need God designed grain to have a healthy life physically. 

If you’ve never milled your own flour, here’s how to get started. 🙂

🌾Here are 3 organic grains suppliers I trust:

Azure Standard

They are a great Christian company to support and they offer wonderful service.

This family owned, independent company provides high quality, organic, natural, non-GMO groceries. They also supply garden and household supplies.

You save greatly on shipping costs. Once you sign up and add your order to the cart, it will be delivered once a month (as per your orders) to a local drop-off point. Then, as the truck arrives, your order is handed to you, along with everyone else who has ordered. It becomes great fun seeing the same people each month for delivery.

 

You can also get kitchenware items like:

• A grain mill (Grain mills are excellent investments, especially if you are interested in making your own bread at home. Here is a round-up of the best grain mills available on the market.)
• Cheesecloth

The Bread Beckers

The Bread Beckers are both an online store and a proper retail store in Georgia. They offer everything from appliances to bakeware to chef’s tools to outfit your kitchen with.

 

Looking to stock up on grains? Check out this great online store! Personally, I order several grains in buckets from them, as well as buckets and lids, for more storage. 

 

Bread Beckers have an impressive assortment of options from their store. Deliveries that save on shipping come to different areas on the East coast and south three times per year. A person is assigned to be the delivery coordinator for each location. It is a great Christian company to support.

In addition, you can show your support for the community and local farmers by purchasing locally. I would even suggest checking your local options before buying online.

You can use the website localharvest.org to find farmers near you. Simply change the city on the homepage to your hometown to see the options available. (I use this to find fruit in season!)

Finally, my friends, remember that Jesus is our Bread of Life. He will sustain us, come what may.

Here to serve you God’s love through health and nutrition!
