How it does good
Grain is a staple in many diets, so it's no surprise that modern manufacturing expanded to make production bigger and faster, often at the expense of small farmers and their communities. Maine Grains is out to change all that, putting chemical-free farming and a stone milling process back where they started in the Northeast. They support their community in growing crops sustainably, creating jobs while revitalizing the environment. Their focus on traditional practices allows them to provide local bakeries and breweries with great-tasting products and promote soil revitalization with grains as a natural weed deterrent. Their commitment to conservation began with recycling an old jailhouse as a gristmill and led to their becoming a zero-waste facility.

United StatesHealthy eating
To be the first time I have used any of your products I was pleasantly surprised. Because of my arthritis I was looking a better flour to bake with. I tried the blueberry bread on the label and totally enjoyed it.
United StatesHave not used it yet, I know it'll be great, do you sell a larger bag. Thank you !
United StatesGrandkids Approved and Classics for Camping
Great buckwheat—stamp of approval from our grandkids when Pappy Joe makes them and adds blueberries. My wife and I enjoy them when we are out camping, come out of our tent in the morning and I start the coffee percolating and flip and serve the buckwheat pancakes with a steaming mug of coffee—of course I add the blueberries before flipping.
United StatesLocally made and gluten free!
I was so excited to find a local source of this flour! I mainly use it to replace graham flour in my gluten free crackers and bread, but I see some ployes in my future and am definitely going to try the blueberry bread (with Maine blueberries, of course) from the recipe on the back.
