We believe that a gristmill is at the heart of turning the many and varied contributions of a community into sustenance for all.

"Eat food. Not too much.
Mostly plants."

– Michael Pollan

From philosopher to physician, we now know that eating more plant- based food nourishes our bodies and our land.

Experimenting this weekend with Dolmas, a Greek recipe for stuffed grape leaves, using Maine Grains pearled black barley instead of rice.

This recipe is simple, meditative to make, and an easy bring along to outdoor picnics at the lake! The filling includes cooked barley, loads of fresh dill, parsley, and mint from the garden, cumin, allspice, olive oil, and lemon juice.

Took direction from this website to get a feel for the technique, and it should be easy to replicate this recipe with other Maine Grains in the future. SO YUMMY!

The business of flour has become a commodity business, driven by size and scale. Maine Grains, along with other small regional mills across the U.S. are demonstrating the power of flour to create jobs, a resilient supply chain, and healthier communities.

Tim Wu’s New York Times editorial piece captures how fresh flour is finding itself at the center of business innovation and economic transformation.
