There is a multitude of advantages to utilizing freshly milled flour vs. the number of commercially available alternatives that we find on the majority of store shelves across the world today.

For starters, let's talk about the inputs (i.e. the grains) we source before the milling even begins! All of the grains we mill here at The King's Stone Mill™ are 100% Organic. We source exclusively from USDA-Certified Organic Farms. This means farms & fields that utilize crop rotation, farmers who never treat their land with glyphosate, and working alongside those who value the natural order of nature's seasons vs. the conventional commodity farming practices promoted by the institutions of "Big Agriculture." Simply put, we ensure that the creation of our signature Flour of Life™ starts well before the Seeds of Life™ have even been sown.

Wonderful, so we produce and source the highest quality artisanal grains...then what comes next? This is where the ancient art of the stone milling truly shines. All of our flours and Maize (corn) products are milled using a traditional technique known as "Stone Milling," an art that has been all but lost in the modern age. Most commercially-available flour and corn products are produced using industrial steel roller mills, which do not allow for the nutritional superiority of the slower-paced stone milling process, responsible for transforming a whole grain wheat "berry" into its milled flour form, while fully absorbing and retaining the entirety of its inherent nutritional components.

Industrial flour mills essentially separate out all three of the primary components of a wheat berry (i.e. the wheat's bran, endosperm, and germ) before all of these components are individually isolated and moved along the production line for additional "sifting." What is left is a mechanically sterilized, nutrient-devoid, shelf-stable product that is produced with the intention of being able to sit on shelves for periods of time well beyond what the natural order ever intended!

While we do also offer "bolted" (i.e. sifted) flour and corn products in addition to our Whole Grain offerings at The King's Stone Mill™, we do so by beginning with a whole-grain milled flour to ensure that all of our sifted mill goods retain the utmost amount of their naturally occurring nutritional content and flavorful freshness before our sifting process even begins.

Did you know that industrial flour manufacturers are legally required to "fortify" the flour before it can be sold to you as a food? This is due to that fact that the product has essentially little-to-no nutrients remaining once it has been refined through an industrial processing facility and food, by its very nature, is supposed to contain nutrients! And the (not-so) funny thing is that the wheat itself already contains all of these nutrients in its unadulterated state, yet the manufacturers remove them all before selling the item as "food" to you? This is all done in order that the end customer can purchase a shelf-stable bag of what is essentially "dead flour" for the family's pantry...just patiently waiting to creep its way into everything we eat from crackers to pasta to pizza and bread.

Just wait until you find out about things like "L-Cystiene" or "Potassium Bromate." Isn't it interesting that "Potassium Bromate" is banned in more than 40 countries including Canada, Brazil, China, India, and well beyond due to its "potentially carcinogenic" status, yet somehow it's still approved for commercial use in our baking products here in the United States of America? As long as consumer behavior keeps supporting the purchase of these adulterated products, they will continue to be manufactured and brought to market for sale...day after day, year after year.

Please do not be misled by marketing gimmicks, greenwashing, and sleekly inauthentic branding designed to sow confusion amongst consumers when it comes to wheat products. The generic title of "Wheat" on your food's ingredient label without any further information is going by the wayside for the food artisans of the world. At this point in the grain, we hold all of our other foods to a high degree of traceability and accountability, so tell us...why is "wheat" any different, when it is in far more foods than our tomatoes or watermelons could ever be?

Lo and behold, we are not the only ones who feel this way, hence the reemergence of a modern day Grain Renaissance we see taking place all across the country. It's an exciting time to be alive, so let's have some fun and as it's been said...there's nothing new under the sun!

Life is too short and too sweet to spend it eating nutritionally lifeless, dead bread...no matter how good it looks (and even tastes), JUST SAY NO! There is indeed a better way!

Sprout it from the Rooftops! We mill fresh flours that are Living & Active. And they must be, as they're the driving "life force" that bears the precious gift of The Bread of Life!

We could never imagine going back to commercially-cranked flours after our eyes, ears, and mouths have been opened & we are confident that you'll feel the same way after experiencing the revelatory goodness of freshly-milled grains!

We sincerely hope that you'll join us as we collectively push forward the shift into the establishment and growth of regional grain systems in pursuit of a new grain paradigm for the future of our children's children.
