Hayden Flour Mills

Hayden Flour Mills uses stone milling, an old-world process in which whole grains are crushed between rotating stones in small batches. This method preserves the natural oils of the grain and retains the germ, bran, and endosperm. No bleach, enrichments, folic acid, bromates, malts, or additives of any kind are used in the flours. All wheat and corn are non-GMO and chemical-free; crops are grown without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or glyphosate. The mill runs on 100% solar power. Heritage grain varieties are drought-tolerant, require no chemical inputs, and are suited to desert growing conditions. The business describes its farming approach as regenerative, noting that the deep root systems of its heritage wheat sequester carbon and revitalize soil nutrients.
