Yesterday, I drove nearly 100 miles one way to pick up some winter wheat from "The Country Baker" in NE Indiana. I stuffed 12 pails in my car somehow. They sell Montana Hard White and Red "7 year pro pack" meaning that their method of packaging insures freshness for 7 years. They also carry many other goods such as lentils, legumes, freeze dried yeast. etc. The cost of the wheat was $23.00 for a 50# pail. As of this writing, they are in the process of ordering 17000# of fresh wheat. And there are no delays for shipping at this time.

They also carry electric and hand grinders.

These are very nice people and great to do business with. They even offered to meet me half way with my order so I didn't have to drive that far. That's rare in these days!

Denise seems to know everything imaginable about bread baking and I'm sure she would answer any questions you would have.

Drop them an email for a list of their goods as well as shipping info.

The Country Baker........."thebaker@kconline.com"

I'm heading back next week for another 12 pails
