Overview
Regenerative farm and stone mill producing whole-grain flours, cornmeal, and heritage grains.
Early Bird Farm & Mill is a working farm and stone mill founded by Drew Speroni in Wilseyville, CA. It produces organically grown, stone-ground grains across a broad range of categories: wheat flours, rye flour, corn grits, cornmeal, polenta, popcorn kernels, specialty and heritage grains, flour blends, and baking mixes. The mill runs a custom Astrié mill built with Sierra Nevada granite millstones and designed by French artisans. A newer product line, Clair de Farine, is milled exclusively on the Astrié mill and is described as an everyday flour with a silky texture. Early Bird Farm & Mill also publishes baking resources for both home bakers and artisan bakers, and offers workshops and educational programs on sustainable growing and milling. Learn more on their About Page.
Early Bird Farm & Mill grows its grains using regenerative farming practices, which the business describes as its core mission. These methods are intended to rebuild soil organic matter, increase water retention, and support biodiversity rather than simply maintain current soil conditions. The Astrié mill processes grain at lower temperatures than conventional mills, which the business says preserves the flavor and nutrient content of each grain. Stone milling retains the whole grain, keeping the bran, germ, and endosperm intact rather than separating them as roller milling does. The business frames regenerative agriculture as a model it hopes other farms will replicate, and pairs its milling operation with educational programs to spread sustainable land stewardship.
