In an age where convenience often takes precedence over quality, there’s a growing movement back towards traditional, hands-on methods of food preparation. One such trend is the home milling of flour. If you’re passionate about baking, cooking, or simply ensuring the best quality ingredients for your family, owning a home mill can be a game-changer. Here’s why milling your own flour with grains from 1847 Stone Milling is both beneficial and fun.

Freshness You Can Taste

One of the most significant benefits of milling your own flour is the unparalleled freshness. Commercially available flour often sits on store shelves for months, losing vital nutrients and flavours. When you mill your own grains, you have fresh flour on demand, bursting with natural oils and nutrients. The result? Your baked goods will have a depth of flavour and aroma that’s simply unmatched.

Nutritional Superiority

Freshly milled flour retains all parts of the grain—the bran, germ, and endosperm—ensuring that you get the full spectrum of nutrients. This includes fiber, vitamins, and minerals that are often lost in processed flours. Using 1847 Stone Milling’s organic grains means you’re also avoiding pesticides and chemicals, making your baking healthier and more wholesome.

Customization and Experimentation

Home milling opens up a world of possibilities for customization. You can experiment with different grains and grind sizes, creating unique flour blends tailored to your recipes. Whether it’s a fine grind for delicate pastries or a coarser texture for hearty bread, you have complete control over your ingredients. With 1847 Stone Milling’s diverse selection of grains, the potential for creativity is endless.

Fun and Educational

Milling your own flour is a rewarding process that connects you to the heritage of traditional baking. It’s a fun, hands-on activity that the whole family can enjoy. Children can learn about where their food comes from and the importance of quality ingredients. It’s also a fantastic way to deepen your understanding of baking and improve your skills in the kitchen.

Supporting Local Agriculture

By choosing 1847 Stone Milling grains, you’re supporting local farmers and sustainable agriculture. Our grains are sourced from Canada, ensuring high quality and environmentally friendly farming practices. When you mill these grains at home, you’re contributing to a more resilient local food system.

Getting Started with a Mockmill

Ready to start milling your own flour? We offer a range of Mockmills that are perfect for home use. These mills are user-friendly, durable, and designed to deliver consistently excellent results. Paired with our top-quality organic grains, you’ll be set to transform your baking.

San Fransisco – (moderate sourness)

The authentic San Francisco sourdough culture is a living heritage, boasting a special blend of Candida humilis wild yeast and Lactobacillus San Francisco bacteria. Their century-long partnership creates a unique symbiosis absent in most commercial yeasts. This harmony gives San Francisco sourdough its unmistakable tang and texture, making it a timeless classic in the world of baking. Opting for this authentic culture not only honours tradition but promises a baking experience rich in history and unparalleled flavours.

San Francisco sourdough is often recognized for its moderate sourness. It carries a tangy flavour, but it’s not as intensely sour as some other sourdough cultures found around the world. The balance between the wild yeast and the Lactobacillus San Francisco bacteria in the culture contributes to its characteristic mild to moderate sour taste. This distinguishes it from more intensely sour variations present in other sourdough cultures, offering a unique and more subtle tanginess that sets it apart.

Italian Ischia and Camoldi – (very sour)

From the birthplace of pizza in Naples, authentic Italian sourdough cultures offer a delightfully tangy experience. These strains, reminiscent of the 1800s, bring a notably sour essence to Neapolitan pizza and Italian country breads like ciabatta.

Renowned for their distinctive sourness, these cultures are exceptional contributors to the revered Neapolitan pizza tradition. Sharing similarities, they’ve been pivotal in the creation of exceptional Italian breads, infusing each bite with a taste deeply rooted in Italy’s culinary history. Their tangy character makes them essential to crafting these beloved Italian flavours, adding a unique zest that sets them apart.

Australian Tazmanian Devil – (medium)

From the picturesque surroundings near Hobart, Tasmania, comes an Australian sourdough culture that’s distinctly different. Known for its medium sourness, it’s an ideal fit for creating breads with ancient grains, especially Khorasan and spelt.

South African (medium strong to very strong sourness)

In the suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa, a versatile sourdough culture thrives, offering a range of flavours depending on its fermentation period. This culture, at times medium and occasionally very strong in taste, adapts beautifully to whole wheat, favouring pure whole wheat for its culinary creations.

Its flexibility in rising times and hydration levels allows bakers to experiment with various dough types. Particularly adept with whole wheat, it proves its prowess by leavening whole wheat bread better than its white flour counterparts. An excellent choice for home millers, it presents a nutty flavour profile, adding depth to the bread.

This South African sourdough isn’t limited to one type of grain; it pairs wonderfully with whole wheat, spelt, and Khorasan. Its origin in the suburbs of Cape Town is echoed in the culture’s adaptability and diverse range of flavours, making it a valuable asset for home bakers exploring the world of whole grain breads.

Russian

Nestled in the village of Palekh, a mere 100 miles north of Moscow, resides a distinctive Russian sourdough culture known for its exceptional speed in leavening. This culture excels in handling whole wheat, making it an ideal companion for whole grain enthusiasts.

What sets this culture apart is its adaptability, not only in traditional baking but also in modern home bread machines. Its rapid leavening makes it a valuable asset for those seeking quicker results without compromising on flavour or texture.

French Sourdough – (very mild)

Imagine a bakery on the outskirts of Paris, where time stands still, and tradition weaves into every loaf of bread. This 150-year-old bakery holds a secret—a sourdough culture that has quietly thrived, playing a silent yet essential role in the bakery’s daily rhythm.

What’s remarkable about this culture isn’t just its age but its unique character. It’s a swift riser, ensuring the daily demands of the bustling bakery are met. But what truly captivates is its taste—extraordinarily mild, a flavour that whispers rather than shouts.

This sourdough’s journey is a tale of endurance and artistry. For 150 years, it has been the silent partner in the bakery’s success, blending into the dough to create loaves that reflect a heritage of subtle, timeless flavours.

It’s a slice of history in every bite, a nod to the dedication of a bakery that has seen generations pass through its doors. This 150-year-old culture isn’t just sourdough; it’s a custodian of tradition, preserving the taste of a bygone era within each delicately mild loaf.

What sets this culture apart is its distinct sourness, a result of its unhurried fermentation process. Patience becomes a virtue as this sourdough takes its time, infusing every loaf with a tangy depth that only time can cultivate.

Hailing from the establishment’s centuries-old legacy, this Austrian sourdough represents the enduring value of tradition and the art of slow, deliberate baking. Its sourness is a testament to the rewards of patience, offering a taste that reflects the rich history and patience of its time-honoured origins.

Yukon – (medium sourness)

Straight from the heart of the Yukon, a sourdough culture traces its origins back to the early days of prospectors. With a medium flavour profile, it’s not just any sourdough—it’s the secret behind authentic Yukon sourdough flapjacks.

The allure of this culture isn’t just in its taste but in its historical significance. It’s a relic of the gold rush days, cherished by prospectors who relied on it for hearty flapjacks. Its role in this Yukon speciality connects it to a tradition that echoes the rugged spirit and resourcefulness of the region’s pioneers.

This Yukon sourdough isn’t just a culture; it’s a slice of history, preserving a culinary heritage that’s uniquely Yukon. It’s the essence of a time when flapjacks were a staple, crafted from a sourdough that symbolizes the adventurous and enterprising spirit of the Yukon’s early days.

Finnish Sourdough – (medium)

In Finland, there’s a sourdough culture that defies explanation. Its flavour and aroma are simply beyond words. Rising beautifully, it weaves an indescribable essence into each loaf, creating an experience that’s as mysterious as it is delightful.

Red Sea culture – (mild)

In the historic kitchens of Hurghada, Egypt, resides a sourdough culture from one of the oldest ethnic bakeries. This Red Sea culture boasts a mild flavour, an inheritance from a rich culinary heritage.

Its place in the heart of Middle Eastern bread-making traditions adds to its allure, creating a taste that’s not just baked but steeped in the history of an era that continues to captivate us.

Bahraini Sourdough – (very sour) 

In the land often likened to the Garden of Eden, Bahrain, there resides a sourdough culture that’s as ancient as it is remarkable. This culture, heralded as one of the oldest, rises magnificently, offering a deeply sour taste.

Bahrain, where the blend of East and West intertwines, hosts a culture that mirrors this convergence. It’s a testament to time and traditions, resonating with a flavour that harks back to ages past. A sourdough that stands as a tribute to Bahrain’s rich history, it’s a taste that carries the essence of a land where the best of both worlds converge.

Saudi Arabia – (medium)

Amidst the changing sands of time, the Bedouin of the desert have remained resolute, embodying a legacy that endures. Similarly, the Saudi sourdough culture mirrors this unyielding essence. It rises moderately, yet its flavour is among the most distinctive cultures.

As desert-born as its Bedouin bakers, this sourdough represents an unwavering link to the arid landscape.

With the unwavering support of the Grain Farmers of Ontario, we not only achieved this goal but also revolutionized the concept of pet waste management.

1. Redefining Pet Waste: From Wheat to Waste to Compost

We harnessed the often overlooked portion of wheat from the milling process and transformed it into something extraordinary: an absorbent, clumping, dust-free, and odour-free litter that is 100% compostable. This means your pet’s waste can go directly into your green bin or composter, reducing landfill waste and redefining how we perceive our pets’ environmental impact.

2. Eco-Certified Excellence

Our commitment to eco-conscious practices is not just a promise; it’s a certification. We are proud holders of the Organic Certification through Eco-Cert Canada for nine years running. Our products are:

  • Non-GMO
  • Free from Synthetic Pesticides or Herbicides

3. Recognitions and Grants

We are honoured to have received support from various organizations, such as:

  • Grain Farmers of Ontario – Grain Innovation Fund
  • Guelph Innovation Centre
    • I.D.E.A Fund
    • COIL
  • AgPartnership Open for e-business
  • Greenbelt Fund
  • Fanshawe College Community Consultancy Program

4. Quality Assurance

  • CFIA Certification
  • Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) Compliance

5. Leading the Way in 2023

We are thrilled to be recognized by Natural Products Canada as one of the top businesses in 2023, a testament to our dedication to innovation and sustainability.

6. Advocates for Change

Our commitment to environmental stewardship goes beyond our products. We actively participate in initiatives such as the Grain Farmers of Ontario’s Women in Ag Conference, where we share our insights and inspire change.

7. Champions of Environmental Excellence

We are humbled to have been awarded the Environmental Excellence Award by the Centre Wellington Chamber of Commerce, a recognition of our ongoing efforts to leave the earth a better place for future generations.

We believe in more than just providing high-quality products; we are advocates for change, stewards of the environment, and pioneers of a greener future. Join us in reimagining pet waste, one compostable litter at a time. Let’s make our planet a healthier, happier home for all.

As we dive into the second half of the summer we would like to share some valuable insights about pests and how you can safeguard your precious flour and grains from these pesky creatures. We take immense pride in our commitment to providing you with the finest quality products, and we believe it’s crucial to arm you with the knowledge you need to preserve your baking essentials during this warm and pest-prone time of the year.

Battling Summer Pests: The summer months bring not only joy and warmth but also unwelcome pests into our homes. Flour beetles, weevils, and moths are particularly notorious for infesting grains and flour, posing a serious threat to their freshness and taste. As a small flour mill, we understand the importance of protecting your ingredients from these unwanted visitors to ensure the deliciousness of your culinary creations.

The Freezing Solution: We have some fantastic news for all the home bakers and cooking enthusiasts out there! One simple and effective way to keep those pesky pests at bay is by employing your freezer. Yes, you heard that right! By placing your flour or grains in the freezer for a couple of days, you can eradicate any eggs or larvae that might make their way from the outside world in! This easy and natural method ensures that you have pest-free ingredients to work with, maintaining the integrity of your baked goods.

How Freezing Works: The process is straightforward; transfer your flour or grains into airtight containers or sealed plastic bags, if you have a smelly freezer, or directly into the freezer with the paper bags. The cold temperatures will halt the life cycle of any roaming pests, effectively stopping them in their tracks. Once the freezing time is up, remove the containers or bags from the freezer, allow them to reach room temperature, and voila! Your ingredients are safe, sound, and ready to be transformed into scrumptious delights.

The Quality Assurance: By adopting this freezing practice during the summer, you’re not only ensuring the highest quality of your baked goods but also preventing anyone else from munching on your grains or flours.

Embrace Summer Baking: Armed with the knowledge to combat summer pests, there’s no reason not to embrace the joy of summer baking! Whether you’re whipping up loaves of bread, crafting delectable pastries, or experimenting with new recipes, rest assured that your ingredients are safeguarded, thanks to the wonders of freezing.

As the summer sun graces us with its warmth, we hope you find this helpful in preserving the quality of your flour and grains. Stay tuned for more tips and updates from 1847 Stone Milling, as we continue our mission to provide you with the best baking experience possible.

Happy baking and have a wonderful summer!

At 1847 Stone Milling, we believe that the whole berry is where all the good stuff is! That’s why we make sure to use the entire berry during our milling process, leaving in all the nutritious germ, endosperm and some bran. We don’t believe in taking any shortcuts, so our flour is made by milling the whole grain, making super delicious whole wheat flours. Specifically, our “run of the mill whole wheat flour” is packed with all the good stuff like fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. And for those who want to take it to the next level, you can even mill your own grain at home and create your own unique flour blend. We are so excited to bring you the freshest and most nutritious flour. At 1847 Stone Milling we love nothing more than making delicious and nutritious flour for you to enjoy!

Whole grains are the ultimate superfood! They’ve got it all – bran, germ, and endosperm – which means they’re packed with essential nutrients like fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Plus, the fiber in whole grains helps keep our digestive system running smoothly and may even lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. And let’s not forget all the other amazing nutrients like B vitamins, iron, zinc, and magnesium. Plus, whole grains contain antioxidants and phytochemicals that have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. Eating a diet rich in whole grains not only tastes delicious but it’s also linked to lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. Plus, it may help with weight management and overall digestion. So go ahead, enjoy your whole grains and feel good about it!

Wheat contains several naturally-occurring vitamins, including:

  1. Vitamin B1 (thiamine): essential for energy metabolism and the proper functioning of the nervous system.
  2. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin): important for growth and red blood cell production.
  3. Vitamin B3 (niacin): essential for energy metabolism and the proper functioning of the nervous system.
  4. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid): important for the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters.
  5. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine): essential for protein metabolism and the formation of red blood cells.
  6. Vitamin B9 (folate): important for cell growth and the formation of red blood cells.
  7. Vitamin E: an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage.
  8. Vitamin K: important for blood clotting and bone health.

Gluten sensitivities

It is possible that gluten sensitivity may be a sensitivity to refined flours rather than gluten itself. Refined flour, also known as white flour, is made by removing the bran and germ from the wheat kernel, leaving only the endosperm. This process not only removes a significant portion of the grain’s nutritional value, but also removes the gluten-containing parts of the grain.
When the gluten-containing parts of the grain are removed, the remaining flour is often enriched with synthetic vitamins and minerals. This process can also change the structure of the gluten, making it harder for the body to digest.
Additionally, refined flours are often combined with other additives such as preservatives, emulsifiers, and other ingredients, which can cause inflammation in the gut and lead to symptoms associated with gluten sensitivity.

1847 Stone Milling does not and will never make refined flours because your health is of the utmost importance to us!

At 1847 Stone Milling, we’re all about making our fellow Canadians feel their best! We’re proud to be a part of their journey to optimal health and well-being with our delicious flours. We take pride in our milling process, organic grains, and all our milling and baking products. We’re dedicated to bringing you the best of the best, the freshest and most nutritious flour. It brings us so much joy to know that we’re helping Canadians feel their best and it’s why we do what we do. So go ahead, enjoy our flour and feel good about it!

Winter is an important season for Ontario farmland, especially when it comes to soil health.

Here are a few reasons why:

  1. Winter helps to improve soil structure. When the ground is frozen, it allows the soil to settle and compact, which can help to improve its structure and make it more fertile. This is especially important for crops like wheat, which need well-structured soil in order to grow and thrive.
  2. Winter provides a break from farming activities. During the winter months, farmers can take a break from the busy planting and harvesting seasons, which allows them to rest and recharge. This is important for maintaining their mental and physical health, as well as the health of their crops.
  3. Winter helps to control pests and diseases. Many pests and diseases that can harm crops are less active during the colder months, which can help to reduce their impact on the farmland. This is especially important for wheat, which is prone to infestations of pests and diseases.
  4. Winter helps to conserve moisture in the soil. Snow and freezing temperatures can help to conserve moisture in the soil, which is important for ensuring that crops have enough water to grow. This is particularly important for wheat, which needs a consistent supply of moisture in order to produce a good yield.

Overall, winter is an important season for Ontario farmland, and plays a vital role in supporting the health of crops like wheat. By taking advantage of the unique conditions that winter offers, farmers can help to ensure that their crops are healthy and productive.
