We are fiercely proud of our Texas-grown heirloom grains and corn, and you'll be able to taste the difference immediately. Flours that lend a perfect crispness to your waffles, a bit of chew to your pizzas. A hint of toothsome crunch to your almond cake, courtesy of some Hopi Blue cornmeal. A bread you could swear included cinnamon and molasses, because that's the aroma of Rouge de Bordeaux straight from the field.
In 2016, Barton Springs Mill set out to bring authentic heritage and landrace grains and corn to our fellow Texans. We work with farmers across the state, all exceptional at their craft, to grow organic crops using the same strains of seeds planted here in Texas in the early 1900s. (We've got the farming chops of Henry Martens in Tokio, TX, to thank for those gorgeous crops above.)
Most every day of the week, the mill is running, churning multiple varieties of wheat, corn, rice, and rye, and spelt for Texans who prize the nuances of taste, texture, and performance found only in heritage crops.
If you don’t know what great great grandpa's grains taste like, come give it a try. Visit us at the mill, take a baking class, eat at the restaurants cooking with our products, talk with one of our staff to find out the best starter flour for you. There’s a big world beyond bleached white flour and GMO corn, and you are going to love it.
We love all 3 of your grits, the green, red, & blue! We get the polenta grind so that they are smoother.
By far my favorite wheat I have ever used in bread. Scrumptious aroma. The bread is so rich and flavorful, it does not need butter or honey but goes very well with sharp cheese.
I’ve ordered multiple times. It’s always great with wonderful taste.
Have not used as of yet. Smell awesome!
This flour brings the subtle taste of the natural grain to any thing you bake. It’s not just a flavorless thickener.
We had such a good time, learned about the art and process of baking, and ate way too much!
Just got back into sourdough after a several year hiatus and rouge de Bordeaux did not disappoint. Beautiful flavor and a springy loaf. This flour has character and was easy to work with. Will be using regularly.
Works very well in enriched doughs and quick breads. My go-to pick for pancakes, waffles, crepes, scones, biscuits. Delicious.
This is a beautiful flour that tastes delicious! I used it to make cookies, waffles and pancakes. Each one turned out better than usual.
I am not an adventuresome baker …so imagine how thrilled I was when I made sourdough pancakes with 100% Ancient Grains flour!. They were fabulous! Now, what next? Hmmmm
but exactly the same high quality as all the other flours i’ve tried from barton springs mill. highly recommended.
