Overview
Multi-generational regenerative grain farm growing, milling, and packing whole grain flours, berries, legumes, and pantry staples.
Axten Farms is a four-generation family grain farm near Minton, Saskatchewan, founded with roots going back to Henry and Kate Axten. Today, Tannis and Derek Axten operate 10,000 acres growing specialty grains, legumes, and oilseeds. The farm grows, cleans, and mills its grains on-site in a HACCP food-grade facility, producing whole grain flours, whole grain berries ready to mill at home, and pantry staples. The flour lineup includes heritage and ancient varieties such as einkorn, khorasan, Red Fife, spelt, rye, and buckwheat, alongside a seven-variety spring wheat blend. Pantry staples include desi and black chickpeas, lentils, beans, and golden flax. Products are available for wholesale to bakers, chefs, brewers, and CPG producers, and are carried by grocers and specialty retailers across Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Learn more on their About Page.
Axten Farms grows all its grains using regenerative agriculture practices and holds Regenified certification, described as an independent third-party verification that regenerative practices are real and ongoing. The farm states it is glyphosate-free and uses only non-GMO grain varieties. Key practices include low-disturbance no-till farming adopted nearly two decades ago, diverse crop rotations, intercropping (two compatible crops planted together to reduce weeds without herbicide), and cover cropping after harvest to limit erosion and soil compaction. The farm also uses stripper headers to leave standing straw in the field for moisture retention and soil feeding, and applies compost and compost extracts to support soil biology. The farm notes that as soil structure and biology have improved, its reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides has decreased. All grains are grown on Axten Farms soil, then cleaned, milled, and packaged at the on-farm HACCP food-grade facility.
