We are passionate about the quality of the food our families are eating and about making good ingredients easier to access locally. We’ve done the research, built relationships with farmers, and continue working to give you options so you can make the best decision for your own family.

Did you know we sell wheat berries, too?

As your local miller, we wanted to make sure our fellow home millers know that you can purchase wheat berries directly from us whether you need a small amount or want to stock your pantry with 25 or 50 lb bags.

A few questions we get asked when we go to market:

Are your grains organic?
Yes! We partner with farmers who have USDA Certified Organic farms and practices.
We also grow wheat right here on our own family farm. While our farm is not Certified Organic, the wheat we grow for The 11:13 Mill is grown without glyphosate or pesticides.

Do you grow any of your own wheat?
Yes! We are a fourth generation family farm and growing our own wheat is another way we’re working toward bringing grain from the field to your family’s table. Our farm grown wheat is not Certified Organic, but it is grown without glyphosate or pesticides. That means we know where our grain comes from, how it was grown and who grew it. We offer both USDA Certified Organic grains from our partner farms and wheat grown on our own farm without glyphosate or pesticides.

Where are you located?
7415 W Lovejoy Rd Byron, Michigan.

Do you sell 25 & 50 lb bags of wheat berries?
Yes! And you aren’t limited to those sizes. We can put together quantities based on your milling and baking needs.

What varieties do you carry?
We carry several different grains and wheat varieties, including hard white, hard red, soft white, soft red, spelt, einkorn, rye, durum and more.

Do you offer wholesale:
Yes! We offer wholesale options for businesses, bakeries, farm stores and other retailers looking for quality wheat berries, grains and fresh milled flour. Contact us to discuss quantities, varieties and wholesale pricing.

Do I have to mill my own?
Nope! You can purchase the whole wheat berries to mill at home OR have us freshly mill your flour for you.

I’m new to milling Can you help me figure out what grain I need?
Absolutely. Tell us what you like to bake and we can help point you toward the wheat variety that best fits what you’re making.

Whether you’ve been milling at home for years, just bought your first mill, or simply want locally accessible fresh-milled flour

The 11:13 Mill is here to be your local source for grain.

Let’s talk sourdough starters…but specifically a fresh milled sourdough starter.

A sourdough starter really is simple it’s just flour, water and time. But what you’re feeding that starter can make a difference.

When we feed ours fresh milled whole grain, we’re using the entire wheat berrythe bran, germ and endosperm. Nothing has been removed. That means the starter is getting all of the nutrients and minerals naturally found in the grain.

This is also why you’ll often see whole wheat or rye recommended when you’re trying to get a starter going or give a sluggish starter a boost. Whole grain flour can ferment very actively and gives those wild yeasts and bacteria plenty to work with.

Can you make sourdough starter with regular store bought flour? Of course! But when we have whole grains sitting here and a mill right at our fingertips…we’re going to use them. 😂

Fresh milled starters can also move FAST. Instead of only following a clock, watch your starter. Is it doubling? Is it bubbly throughout? Has it peaked and started falling? Your starter will tell you a lot more than a timer will.

And apparently our starters needed accessories too. 😂

These cute little sourdough starter jar bonnets we make are $8 each and are perfect for keeping your starter covered while it’s doing its thing on the counter.

Because if we’re going to have jars of fermenting flour sitting all over the kitchen…they might as well be cute. 🤎

“Which one of your flours is closest to all-purpose flour?”

My followup is usually… “Well what do you want to bake?”

We get asked this ALL the time. And we also hear, “Is fresh milled flour really that different from regular all purpose flour?”

The short answer is… yes! It IS different and that difference is worth learning.

There’s a little bit of a learning curve with fresh milled flour but once you understand the why it starts to make so much more sense.

When we mill wheat berries we’re using the whole grain, nothing stripped, the bran, germ and endosperm. Because everything is still there, fresh milled flour absorbs water differently, needs time to hydrate and different grains behave differently when you bake with them (gluten strength, protein and fiber are big factors).

That’s why there isn’t ONE fresh milled flour that replaces all purpose flour.

It depends on what you’re making!

Our Daily Grace- Hard white is great for breads, rolls and everyday baking. Red & Risen-Hard red gives us more strength and that heartier wheat flavor. Called to Light-Soft wheat & Through the Reeds- Soft red wheats are beautiful for cookies, muffins, cakes and pastries. And grains like our Ancient One-spelt, Chosen One-einkorn, Plowman’s Grain-rye and Firm Foundation- durum each bring something completely different.

Even something as simple as letting your flour rest for 20–30 minutes can completely change a dough. The grain has time to absorb the water, the bran softens and the dough begins developing before you decide it needs more flour or water.

Once you understand what each grain needs, fresh milled baking really isn’t complicated.

And THAT is a huge part of what we want to do at The 11:13 Mill.

We don’t just want to sell you flour. We want you to understand your grain, know why it behaves the way it does, and feel confident taking recipes your family already loves and making them with fresh milled flour so you’re getting all of the nutrients God intended for us to have when we eat it.

Our food doesn’t always have to be instant or fast. Sometimes it just needs good ingredients, a little patience and an understanding of the why. 🤎

Milled with Heart. Ground in Faith.
