WORKSHOP Meet the Farmer

We're so excited to welcome Harold, the farmer behind Janie's Mill to our Beverly location for a chat!

The idea for Janie’s Mill sprung up one day as Harold was watching tons of his organic wheat flow into a semi to travel far from Janie’s Farm. 

He suddenly thought, "Really?! My grain has to go 700 miles to feed a chicken, when there’s all these millions of people nearby who eat bread?”

And so the seed of what would become Janie’s Mill was planted. It took years of research and planning before we began stone-grinding grains from Janie’s Farm in the spring of 2017. We worked with bakers to get their input and feedback and by fall, we were milling consistent, high quality flours that earned kudos from both home and professional bakers. We’ve been milling those flours, and adding more to meet bakers’ specific needs ever since, and can’t wait for you to use our flours, grits, and whole grains in your kitchen or bakery!

The Unwaste Shop sells Janie's Mill Oats and All Purpose Flour. We can't wait for you to meet Harold, ask him your questions about Organic farming and have the kids learn along!
