How it does good
Farming grains can consume a lot of resources. So when the founders of Hayden Flour Mills started their mill, they were determined to make it more sustainable and better for everyone. By choosing ancient, drought-resistant grains, Hayden Flour Mills is able to reduce the amount of water they use while farming. Since environmentally conscious practices are built right into the company's mission, they've also created the only solar paneled stone mill in the U.S. And they're going even further by cleaning their grains on the same campus as their mill, making their carbon footprint even smaller.

Hayden Flour Mills
The legend goes that in 1868, Charles Hayden was making his way up North when he was waylaid by dangerously high waters on the Salt River. While waiting for the waters to subside, he stood on top of Tempe Butte and looked out on the fertile land surrounding him, envisioning an ideal spot to establish Hayden Flour Mills. More than 100 years later, Hayden Flour Mills is re-creating Mr. Hayden’s vision. By growing the same heritage grains on the same land, they are bringing back a time when flour was non-hybridized, minimally processed and flavorful.
