Hi guys. I like to bake and make flour from grain, but ordering online is expensive. I am looking for any contact in central indiana (I live on the southside of Indy) that sells whole wheat. I have talked to all of the grain wholesalers, but have failed to find one that sells for human consumption. Can anyone here point me in the right direction?
Thanks. |

I don't know. I doubt they have any but talk to someone in customer service...that department seems to always try to make people happy. I assume you know they are Indiana based. Tell them how much you love clabber girl and ask if they know of any suppliers. Also think bread bakeries...both small family owned stores that make baked goods like breads and donuts and also places like the Bunny/Any other big name bread bakery (no idea where it is, but I think there must be one close to every area...to get bread that fresh you can't be shipping it from Mexi-Cali...has to be made locally). Another option is a place like Shapiro's. I think they bake their own bread if not ask who bakes their bread. Ask where they get their flour/grains, etc.. etc.. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Did some research++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I knew there was a bakery in Evansville (I know not central Indiana) and finally figured out it was Lewis Bakeries (makers of Bunny Bread. They must know where to buy flour and or grains. Again if they only know where to get flour, ask them who they buy flour from and bingo you have your grain source. Can't believe I knew so much about grains...lol Good luck. Oh btw what is in the animal grain that you shouldn't consume? |
| Buy straight from the farmer. Most, if not all, current wheat is "food grade". About half or more of the wheat that gets hauled to the elevator here gets loaded back out on a semi and goes straight to the flour mill. At the flour mill all they do is clean it (remove chaff and other debri) and check it for a couple of different toxins. I don't mean to scare you about the toxins, but it is worth mentioning. If you feel safer, get the wheat from a local elevator because some check for the toxins themselves and reject any wheat that has them. I can't remember what the main toxin is called, otherwise I would tell you. |
