We mill fresh to order in small batches, ensuring that each product meets our high standards of freshness and quality. The granite stone mill we use meticulously and gently converts wheat berries into nutritious flour while preserving the natural flavors and nutrients.
Stone milling is a traditional process that has been utilized for hundreds of years in various cultures. This time-honored method not only preserves but also maintains the integrity of the final product, ensuring its quality. Unlike the more modern high-speed roller mills, stone milling operates at a much slower pace, generating significantly less heat in the process. This reduction in heat production ultimately helps to minimize the loss of valuable nutrients that can occur due to oxidation, resulting in a healthier end product.
We take great pride in ensuring the exceptional quality of our flour, as it reflects our commitment to excellence.

Each bag is thoughtfully filled by hand and carefully packaged with attention to detail to maintain its freshness and integrity.
Because we mill in small batches, you can be assured that the flour you receive hasn’t been sitting on a warehouse shelf for months or even weeks. To provide you with the freshest product, each bag is carefully stamped with the milled-on date, ensuring transparency and quality. Orders will ship out promptly within 3-5 business days, and will arrive at your doorstep ready for your baking adventures!
From Field to Plate
At NEK Grains we plant, grow, harvest, clean, store and process every single grain of wheat that goes into the fresh-milled flour we offer. The fields we grow our grain on have been cropped by our family since the mid-1900’s where the primary function of the farm was dairy farming.
In 2018 we did some experimenting with grains in the unique growing environment that is the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont and once we realized that we could grow wheat well we focused on that grain crop. Since then we have added soybeans to our grain crop rotation, and have planted some rye and a different variety of wheat so that we can offer a wider variety of flour.
Every single grain is milled on a granite stone mill that gently cracks open the bran of the wheat while also maintaining integrity of the wheat germ, endosperm and natural oils which houses all of the nutrients in each berry of wheat. Our fresh flour has a light, nutty flavor that adds a unique flavor profile to anything that you bake. Flour should have flavor, and we know you’ll notice a delicious difference in all of the NEK Grains products.
