There is a wonderful local Northern California mill called Capay Mills.
I met the owner at an Oakland farmers market and I am a big fan of his business.
He is very knowledgable on his product and enjoys educating the public on his grains.

His email info is – info@CapayMills.com
Phone: (530) 68-FLOUR (683-5687)

Production shop:
16915 Yolo Ave.
Esparto, CA 95627

I live on Oahu in Hawaii..Do you know of any mills that ship to Hawaii? I belong to a food coop..Kokua Natural Foods..and it would be great to have them stock great flour..

One being, One Mighty Mill in Lynn, Massachusetts.

They are a cooperative of growers and millers in our region. We at Down to Earth Markets run 14 different farmers markets in the metro NY region and highlight all the local producers in our markets.

I started investigating and found a stone ground mill in Montana that I switched to probably about a decade ago, when I started making my own sour dough. With the food security issues now, I found that Montana mill had sold out. So I started looking again and found some spectacular mills, a few specializing in ancient grains like einkorn. If anything, I hope this situation brings out a return to local food systems, a support for local food businesses (from farms to restaurants) and return to self-sufficiency (making and growing your own food). Thank you for this piece. Be well!
