Rye is having a moment right now, and we are here for it! 🙌

By now you may have seen the buzz around the $60 rye loaf coming out of RYE BY MARTIN AUER in New York City. Whether that price tag makes you raise an eyebrow or nod in appreciation for the craft behind it, one thing is clear: rye is finally starting to get the attention it deserves in the bread world.🍞

We have been milling Dark Rye here at Janie’s Mill over the past few days and it is one of our absolute favorites. Robust, earthy, and deeply nutritious, our 100% extraction Dark Rye Flour retains all parts of the whole grain. That means you get all of the healthy oils, minerals, fiber, and protein that lead to the complex, savory rye flavors found in every bag!

Our Dark Rye Flour is also one of the best things you can feed your sourdough starter. The naturally high carbohydrate and enzyme content activates your starter and keeps it lively and strong.

Let us know in the comments what you like to bake with it! 👇

Our NEW Organic Oat Flour will knock your socks off! With its rich, toasty flavor and lots of fiber and B-complex vitamins, it is good for you and tastes great. 🙌

It’s also super-versatile — great in cakes, cookies, muffins, pancakes, and quick breads. Our Mill Manager Jill even substituted it for rye flour in our Rye Brownie recipe, with great results.

Today Jill takes you behind the scenes to show you how we make our Oat Flour, and why it’s a cut above all the rest. We start by sourcing the highest quality certified organic oat groats. Then we run them through a two-step process.

First the oat groats go through our Roastech flaker to give them a nutty, roasted flavor that you simply will not find in any other oat flour on the market. After the flakes cool, we run them through our hammer mill for a soft, fine, uniform texture. Although this is a labor-intensive process, we think you’ll agree that the resulting flour is worth it!

A quick tip before you bake with it: because oats are naturally high in healthy oils, oat flour tends to clump a little. Sifting it first makes a noticeable difference and takes about thirty seconds. 🌾

Who knew Organic Oat Flour could be this good! If you haven’t tried it yet, this is your sign! Grab yours at janiesmill.com!

A digestive biscuit is is lightly sweet, whole grain cookie that originated in Scotland, and if you haven't tried making them yet, this is your sign! 🍪

Our Oat Digestive Biscuits are everything a good biscuit should be: hearty, buttery, not too sweet, and completely satisfying. Made entirely with our Oat Flakes and our brand new Oat Flour, they are also naturally gluten free, which makes them a wonderful option for anyone looking for a wholesome treat they can feel good about!

The recipe comes together in just 30 minutes and yields 24 biscuits, which sounds like a lot until you realize how quickly they disappear! Leave them plain for a classic, simple biscuit or drizzle a little melted dark chocolate over the top for something slightly indulgent. Both versions are incredible (but we can’t resist the chocolate one!) 🍫

This is also a great way to put our new Oat Flour to work if you've been wondering where to start with it. Paired with our Oat Flakes for texture and a touch of molasses for depth, the flavor is warm, nutty, and absolutely wonderful.

There is something that happens when you bake with freshly stone-milled flour for the first time. The flavor is deeper, the aroma is real and the results speak for themselves! 🌾

Every bag of Janie’s Mill flour starts with certified organic grain grown right here at Janie’s Farm and on our partner farms. Our farm team tends to the grain through every season with genuine care for the soil, the crop, and ultimately the people who will bake with it. From the field to our Engsko mill stones to the bag that arrives at your door, every step is done with intention and nothing is taken for granted.

Nothing gets stripped out. Nothing gets added. Just the whole grain, exactly as it was grown, milled fresh and shipped straight to you!

Swipe through to see exactly why that makes such a big difference in everything you bake. Save this one and share it with a baker who deserves to know! 🙌👇

Our organic certification is not just a once-a-year event. It is something we live every single day. 🌾

Organic certification at Janie’s Mill means we can prove, with full documentation, that every single product we mill traces back to certified organic farms, including Janie’s Farm and every partner farm we work with. No synthetic pesticides. No herbicides. No insecticides. No GMOs. Not in a single one of our products. That is not a marketing claim. That is a documented, verified, independently inspected fact.

Every year, a third-party inspector comes to Janie’s Mill to walk through our operation and verify that everything we say we do is exactly what we do. Jill walks us through what that process actually looks like - and it goes much deeper than most people realize.

During the inspection, our team works through a series of exercises that prove complete traceability through our entire system: from the raw grain on the farm, through cleaning, delivery, milling, and all the way to the customer who received it. Every step accounted for.

Meet our newest piece of equipment at Janie’s Farm, a wheel loader! 🚜🌾

Farmer Tim walks you through how we’ll be putting it to work this fall distributing soil nutrients across our fields. As an organic farm, we don’t use any synthetic fertilizers. Instead, we use carefully sourced natural nutrients applied at the right time of year to build soil health from the ground up!

The wheel loader makes this process much more efficient, allowing us to move and distribute large volumes of organic matter across our fields with precision. Healthy soil this fall means healthier grain next season, which means better flour in your bag down the road.

Every investment we make in this farm is an investment in the quality of what ends up in your kitchen. That’s a commitment we take seriously every single season. 🙌

This Cracked Wheat Porridge Sourdough by Annie Clapper of The Family Crumb is one of the all-time favorite recipes on the Janie’s Mill website. And it’s the perfect way to put our Cracked Wheat—currently ON SALE for 20% OFF! — to good use! 🍞

Annie grew up eating cracked wheat porridge as a cozy winter breakfast, and this loaf is her delicious nod to those memories. The cracked wheat is soaked overnight and cooked into a warm, creamy porridge before being folded into the dough. And that addition does some really special things: It keeps the bread moist and fresh for longer, adds a wonderfully creamy, tender crumb, and gives each slice a depth of flavor that plain sourdough bread simply can’t match.

This recipe uses our Sifted Artisan Flour as the base, with 200g of your choice of whole wheat flour — Whole-Kernel Bread, Turkey Red, Red Fife, Einkorn, or Black Emmer all work beautifully here.

Annie says that flour from Janie’s Mill makes some really happy bread. We couldn’t agree more! 🙌

Head to janiesmill.com for the full recipe and don’t forget our Cracked Wheat is still 20% off through midnight September 10th! 🤍
