Stone Ground Organic

We take pride in what we do and that we can offer something for everyone. From conventional, to gluten free, to organic; we have it all!

Founded in 1975, Great River Organic Milling is located near the upper Mississippi River in western Wisconsin. The natural beauty of the surrounding area is a constant reminder of the importance of our responsibility to be good land stewards and how fortunate we are to be able to offer products from this area. All of our products are carefully selected to ensure that the quality exceeds your expectations.

All of our bread flours are milled from hard red spring wheat grown in the northern plains, usually western North Dakota. We strive to purchase wheat that contains 14 percent protein and has a strong gluten content.

As of spring 2018 Great River is excited to announce a new line of products, 13 of which are certified gluten free. Great for those looking for wheat free options or specifically for those that suffer from Celiac Disease. With this new line of gluten free products a new and separate facility is utilized. This new facility follows the standards of food safety testing outlined by the Allergen Control Group. This facility is mandated to follow testing protocol that ensures the products we provide meet the strict standards required for Gluten Free certificate labeling.

The comprehensive line of USDA organic whole grains that are offered can be ground in a home grinder for fresh baking needs or you can buy the organic stone ground flours that we mill as well. Both options are great for a variety of baking needs. Whether you’re looking for organic meals or flours in 50 pounds or 5 pounds we are here to supply you with quality organic baking ingredients ranging in Ancient Grains to rye flour or all purpose flour.

Great River Organic Milling has been producing quality stone ground flours since 1975. The milling stones are a unique part of the mills history and are made of a red granite stone found in North Carolina. The above image is an important step in mill maintenance, the miller is dressing the stone through the use of a nematic tungsten carbide bit. Dressing the stone will resurface the stone and it’s furrows to in return mill a quality nutrient rich flour that is great for all baking types.
