This classic buttery-cheesy scone recipe was generously shared by Katrina Heche, the voice behind in Stoughton, Wisconsin - and they are absolutely perfect!

Made with our Silky Smooth Pastry Flour, these scones have that irresistibly tender, flaky crumb that only a good pastry flour can deliver. Sharp cheddar, fresh chives, a hint of garlic, cold butter, and chilled heavy cream - simple ingredients that come together into something seriously impressive.

One tip we love from the recipe: refrigerate your scones for 30 minutes before baking. It keeps the butter cold, reduces spreading, and gives you those beautiful defined edges that make a scone look as good as it tastes. 🙌

Head to janiesmill.com for the full recipe - and give Katrina a follow at for more incredible baking inspiration!

Yes! Our Frederick White Wheat is a 100% extraction flour, meaning the entire grain is present— bran, germ, and endosperm — just as it was in the whole kernels before stone-milling. So it’s an excellent whole wheat flour choice, especially for cakes, cookies, biscuits, and quick breads where you want whole grain nutrition with a milder, more neutral flavor than you get with red wheat varieties.

That said, if you’re baking bread and need a higher protein level for proper gluten development and rise, Frederick White Wheat on its own may not get you there. Here are a couple of options 👇

🌾 Blend it with our High-Protein Flour or Sifted Artisan Flour for a great balance of whole grain goodness and bread-baking strength

🌾 Or reach for one of our higher-protein 100% extraction flours like Red Fife, Durum, or Whole-Kernel Bread Flour for a fully whole grain loaf with the protein level that bread needs

As always, there’s no single right answer … it depends on your tastes and what you’re baking! Have more questions? Drop them in the comments below and we’ll do our best to answer. 👇

W**d control the Janie’s Farm & Janie’s Mill way — without herbicides, of course! 🌱🚜

Farmer Harold explains how, soon after planting soybeans, he pulls the 40-foot tine-weeder through the field. The tines disturb the soil just enough to dislodge weeds without harming the soybeans that are just starting to germinate in the soil beneath.

No glyphosate, no other herbicides, no synthetic chemicals - just smart, intentional farming that works with the nature instead of against it. This is what regenerative and certified organic farming looks like, and it’s one of the many reasons we’re so proud of how we grow grains for you here at Janie’s Farm.

Good for our fields; good for your table! Shop our Organic Soybeans at janiesmill.com!

Farmer Harold was out in the field checking the pollination of our Turkey Red Wheat on May 19! 🌾

This is one of the most fleeting yet important moments of the entire growing season. That’s because the few days when the wheat is flowering, pollinating, and setting grain determines the quality and quantity of the harvest — impacting what eventually makes it into your bag of freshly stone-milled flour.

Harold knows this field like the back of his hand, and watching him walk through it during pollination is a reminder of just how deeply this work is rooted in care and knowledge built over many decades!

Turkey Red is one of our most beloved heirloom varieties - brought to the Great Plains by Mennonite immigrants from Crimea and Ukraine in 1873, prized for centuries for its hardiness and exceptional baking qualities, and recognized by Slow Food on their Ark of Taste. It has deeper, more complex flavor than common hard red winter wheats and produces beautifully moist and cohesive loaves.

It also makes a wonderful substitute for All-Purpose flour in cookies, muffins, crackers, and quick breads! Shop now at janiesmill.com!

Ever wonder what that lot number on your bag of Janie’s Mill flour is all about? Jill breaks it down for you today! 🌾

Our lot numbers are all about transparency and traceability — things we take very seriously! When you open a bag of Turkey Red, High-Protein, or any other Janie’s Mill product, the lot number links it back through our entire system all the way to the field it was grown in. Traceability is also important for the integrity of our certified organic farm and mill, and for food safety.

Here’s how it works: When grain comes into Janie’s Mill, it comes with a farm lot number that tells us exactly which field it was grown on, the type of grain, when it was harvested, and the bin it was stored in. Then we add our own milling lot number to that, so that the number on each bag gives the full history of your flour all the way back to its source.

For us, this isn’t just about compliance. It’s about accountability and the kind of transparency we believe every baker deserves. You should always know exactly where your food comes from, and we’re proud to make that possible. 🙌

Rhubarb season is here and we have the perfect spring-time recipe for you! 🌿

Our Rhubarb and Rye Galette is rustic yet sophisticated, and easier than it looks. It features a rye & wheat crust, a layer of almond frangipane, and a delicious rhubarb filling! 🤌

Think of a galette as pie’s laid-back, free-form cousin. No pie dish, no fuss, just a stunning flaky crust folded around a bright, tart rhubarb filling that bakes up golden and gorgeous every single time.

This recipe uses two of our favorite flours together, and the combination is perfect 👇

🌾 Our Silky Smooth Pastry Flour brings the tender, delicate flakiness you want in a great pastry crust - milled from soft red winter wheat at 80% extraction for a light, silky texture that holds together beautifully without being tough.

🌾 And our Dark Rye Flour adds a wonderfully nutty, earthy depth to the dough that complements the tartness of the rhubarb in the most perfect way. It is bold enough to add real character to the crust without overpowering the filling.

Together they create a pastry dough that is flaky, flavorful, and unforgettable. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream and you will not hear a single complaint. 🙌

Harold’s single question changed everything - and now it answers itself every single day. 🙌
