Our Favorite Flour for Baking
One of the secrets to this amazing dough is starting with exceptional flour. After years of searching for the perfect flour to stock in our Farm Store, we found it! We love the organic bread and all-purpose flours from Niobrara Grain + Milling out of Valentine, Nebraska.
Their wheat is organically grown and milled on a traditional Unifine Mill, creating an incredibly fine, fluffy flour that produces light, airy baked goods with wonderful texture and flavor.
If you're local, stop by the Farm Store and pick up a bag! Not nearby? We also offer an amazing Organic Heritage Wheat Flour from a fourth-generation Minnesota family farm, also milled in small batches on a Unifine Mill. Order Sunrise Flour Mill items through our Online Farmers Market Shop and have it delivered right to your door.
