    • The Farmers
    From Agrilicious to Tokio


    The quality of Barton Springs Mill flours is a direct result of the tireless work of our farmers. It is vital to us to use as many crops as possible grown within the state of Texas. Without our farmer partners, our mill would not exist.

    What we love most about our farmers is that they showed up for us before we even existed. When BSM was only an idea in James’ mind, he found 30 organic grain farmers on agrilicious.com. Ten agreed to meet with him. He toured the state, driving to farms from Amarillo to Tokio, talking with each farmer and learning about the land. To his full surprise, all agreed to work with him on this non-existent business—more farmers than he needed, in fact.

    James chose two, knowing they would produce well more than he could handle for that first growing season. A third farmer insisted he be included, too. James agreed to give him some seed, but certainly not to buy any finished crop. Come harvest, the cream of the crop came from 78-year-old Ralph Hoelscher of Miles, Texas. The insistent one, of course. James bought the entire crop.

    Since our early relationships with farmers like Henry Martens, Todey Menix, and Aaron Vogler, to the new partnerships we’re forming with Kameron Koepp, Jim Richardson, and Leo and Zach Thrasher, we have seen first hand the labor and risks of farming. These people get up earlier than we do and they work harder than we do, all on crops that may or may not work in their soil. We all learn through the process. High protein wheats? Those are going to Ralph, whose land, for whatever reason, pumps up the protein on any wheat he plants. He is the talent behind TAM105, a go-to for our pro bakers for its consistency and price. Henry’s land excels with Sonora soft wheat and Danko rye. Grown in sandy loam, Rouge de Bordeaux tastes like beige. Moved to Kameron Koepp’s heavy clay soil, this terroir-dependant varietal offers exuberant notes of cinnamon, molasses, and baking spices.

    The way we see it, we’re partners. All in this together—our seeds, their soil—with seasonal variables far beyond any of our control. We do the work of cleaning, milling, and providing products to our customers. But our farmers, they’re doing the real work, and we thank them for taking the risk with Barton Springs Mill.

      Great product, don’t love the packaging

      Title says it all. Really can’t go wrong with the grains Barton Springs offers. However I’m not the biggest fan of the paper bags they come in. They just feel kind of flimsy, like to the point where I’m almost concerned the bag will break. I recommend moving them to another container. Great wheat berries tho!

      Einkorn Flour

      Stone ground flour from Barton Springs Mill makes amazing sourdough bread

      I purchased several stone ground heritage grain flour from Barton Springs Mill and tried multiple Ken Forkish bread loaf recipes , from his black bread to an emmer loaf. The breads turned out amazing and I know the flour made all the difference. I have plenty more loaves to make and I’m truly happy having my stash of flour from Barton Springs mill. I highly recommend giving these heritage grains a try. A very happy customer from Texas - who is delighted to purchase local .

      Goodness gracious, what a blessing!

      So grateful for the ability to purchase Einkorn berries, a true super food. I use a Wonder Mill for grinding, and make fresh baked goods on a nearly daily basis. Thanks, Barton Springs Mill.
