Why Reviving & Growing Our Local Grain Economy is Essential To Our Future.
From the beginning, the foundational mission of Barton Springs Mill is to facilitate the regrowth of the local grain economy.
Our stone-ground flour mill in Dripping Springs, TX (neighboring Austin, Texas) restores the autonomy of small grain farmers in Texas and surrounding states by giving consumers direct access to locally grown, nutrient-dense organic grains.
From field-to mill-and then directly to your table, our grains travel a short distance, ensuring maximum nutritional value and unbelievable fresh-flour taste.

And because we focus on grains that have historically thrived in southern soil, our farmer's harvest is robust with less spoilage, yielding a higher profit margin.
Giving farmers the opportunity to maximize their profits ensures that non-subsidized, non-gmo organic grain is a viable choice for farmers and therefore consumers in the future.

With every bag of stone-milled flour shipped, we're able to partner with more local farmers in growing ancient, heritage, and landrace non-gmo organic grains.
And each farmer added to our local grain economy strengthens our local food systems and is a win for us all. SHOP BARTON SPRINGS MILL STONE-GROUND FLOUR HERE.
