MicroMill Collective
Ancient Grains,
Slow Stone Milled
Our flour
We mainly work with ancient grain varieties that have nourished generations—grains unchanged by industrial agriculture. We take those regeneratively grown grains, slow mill them with a hand crafted stone mill, maintaining the whole grain and processing it into a fine flour.

What makes freshly
milled flour better?
When a grain kernel is milled, it releases its oils—the same oils that carry vitamins, antioxidants, and flavor. In commercial flour, these oils are removed because they cause flour to spoil. What remains is stable, but nutritionally hollow.
Freshly milled flour keeps everything: the germ (nutrition), the bran (fiber), and the endosperm (energy). This is flour as it existed for thousands of years before roller mills and chemical bleaching.
Understanding Fresh Flour
Real flour should be alive. It should smell sweet. It should spoil.
What industrial milling removes
Flour loses most of its benefits a few days after milling. Industrial milling practices remove the germ and bran (usually sell it off as animal feed) and only sell the starchy white endosperm to you.

"Freshly milled flour retains 40 of the 44 essential nutrients!"
Store-bought flour loses most of its vitamins and minerals due to processing. Choosing freshly milled flour means more nutrients, better digestion, and no harmful chemicals!
Varieties we mill
our flour
The Fertile Crescent, 10,000+ Years Old
Einkorn
The oldest wheat known to humanity, einkorn has never been hybridized. Its gentle gluten structure and rich nutritional profile make it easier to digest than modern wheat. The flavor is sweet, almost nutty.
Best For
Pancakes, cookies, muffins, quick breads
Europe, 5,000 Years old
Spelt
One of my favorites! It's great for deserts and breads. Spelt has a mild, slightly sweet flavor and more protein than common wheat. Its water-soluble gluten makes nutrients more accessible.
Best For
Bread, waffles, cookies and cakes
Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia
Khorasan
Sometimes called "Pharaoh's wheat," khorasan produces large, golden kernels with a rich, buttery taste. It's exceptionally high in protein, selenium, and zinc. One of my favorites for sandwich loaves.
Best For
Bread, pasta, pizza dough
Central and Eastern Europe
Rye
A robust grain that produces dense, flavorful breads. Rye's unique pentosans create a moist crumb and distinctive tang. Lower in gluten, it's often mixed with wheat for lighter loaves.
Best For
Traditional Rye bread, crackers, sourdough
Americas, Modern variety
Hard White
Hard White is a modern wheat (not an ancient grain), but we offer it because it’s the easiest flour to bake with when transitioning to freshly milled flour. It has higher gluten and behaves most similarly to all-purpose flour and bread flour from the store.
Best For
Sandwich bread, rolls, enriched doughs
Made with Einkorn Flour
Pancake Mix
Our pancake mix is the best product! It's so convenient to keep it in the freezer (which locks in all the benefits of Einkorn) and you can scoop it out and add the wet ingredients and just like that you have an easy and nutritious breakfast. You can also freeze the pancakes!

Frequently Asked Questions
Einkorn has the highest protein and overall nutrients, however it has the lowest gluten which makes it the trickiest to work with. Einkorn is going to have a learning curve so be prepared for that. It is easier if you mix it with a higher gluten flour like Hard White.
Hard White has the highest gluten which is one of the reasons it's the easiest one to work with. After that is Khorasan and many people like combining both into recipes to get a variety of nutrients.
Our flour is 100% certified organic and the wheat berries are grown on a regenerative organic family farm right here in Idaho.
Freshly milled flour offers improved digestion, better flavor, absence of additives or preservatives, higher vitamin and mineral content, and provides both soluble and insoluble fiber.
Freshly milled flour is best used immediately to take advantage of its full nutritional profile and flavor. If storage is necessary, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freezer for up to 6 months, to prolong freshness. My goal is to teach you how to mill your own flour through in person workshops.
It can be overwhelming to see all the different flour types which is why I'm selling pre-measured recipe mixes at the Nampa Farmers Market. These will include all the dry ingredients for a recipe, and a recipe card so you can get started easily. Other than that, I recommend starting with Hard White as it's most similar to all-purpose flour and works for pretty much every recipe.
While you can try 1:1 for most recipes, there are some key things to keep in mind. The first being that you can't use cup measurements but instead you need to use grams. You also want to "autolyse" which is basically letting the flour soak up the liquids for at least 15 minutes before adding the rest of the ingredients. Some of my favorite recipes are from Grains in Small Places and Fresh Milled Mama.

all of our flour is...
Spray Free
No pesticides here
We only source grains that are free of glyphosate and synthetic chemicals. Just the good stuff.
Whole Grain
Every part of the grain, freshly ground
We mill the entire wheat berry — bran, germ, and endosperm — to retain full nutrition and flavor.
Stone Ground
Milled slowly, the traditional way
Our mills use natural stone burrs to gently grind grain without overheating or damaging nutrients.
Never Enriched
No synthetic vitamins. No fillers
Unlike commercial flour, ours is never stripped and artificially rebuilt — it’s naturally nutrient-dense.
Regeneratively Grown
Better soil, better grain, better future
We partner with farmers using regenerative practices that build soil health and restore ecosystems.
Milled to Order
Always fresh. Never sitting on a shelf.
We grind our flour in small batches each week to preserve nutrients and flavor.
