Woohoo! We're in the TOP FOUR Coolest Things Made in Nebraska! 🎉

The Nebraska Chamber of Commerce & Industry sponsored by Pinnacle Bank released results this morning, and the final round of voting is open now. No more elimination rounds. THIS IS IT!

We got this far because of you, and we'll need every vote to get over the finish line. The voting link is in the first comment. Voting closes Sunday, Oct. 18 at 11:59 p.m. Central.

We've shared a lot lately about the regenerative practices we use to grow our grain. Now here's where the magic happens: our two slow-turning horizontal stone mills, both handcrafted in the USA.

📸 Mill #1 (first photo) is a beautiful piece of Vermont Barre granite from the New American Stone Mills made true to historical mill style.
📸 Mill #2 (second photo) is another fine piece of craftsmanship from Panarchy Mills in Northern California, based on a design from a pair of farmers (brothers actually) who built their own mill in the 1950s!

We'll do a deep dive on these another day. For now, these stones make the fresh, stone-milled flour that got us into the final four and on to pantry shelves across the region!

Thank you!!

🌾 This is where Grand Republic Milling Company flour begins.

This is the western high plains of Nebraska, a little shy of 4,000 feet above sea level. It isn't the most forgiving place to raise grain, but the grain we raise is all the better for it. (The bluff in the background is a story for another day. It stands like a sentinel out here, like so many others, and it'll keep watch over this crop for us.)

The freshly sprouted hard red winter wheat you're looking at is a variety called Steamboat. We're eager to see how it handles this fall and into spring. If all goes well, it'll become an All Purpose flour, and possibly a Bread Flour, about a year from now. From this field to our stone mill and into your kitchen. 🍞

If you're into praying for rain, we'd appreciate it. If you aren't, we'll still take every positive vibe you can muster toward forming a rain cloud. On our list of the top ten risks to this crop, the first three are all "Needs rain." 🌧️

One more way to help: Grand Republic is in the running for the Coolest Thing Made in Nebraska! Real Nebraska wheat, grown up here in the Panhandle and stone-milled fresh, seems like a pretty cool thing to us. If you agree, please vote for us and share this with your friends. Every vote helps put Panhandle-grown flour on the map, growing our own regional food hub that will span between regenerative farmers and the eaters who prefer food that is fresh.

WE MADE THE TOP EIGHT! 🌾

Tens of thousands of votes were cast in the first round of the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce & Industry Coolest Thing Made in Nebraska competition, and because of you, Grand Republic's Fresh, Stone Milled All-Purpose Flour is one of eight products still standing out of the original sixteen.

To every one of our supporters, whether you're down the street in Gering or across the country, thank you! Every vote came from someone who took a minute to stand up for a small, family-owned mill, and it means more than we can say.

⏰ Now the clock is ticking. Round two is MUCH shorter than the first: voting closes at 11:59 p.m. this Sunday, October 11. That's just five days to earn a spot in the Top Four, and every single vote counts.

👉 Vote for Fresh, Stone Milled Flour at the link in the first comment. Then please share this post or link with everyone you know: family, friends, coworkers, your group chats. Anyone, anywhere can vote, and the more people who see this, the better our chances.

The 2026 Coolest Thing Made in Nebraska will be announced October 29 at the NE Chamber's Manufacturing Summit. Let's get there together!

Local roots. Better flour. 🇺🇸

Fresh, stone-milled flour is what we're known for… and as of this morning, we're also printing our own packaging! 😁

We're a pretty meticulous crew, so it was only a matter of time. Printing in-house on our vintage Heidelberg Windmill letterpress lets us keep full quality control over both the product and the process. I mean, I guess we could start milling the paper next… 🤔 Unfortunately, the high plains aren't well known for trees.

The story behind these bags is a long one. The short version: fantastic design work by UNANIMOUS of Lincoln, NE, plus a very practical (and urgent) need to have any vessel to hold flour, combined with the fix to the one flour-packaging headache we've all suffered.

Ever opened a bag of flour on the counter and gotten an instant mess? Our bags don't launch a cloud of dust. Clip the string on the right edge while the bag is facing you, then simply pull the string free. Plus when you're done they roll down from the top and clip shut for storage!

Available in the Panhandle of Nebraska, Eastern Wyoming, and Fort Collins grocery stores, or order online at www.grandrepublicmilling.com.

Prost, Sidney! Grand Republic is coming to Oktoberfest! 🍺🌾

This is our first year at Sidney Oktoberfest, and we're bringing the full spread with us. Find us this weekend, October 2–4, at the Cheyenne County Fairgrounds.

We'll have sourdoughs, rye, cookies, bars, and pastries, all baked with flour we grow and stone-mill ourselves. Check the menu above for the full lineup.

Don't miss our Festival Special: Black Forest Sourdough. It's loaded with cherries and cranberries soaked in cherry liqueur and made just for Oktoberfest. When it's gone, it's gone.

We'll also have our full lineup of fresh stone-milled wheat and rye flours, so you can take some home and bake your own.

Ein Prosit! Bring your appetite and we'll bring the bread. 🍞

🌾 Want a taste of one of the 2026 top 16 Coolest Things Made in Nebraska?

We ship coast to coast in the lower 48, so wherever you are, you can bake with fresh-milled Nebraska flour from Grand Republic Milling.

Our flour starts in regenerative, living soil here in the Panhandle. We stone-mill it fresh, which keeps the flavor, aroma, and nutrition that commodity flour loses before it even gets to a shelf. Bakers tell us the difference shows up in their first loaf.

Ready to try or reorder? Link to our products page in the comments, or drop a ❓ in the comments and we'll help you pick the right flour for your kitchen.
