Description:

|
Great River Organic Milling is located on the upper Mississippi River, in the
heart of what is called the Hiawatha Valley. The natural beauty of the area is a
constant reminder of the importance of our commitment to organic agriculture.
Organic, or sustainable agriculture is more than the avoidance of chemical
fertilizers and pesticides. An organic farm strives to protect our environment
by building and maintaining healthy soil which, in turn, improves water and air
quality. It has been shown that grain and other food crops grown in a healthy
soil, resist pests and diseases better than conventionally grown crops and also
contain more vital nutrients important to humans. Consuming organic foods
promotes thehealth of individuals and the land on which it was grown. In
supporting organic agriculture we promote the cycle of a healthy environment
which includes the lives of microorganisms, plants, and humans.
Most Great
River flour is stone-ground. We believe the natural granite millstones
contribute to the quality, taste and nutritional integrity of whole grain flour.
Grain flowing into the stones becomes very thin, flat flakes which integrates
all parts of the wheat immediately into the flour, allowing the flour to have
more flavor. The cooler milling occurring with stones allows important enzyme
activity to continue. Protein levels will also be maintained. Our stone-ground
flours are milled to order, to retain the nutritional value of the flour.
Great River is Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International. and Kosher
approved. This requires a yearly inspection of our records and milling facility
to determine that the products labeled as organic are organically grown,
processed and handled in accordance with applicable standards.
