Red Fife whole wheat flour, certified organic, typically milled the same day as shipped for freshness. Red Fife is our family favorite for flavor and we use it in many types of baking but is better for breads - not so much for cakes and other items needing an all-purpose flour. This is un-sifted whole wheat flour so baked items will generally be heavier or more dense than those made with store bought flour. Unlike the highly refined white flour from the store, this has flavor! Red Fife was the predominant wheat in Canada in the 1800s and that in this blend was grown organically on our farm. As with all whole wheat fresh milled products, please keep in the refrigerator or freezer and cook before eating.

Our Endeavor; All of our grains non-GMO and are grown chemical free as we have used  zero pesticides in our 15 years of farming.  No herbicides are ever used for weed control but instead, crop rotation helps to control weeds.  No synthetic nitrogen fertilizer is used either - rotation to alfalfa, beans or lentils provides natural nitrogen.  None of these are new techniques but were methods used 100 years ago prior to herbicides and synthetic fertilizers.  We are a source of whole grain and fresh-milled flour, primarily ancient or heirloom varieties for those who would like to know exactly where their food comes from.

Six generations of farmers and millers in South Dakota​​​. Great grandparents Hans & Minnie Quarnberg began milling flour in South Dakota in the 1870s, later founding Tri-State Milling in 1913.  In 1889, there were over 300 flour milling companies in South Dakota, by the 1960s only Tri-State. With our three daughters, we are the fifth and sixth generations involved with milling or farming in South Dakota.
