Janie’s Mill, in East Central Illinois, is a family business committed to supplying high quality organic flours and grains. Most of the grains are grown on the family farm, just down the road from their mill. They sell USDA certified wheat flours, from high-protein bread flour to silky cake and pastry flours, rye, corn, oats, and buckwheat flours, as well as the ancient grains, einkorn and spelt. Some products are temporarily out of stock due to the increased demand. It seems baking bread (along with adopting a puppy and running) have seen a great resurgence as people cope with staying home.
On their website, Janie’s Mill has an excellent list of learning resources including videos, websites and baking blogs. They also include recipes that range from traditional corn bread to exotic baked goods like green tea-vanilla pound cake.
