Where to find wheat berries in MD/VA/PA/WV area
Morning! I live in DC and am hoping to find a wheat producer in driving distance. Primarily interested in hard red and white, spelt, rye, or something new and interesting! The shipping costs in grain quantities over 5# are nuts, so I'd like to just pick up myself. Plus it would be lovely to know exactly where my brain is coming from. Thanks.
Not sure if you have ever been to Seylou bakery, but it is a terrific DC bakery that mills all of its grains in-house and all grains are from the area. These are some of their sources:
Next Step Produce, MD
Heritage Acres, PA
Moon Valley Farms, MD
Pecan Meadows, PA
Red Tail Farms, NC
Earth N' Eats, PA
Compass Winds, VA
Greater Richmond Grains, VA
I know of three sources, happy to learn about more!
1. Mom's Organics, last at $1.50 a lb for hard red.
2. Migrash Farms, at various farmers markets. Currently not selling though.
3. Azure Standard - you order ahead and meet the truck at a given time and place, in Bailey's Crossroads.
