Dont know any but if you find one I wouldnt mind getting a few of us together and getting a bigger order and splitting the cost.
What Gunner is talking about is what I am looking for. Getting a very large amount of wheat from a source as close to the farmer as possible of course without pesticides or preservatives is the goal. I can imagine some of us getting together with a flat bed trailer or two with our barrels and buckets collecting the wheat and going to someones place who has the right facility and making a party of the winnowing and packaging.
With the August harvest coming now is the time to locate a source and get our containers and plans together.
Call a feed store you are looking for whole wheat, not rolled, crimped or steamed. be prepared to pay .50 a pound but it is cleaned and bagged 50 pound bags.
I contacted Bob's Red Mill and got their wholesale pricing info. I am looking for Hard Red Wheat. For wholesale pricing you must buy 500lbs of product (Not $500 worth)
A ton of wheat options....
Bobs red mill .....
$18.5 x 40 (50lb)= $740 + shipping?
Theoretical bulk from a farmer......
$8.5 x 33 bushels= $280.50 + shipping + winnowing work
If I can locate a farmer or distributor then it should be worth my while. So far I have had no luck.
