"Pure Food ... Naturally!"
“Against the grain” might in fact be the best description for
Speerville Flour Mill. Definitely not your typical company, they run
their business with the goal of maintaining a standard to serve high
quality, whole foods to everyone in their local market, and with a
commitment to helping local producers find a sustainable and viable
market. Not only that, but the Mill is certified organic!
Speerville is an excellent place to get you started on
the local organic track. They are the only source for local and organic
high quality grains including organic bread wheat, organic cereal
grains, organic baking mixes, organic kamut, spelt, rye, oats, barley,
quinoa, corn, buckwheat, amaranth as well as other grains. They also
function as a distributor for other local and organic specialties such
as pastas, organic peas and beans, organic apple cider vinegar, organic
maple products and more! Friendly and professional, they provide
excellent customer service, helping you make unique and healthy
wholesome food choices.
Speerville started as small as they come – from rescuing
one initial load of high quality milling wheat destined to waste
without a market in 1982, to their present full scale operation with 11
employees. Speerville started small by encouraging local farmers to
grow for them. They have since grown tremendously, and now carry over
140 items! They are continually trying to develop what they do,
concentrating on providing the healthiest, most local, organic
wholegrain and wholesome products they can possibly provide. They are
also pioneers in helping to reinvigorate and popularize the ancient
grain of red-fife wheat, dated from the 1820’s! The red fife has
changed very little since then and proves an excellent quality flour
grain, even for people who cannot normally tolerate wheat!
Speerville also prides themselves on being advocates for
healthier living. Buying local and supporting a healthy economy and
eating organically will support a healthier planet., “We have always
maintained that education is a part of this business,” says Tony
Grant., “People need to understand the full price they are paying for
food produced in an unsustainable way. There are many hidden costs in
our current food trends.”
Speerville Flour Mill sees itself as a company that will
last through the difficulties ahead, prepared for the instability of
grain prices, climate change, and the oil crisis. By supporting
Speerville Flour Mill, you are supporting Maritime best. Join the ranks
in favour of local organics!
